I think I have this problem. I fall hard for any girl who'll give me the time of day. It's driven by mostly desperation, but I'm still glad I maintain some standards.

I think the time to say I love you varies from relationship to relationship. I've actually heard it and said it early on in my past relationships. Probably after 2-3 months on average if I hung out with the person often. 2-3 months might be considered way too early for some but I think for me within 3-4 months I would like to hear it from the other person because when it feels right you usually know.

I was like that in high school and the early part of college. I would meet a pretty girl, or even see them lol, and be so smitten I wouldnt stop thinking about them for weeks and imagine what it would be like to date them, live with them, marry them, etc.

I dont think it was really about quick gratification so much as it was about me being insecure and desperately wanting someone to make me feel better about myself.

I also know many guys who have felt like this besides myself so there are a lot more guys out there who feel like this then you may know about ladies because this is not something men want women to know about.

But I can totally relate to what this article is talking about, although I have grown out of feeling that way.

P.S. On an unrelated note.....I just saw your pic countrygrl....i guess i hadnt noticed earlier but I just now noticed it and you look really good with blond hair ;)

LOL Thank you. I've been getting that a lot. Even all my customers at work keep repeatedly commenting on it, which is bizarre because I work in a bank.

I just now reread this thread and it made me think even more about how I am definitely like this....I see a cute girl and see her maybe flash me a smile and I am smitten right away....it's ridiculous, I dont know why I do that but what really made me think of it is that it just happened to me again today. There is a girl in one of my morning classes I always find myself checking out during class(I need something to do to pass the time besides take endless notes) and today I saw her shooting me glances too and my mind started running off in all directions...I found myself not being able to think about anything but her for the next few hours...I wish I would stop being like that I mean she may not have even been looking at me and probably wasn't but I just get so hooked on some girls its annoying.
