I know a couple that was engaged on the second date and living together at a week. Married now for 12 years. I know a couple that was engaged at 3 weeks. Married now for 17 years. I was in love with my ex-husband on day one (if that), as was he. We had 20 years of marriage.
In fact, I know quite a few people who are still with their partners that 'just fell' - quickly.
I do not believe in any sort of "time" on this. Love does not know or recognize *time* - just as the head and the heart speak two very different languages. Therefore, I cannot place a vote.
Love is like trying to describe the taste of water. It's impossible to determine much about it at all.
Falling in love can be good - the best. What does not kill you only makes you stronger.
The earliest acceptable time to say "I love you" When do you think it is, in an average relationship?
Impossible to determine what the "average" time since there are billions of relationships.
It would have to vary:
First Date - acceptable for the horny teen male to say to the horny but confused teen female who wants it to be with someone "special". You can also say this on the first date if the woman is religious.
After 20 or so dates - acceptable because at this time, the woman is wondering if she's "wasting her time" with this guy. The male should say it to get her off his back. Saying it now will get her to do that one "thing" that she's been hesitant to do for the male sexually.
Never - If you find out the woman you're dating is one of those crazy stalking psychos (usually the divorced middle aged women with a cat or two) never tell her you love her. If you do, you'll never hear the end of "when should we get married?", "when will you ask me?", "Where is this going?", "My friends are all married". Tell this woman you love her, she'll follow you around wherever you go. Five minute drive to her house and you get there in 6 minutes, she'll be "Where were you?", "What took you so long?", "Let me see your cell phone to check your calls".
That being said, the older you get, the more you learn to distinguish between love and infatuation. I think it's possible to have instant chemistry, instant rapport with someone on the first date. But love? I think you need a deeper understanding of the person.

I swear last night was the first time I uttered those words with this type of feeling. Prior to that it was a response to her saying it or something said to ease bad feelings.
