When is the right time to say ‘I LOVE YOU’?
Hello!
Welcome to another article on A Moment With Jennie. The topic above is a very interesting one and one that people seem to misunderstand every now and then. So, I’ll be sharing my thoughts through my words as usual and hope you help someone reading this article begin to do things in regards to this topic the right way.
So, when is the right time to say ‘I Love You’ while dating?
A lot of people don’t know that there is a time for everything even when it comes to relationships. There is a time to argue, fight, communicate, love and there is a time to say ‘I Love You’ to your partner when you both start dating. There is a time for everything! We need to know when to do what, learn to do things at the right time. Stop doing things because you see others doing it. Don’t do things because you feel obligated to. Don’t do things just with the aim to please. Just always do what feels right to you and that includes saying these beautiful words ‘I Love You’ to your partner.
Couples on relationships use these words ‘I Love You’ carelessly, freely, without purpose and therefore these words have become meaningless to some people. When it’s being used without caution, without feeling, without intentionality, the beauty in the words are lost. Don’t make the mistake of saying ‘I Love You’ just because you hear other people saying it to their partners.
You should ONLY tell your partner you love them when you feel love for them. When you feel it, know it, are sure of the feelings you have for your partner, only then should you tell them you love them. Be intentional with yourself, be intentional with your emotions and be intentional with your words. When yiu say anything, make sure you mean them. Don’t just say things because you feel that’s what what is expected of you. Think deep and hard before uttering your words. Your words should have value and meaning to the person receiving them. Your words of endearment should be cherished by the person hearing them. Your words of confession should be felt, appreciated and cherished by your partner.
When you use the words ‘I Love You’ in your relationship, let it be because you actually fo love him/her. Let it not be for any other reason. Y’all need to stop playing games with people’s emotions and in the long run, with yourself.
People go about saying ‘I LOVE YOU’ to just about anybody they date whether they love the person or not does not matter because they feel it is what the person wants to hear. Don’t do that. And if you have been doing that, STOP IT! IT IS WRONG IN SO MANY WAYS! JUST STOP IT! You are not being smart by ‘playing games’, you are hurting the other person. And if the case were to be reversed, how would you feel if someone else decides to play with your emotions like that. Jist stop please.
We need to start being intentional with the things we say and how we feel too. Love is not something you wake up one day and feel out of no where. Love takes time to build just as it takes time to fade. Love is a beautiful thing. Which is why it ought to be cherished above all else. You beed to sure, be certain of your feelings for this person. You need to know how you feel when you are with them, you need to know how you feel when you are away from them, you need to know how you feel when you think of them, you need to know how you feel when you talk about them with other people. You need to know how you feel when you’ve hurt them or when you are mad at them or when they hurt or when they are mad at you. These are things that should come into consideration when trying to figure out your feelings for your partner. What are the things about them that make you smile, laugh, happy? What fo you like most about them? What do you not like about them. How happy are you with their personal success and achievements? How proud are you of them? Are protective of them are you? How beautiful/handsome do they look to you at every Moment of the day? Are you happy when they are happy? Are you sad when they are sad? Do you want to fight their battles for them? Do you want to help them with their problems, challenges all the time? Do you feel the need to celebrate all their wins with them, both big and small? How do you feel when they seem to have failed at something? HOW EXACTLY DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS PERSON? Your answer would let you know whether or not you Love them and whether or not it is time to let them know that you love them.
And please note that, telling them you love them does not mean you should expect them to feel same way about you or you should expect yo hear the words back. It took you a lot of time to come to the realization that you actually love this person, give them time to also think of their feelings and come to the realization of whether or bot they love you. It took you a lot of courage to tell them that you love them, let them have the privilege of building up their own courage too. Let them have the joy and the freedom of telling you their feelings in their own time, in their own way.
In summary; A lot of young couples have yet to understand their feelings well enough to voice them out. A lot of couples are in a hurry to tell their partners they love when what they feel is actually lust and not love. A lot of couples are in a haste to say ‘I Love You’ when they themselves do not know yet if they actually do love this person or not. Let’s take our time, enjoying the company of our partners. Let’s first focus on the ‘honeymoon’ stage of the relationship and enjoy the beauty of it. Let’s take our time to see if we can in fact invest our emotions into this person first before voicing it out loud that we love them. Let us first accept that we are now in a relationship both mentally and emotionally before professing our love for them. Being in a haste to confess to them that we love may in fact ruin what could have been a good thing because a smart person will always doubt you if you just use words carelessly and that could destroy your relationship. Don’t be in a haste, don’t be in a hurry to love and be loved, take your time and let Love itself lead you. The absolute right time to say tou love your partner is when you are sure, certain of your feelings for them. And trust me, when you finally tell them that you love them, they will feel Every word deep down on their hearts.
