Forward To: All Women Falling in Love

If you look up the word love in the dictionary it is defined as an intense feeling of deep affection, which can translate into a deep romantic attachment to someone. The thing that good ol’ Webster cannot tell you is how this feeling is suppose to feel and when it is suppose to happen. For each individual person, the sentiment will be different of course. However what can be shared is the right moment to say it. If you follow the movies , you may notice the man is always the first to drop the heavy phrase ‘I love you.’Realistically, that is not always the case. If you got the itch, scratch it and if you feel the love tell him. Do not be afraid to say it before he does. But before you do, consider these variables.
 

Time
Love is a lot like a seed. When you find the right guy and develop a relationship the seed is planted in your heart. The more time invested with him and the more intimate you are, nuttiness get added allowing the seed to grow. But this all needs time to happen. If you have been with a man for one month, you have not developed love quite yet. Those feelings are butterflies from the excitement of someone new and shouldn’t be confused with one of the strongest emotions out there. Likewise, if you have been with a guy for over a year and have yet to feel those “falling sensations” he probably isn’t the one. “I think it depends on what time in the relationship you say it,” said Sarah Flynn, an international studies sophomore. “In a typical relationship where the two individuals have been together for a long time and feelings are mutual, it shouldn’t matter who says it first,”she said. 
 
Comfort
The levels of intimacy or the closeness we develop with our partner is also a consideration. If you both can talk openly,  this will be a good indicator if the time is right. “I feel that if a girl really feels like she loves a guy, she should not be afraid to say those words,” said Traci Long, a psychology junior. She added, “If your comfortable with the guy and you really do love him than you should say it.” If you trust him with your life, you can trust him with your heart. If you are falling in love, he probably is too.
 
Manner
Okay so this may not be as important but there are things you should avoid before confessing your love. Yes, technology has allowed us to do anything we want smoothly and quickly at any moment. However, texting the phrase ‘I love you’ during class is not the right method. Sharing emotions with your man should always be face to face. The tone and eye contact are vital, and are often lost with any other form of communication. “The place itself doesn’t matter where as long as you are honest about your feelings,” said Kari Shulby, a MIS/ business management junior.
