So your dating, and you think this is really heading somewhere great, Right? Your getting butterflies in your stomach every time you see him/her, you jump when the phone rings… Your gushing to all your friends about how wonderful it all is… and you think you both have reached the point, where you must say those three “little” words…. I Love You.

Something in your mind is making you wonder if you should really say it… Will they freak out and run if I say it?  Will this be the end of something really spectacular?  When is it the appropriate time to say it? I don’t think there ever really is… Actions speak louder than words, if you treat them like you love them, then they know you love them or care very deeply for them.  A lot of people think once they are dating, that a few months in they just automatically have to say those words. Because that’s just what comes next? When maybe its not even on that level yet. Don’t be so quick to slap the word love on a relationship that isn’t worthy of  it! Too many relationships go sour because they just want to be loved, want to feel adored or just want to hear someone say it to them, instead of knowing that they actually love that person. 

Be sure of what you’re feeling before you go jumpin’ the gun and chase someone off. If things are going great the way they are, then leave it. Saying “I love You” , those are just words… showing someone you really love them… That’s what love is all about.
