When and how did you know you were in love?

Question

Share your stories! I’m currently dating my boyfriend of 3 months and I think “I love you” all the time when I’m talking to him, but I haven’t said it yet in case I don’t really mean it. So when did you guys know you were in love? When did you say “I love you”? How did you know you were ready?

Answer

Girl I am in the same damn boat, but I know I love him. I realized it when I went out of town for a music festival for a week and I missed him like crazy! I haven't said it yet just because I'm afraid it's too soon (we've been dating since November, official since December) and I figure if it really is the real deal I'll still feel this way a few more months down the road when we're not so engrossed in the honeymoon phase lol. Literally cannot stop thinking about him
