How long should you wait before you tell someone you love them?
DEAR DEIDRE: HOW soon is too soon to tell someone you love them?
I’ve been dating my boyfriend for six months – it’s my first serious relationship – and I’ve fallen for him hard.
I’m 17 and he’s 19.
When we’re together, everything feels so natural, and I get this warm glow inside.

I can feel the words “I love you” on the tip of my tongue, but I’m terrified that if I say them, he might be scared off.
It’s very possible he feels the same and is also too nervous to say those three little words.
