A short monologue (YouTube video by Anwar White) discussing when it is appropriate to say 'I love you.' The speaker notes cultural differences (e.g., Nigerians often say "I love you" very early), typical timing in exclusive relationships (often between months four and nine), faster timelines for older adults (may occur within the first month or two at 45+), and cautions that early declarations outside exclusivity may be manipulation to lower guards; the speaker advises setting boundaries.

Around three women into relationships a week. I love you comes oftentimes between months four and nine in an exclusive, committed relationship.
Now, if you are, let's say 45, 50 plus, things go probably twice the speed so that it might come within the first month or two of a relationship. But if he's saying I love you and you aren't in an exclusive relationship.
This game, baby.
How can he love something that he doesn't even know the majority of.
You know? Like in high school, there was always that girl that said she just loved everything. Oh, my God, I love it. Oh, my God, I so love it. I'm so into it. She's just into everything.
When guys do that.
I need you to understand that he is trying to soften you up.
He is trying to play a role like we were talking about before. Play a fantasy so that your guard will be lowered.
