Love You
According to a recent survey, the average person takes about three months to tell their significant other “I love you” for the first time. But let’s be real; some of us are just way too scared to say it and end up waiting much longer. It’s a pretty big turning point in a relationship, after all!
On the flip side, some can’t keep it in and blurt it out after only a few dates. And then there are the truly brave souls who manage to sneak it into a text message. But however and whenever you choose to say it, ensure you’re genuine with your message. After all, no one wants to end up like the person in this story!
