If it happens to early, you will send him running for the hills. Wait for awhile.
This depends on the culture. I don't think I've ever asked an American guy this at all because the relationship has just naturally progressed, but with most foreign guys I've dated, this has come up.
Usually, with a foreign guy we'll both speak the terms of the relationship, like, "okay! now we're dating!".
With my current relationship (he's from the Caribbeans), he actually asked me where we were going in terms of our relationship and was the first to say I love you. Bot initially were a shock, but I didn't love it any less and it didn't send me running for the hills.
I never felt the need to have the talk with anyone, things progressed naturally or they didn't and we both knew which way things were going.
I guess I've never been hung up on labels and I just let thing progress or not.
I figured out early on if he calls and keeps calling or coming over he is interested and if he doesn't call or keep calling he isn't interested.
Either way was fine with me because I have always been comfortable in or out of a relationship because it never was a real priority.
^^^ I choose to be in a relationship because I want to be a priority to him, and I want him to be a priority in my life. There's no point in a relationship otherwise, IMHO.
It's definitely something that shifts as you grow up/age, for most people. By a certain point, most people are experienced and knowledgeable and know themselves well enough to be very upfront about what they are looking for, and don't care to waste time with people who aren't on the same page, so they're not as cagey about laying expectations out.
