I think 4 months is way too early to say "I love you". And I think he should say it first, when the time comes.
I think saying "I love you" should be reserved for when you want to marry the person or when the other person wants to marry you. Otherwise, I feel it shouldn't be said.
(or if not marriage, then a long-term committed relationship is desired)
I think saying "I love you" these days is said way too casually and it has been ruined by people rampantly shortening it to just "love you" at the end of so many cellphone conversations and to people who are barely casual acquaintances.
How did you arrive at this? Do you think it is applicable just to this specific situation or is it a truism that if a man says "I love you" his partner will lose respect for him?

Man, I really would hate to think that is true.
In what world is it a bad thing to tell someone you love them? Who wouldn't want to be loved??
I don't see "I love you" as a hook, but as an invitation. They're just telling you how they feel about you. You aren't required to reciprocate, but man is it incredible if you do.
It really pisses me off when people try to reduce what should be the best and most enjoyable human feelings down to nothing more than machinations.
You have only known him for four months, which is not long enough to really know each other. The relationship appears to be good right now, so enjoy it without the anxiety of knowing whether he loves you. It takes a while for the true person to surface, the good and the bad, for all of us.
He will tell you when/if he loves you or is in love with you. It could be soon, later, or never. Why is it important that you want to know how he feels after only 4 months?
Meh, I prefer a man who isn't cowed by "the world."
Most of the people on this sub forum are not trying to date you they are trying to find a relationship in our modern culture. To totally ignore what it has become is not very wise in my opinion.
