There is no "average" or "acceptable" time. The right time is different in every relationship.
If only people shared this same sentiment about when to have sex. It's seems with guys that it's like "sex better happen sooner than later or else!", but they don't feel any pressure to tell the woman they're dating that they love her within a certain timeframe. I've been in a relationship for over a year and we've never said the "L" word. If he's not ready to say it, I can understand that, but me not being ready for sex within the same timeframe is a "problem".
my current boyfriend didnt say "i love you" right away which is different from other guys i met before... eventhough the time i'm with him and feel to say the words, i avoid to say it first because i dont want him to run away or something... but after a few dates and communicating everyday he finally say the magic words which makes me feel happy becuse that time when he says it i feel that he really mean the words that he say and was really true with his feelings, not like other guys who say the words too soon just so you to make you feel loved and just to make you sleep with him too soon too...
"I feel very affectionate towards you" is the furthest I'm gonna go until the other one says it first, even as far as thinking it just to myself.
Seriously, I have a hard time knowing (feeling) the difference between A. "I love you" and B. "I feel very affectionate towards you". So when do you know that A vs just B is true, so that you can say it?
Now I KNOW I love my dog (but she's not gonna freak out about that)! I KNOW I love my cats (but they usually don't care one way or the other). I'm pretty sure I just feel affectionate towards my fish.

SAYING I LOVE YOU TO SOMEONE IS OK THE FIRST DATE BUT SAYING I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU NOW THAT MAY TAKE SOME TIME
