Okay so I have been dating a girl for a little over a month ago, i really really like her, we have a lot in common, and we're very affectionate with each other. I really want to tell her that I love her, and that she will reciprocate that feeling, so I was wondering when will it be appropriate to tell her I love her, i have the feeling i just don't know when it will be the right time. Can anyone help?

A month seems a little too soon. I would build it up over time. So go from 'I really like you' to 'I'm really falling for you/starting to love you' to 'I love you'.

I don't think you can put a time limit on it, say it when you feel it. You'll know when you love her, tell her then.

When you're sure that you do in fact love her then you can tell her whenever you want. There's no other time limit set for you.

Don't indicate so directly. Rather turn it into a cocky remark like "<sigh> why do you love me so much?"

This. As developing individuals, our definition of "love" is going to evolve as we evolve. If what you feel now is something you would describe as "love," then go for it.

Totally agree. If you feel strongly enough about somebody, to the point where you would call it love, then go for it. I personally don't like to throw it around, it loses it's meaning a bit, you know? But if it feels right, it more than likely is right.

Don't lock because i bumped, i just wanted to know i resolved the question. It happened over the weekend. We were sitting at her prom, eating dinner, i began by whispering compliments in her ear, then i finished by, saying in one of the lightest way possible, "I love you", and she loved it, it turned out to be an awesome night
