When we meet a man and fall in love with him all we really want to do is ensure he knows exactly how we feel.
Most of us don't put a lot of thought into saying those three words, but if they're ill timed they can actually derail the entire relationship.
If you said "I love you" too soon and he's now less interested, is there any way to remedy this? There is.
There are a few simple things you can do that will help get the relationship back on track.
Since you can't turn back time and undo what you've done you have to have a plan to go forward.
It's likely that you two haven't spoken about your proclamation of love since it happened and that's actually a good thing.
It may feel awkward if you don't bring it up but trying to explain it could result in you hurting his feelings or saying something else that will make him even more uncomfortable.
Instead, you should try and focus on just enjoying your time with him.
When a woman says "I love you" before a man is ready to do the same, he'll sometimes feel pressured to do it.
He may be holding his breath waiting for you to say it again.
This can cause him a lot of anxiety and it may even lead to him canceling plans with you or avoiding your calls.
That's why it's so important that you shift the dynamic between you two, quickly.
You need to start treating him more as a casual date or friend than someone you've fallen madly in love with.
You can accomplish this by giving him some space.
Don't try and monopolize all his time.
Let him set the pace.
If he doesn't want to hang out, don't groan about it.
Instead go out with friends and have fun.
Show him that you're not waiting with baited breath for him to tell you he loves you too.
If he feels the pressure is off he'll be much more inclined to feel the urge to share his feelings too.
