For me, it felt too soon, but by 3 months, I felt I really did love him and told him so:)Anyway, in the last 4-6 weeks, we seem to be telling each other "i love you" at least once a day! We see each other 3-4 times a week, and speak on the phone or text the other days.Last night, he said "i love you" and said he hopes it never loses its meaning - which made me think, does that phrase lose its meaning if you say it too often? I am not someone who says it easily, and when I do say it, I mean it. I say it because I want to let him know how much he means to me. Not because I want him to say it back, etc etc. Sometimes he says it first, sometimes i do. But his comment has made me think that maybe i shouldn't say it every time i feel it...what do you think?Thanks :)

 while it does not lose it's meaning... if you hear it all the time you may take it for granted.
I am with a man now who rarely says it... when he does it means so much more to me than it has in any other relationship.

 It really depends on the relationship. I know I've had relationships where it lost its meaning because I said it too much, but on the reverse of that my sister and her fiance say it to each other when one of them leaves the room and they don't think it has lost its meaning whatsoever.From what I've learned, that can work for them but sometimes you have to save it for that one special moment when all you can say or think is 'I love you'. It's all about balance.

 I mean if you say it like 10 times a day for no reason then probably it would. But so long as you only say it when you mean it, then it shouldn't be a problem.
