My guy friend had been dating a lovely girl for a couple months, and those three little words were always on the tip of his tongue. "We'd be eating cereal and I'd think, "Oh, yes, I love you,'" he told me. "We'd be walking to the grocery store and I'd think, 'Yup, I really love you.' But I would bite my tongue; I didn't want to say it too soon or at some awkward moment."
Finally, one night, they were lying in bed together...

...and he turned to her on the pillow. "I love you," he said. "I love you, too," she responded, smiling. They'd only been together for two months, but they both already knew.
For me, it totally depends on the relationship. With Alex, I whispered "I think I'm falling in love with you" after only a few weeks of knowing him. With past boyfriends, it has sometimes taken years!
