Those Fateful Words...

[queentreev1004]

I love you. How long did it take before he told you he loved you or vice versa? I'm asking because I have some trust issues and it's hard for me to trust a man especially when he's sweet and nice and good to me ( yea I know I'm pretty twisted, crazy past relationships) but the other night Leon told me he loved me and a couple weeks prior to that he said it in a text message but I didn't know what to say. My feelings for him have grown tremendously and I know that I'm falling for him but I'm afraid to share that with him. How do I get over the fear of letting go and pouring out my heart to him?

Took my bf a month. Which is a bit soon for me, but I was so happy! He really is the best thing to ever happen to me. And I was able to say it back with some time. I just told him that I knew I could love him, but I was scared because of my past. I told him just to give me some time. And he was completely understanding!

To get over my past I just really really really thought about how much he meant to me and how much he loved me. He hasn't ever done anything for me to not trust him. I guess I just had to fix my heart before I could give it fully to him. And when I did do that it was the best feeling in the world!

Good luck!!

You have to give each man the chance to prove he is better than the last. That's what I have told myself before. DB told me he loved me very soon after we began dating but we were both feeling the same way and it has worked out perfectly for us

It took DB two years, mostly because we were friends and we were both seeing other people, but we knew we wanted to be together.

I've been through the ringer with trust issues, but I've found communication is the only way to build trust and trust is the only way to build a good stable relationship. Really, you just have to take a deep breath, let go, and tell him, and if you ever need anything, feel free to pm, my box is always open.

remember communicate.

I was in a similar situation. It took DB about a year and a half.

I agree with communication. That truly is the only way to build a good stable relationship Just close your eyes, take a deep breath and JUMP

It took DB 2 years of dating just me and him going through boot to tell me he loved me... worth the wait. As for how to get over the fear... start slowly. Talk to him about it, but at a pace that is comfortable to you. You have to develop that trust through communication, but you can't rush it either IMO.

It took Df like 1 month. it was pretty early, but we were friends before and have always had feeings for eachother. I think im the 1st girl he was actually sure about.

[MySailorsKat0402]

Took a little over a month I'd say. I accidentally said it as I was hanging up the phone and he called back and told me he loved me.

It took my now-DF 2 months after we started dating. It was very mutual and has always worked out. Love is be a strong word. Good luck to the both of you

when we first started going out he would write "Love you" to me, but by one month we were saying it fully and meant it.
