Hi, I'm Donna Barnes, I'm a life and relationship coach, an owner of NY Dating Coach in New
York City. In this clip we'll talk about when is the right time to say I love you in a new
relationship. Well it's always a sticky question because nobody wants to be the one to say
it first. But if you're genuinely feeling those feelings and you think that the other
person is responding and feeling the same thing too it's okay to say it whenever you
feel it, unless it's in the first week or two of a relationship, you really can't fall
in love that quick, that's more lust and attraction, and that's where a relationship starts from
with all that chemistry, but when you really start to have deeper feelings is when true
love is involved. So if you think you love them in the first week or so, you might be
falling in love with them, but you don't love them first, and if you say it at that point
you're going to scare them away. If you're feeling like you're starting to fall in love
and you really want to say it but you're not sure if you should, a little way to start
it say, you know I feel like I'm falling in love with you, instead of just saying, I love
you, is a gentler way to ease into that, and maybe the other person will reciprocate and
come back with it. This is Donna Barnes, life and dating coach in New York City.
