If you're in a new relationship, when does it seem normal to say "I love you" ? Does saying it imply there is a commitment? If the relationship has already turned physical, does that mean love is being felt? Or not necessarily.
Just wondering because I was in one relationship for many years, which ended because of death. I never did much dating in my life, and I don't know how things normally go. I met someone a month or two ago, and we have been together a lot, but we don't say "I love you." I think maybe it's because he was hurt by his ex wife, and might be afraid of getting hurt again.
I feel like if he doesn't say it, then I shouldn't, even though I like saying it, especially during intimacy. I realize people mean all kinds of different things by the word "love." He is showing me love by wanting to be together a lot. Just not saying those words. I am not really hung up on it, just a little curious.
