How much time do you think you need to find out if you love someone?
I know some people's dating habits are different than others. Starting out, you might see a girl once a week, so 2 months is maybe 8-9 dates?
If you see each other 3 or more times in a week, over the course of 2 months, that's a lot of contact. Sleeping over, you get to know pretty quick.
Don't judge...
Getting engaged in under a year? I would always suspect that, but saying I love you or finding you love someone, I can see that... Been there done that
People are too concerned with particular words and phrases... let yourself go and stop censoring your mental dialog, if you are in a relationship and really resonate with each other why not say/state exactly how you feel/what you feel? If that thing doesn't resonate with the other person, so be it... perhaps that's a sign of you not being "too fast" but perhaps a sign of incompatibility?!
To the OP - figure out why you care so much about the words you hear other couples sharing with each other. They were meant for them not your ears and yet you seem burdened by them. When you figure out why you care so much about this topic, perhaps you have new insight regarding your feelings on love and happiness and where you are relationship wise today.
Sometimes you just know. I met my husband and about a month later he said "I love you". It took me a little longer but it also kinda hit me out of nowhere.
It could also be a kind of level of love. In the honeymoon period of any relationship, I think people tend to be a little over the top about things. Is it not real love? I think it is but maybe it's not long term love.
There are many definitions of love (as can be seen by many of the responses here)...and each definition is as unique as the person experiencing it.
The words 'I love you' hold a lot of meaning to me and I will not say those words unless I am actually in love. Everyone can date and act how they want but IMO saying I love yous cheapens its value when you don't really mean it. After dating for a few weeks or a month or two and saying 'I love you' it just sounds like cheap pillow talk.
It happens a lot with the younger kids. Also, I think people spend so much time "together" online that it can create a false sense of intimacy. I'm sure it's easy to get feelings confused.
