How long do you think you should be with a person before you say those magic words?

My 2 cents? Jus' say it Nix!
I believe that true love is not based on feelings, (though the 'warm-fuzzies' are nice!)
Rather, its a choice, much more cognative. Love offers itself to another, in spite of the statistical %age of possibility of "rejection".
I've know doubt that ya have a good sense of whether yer man's a good "risk" or not. Perhaps ya could think of it less, in terms of what ya might lose, (assumin' yer tryin' to be realistic with yerself, in spite of what I, an' any other might say), an' take courage, on the 'outside' chance that yer a winner either way when ya choose to love someone.
Most of all, be true to yerself! Don't be afraid of the words, " I love you"!
'Least, I don't regret any love I've given to former friends, nor even ex-wife who completely rejected my 'best' offering, (even though I too have suffered greatly)
