Massachusetts Residents in Relationships Say ‘I Love You’ 120 Days In
How long does it roughly take for you to say ‘I love you‘ in a relationship? I’ve been in mine for so long I couldn’t even begin to guess but I have asked it on the radio a few times in my radio-guy-life and the answers are always surprising. I’ve had people who don’t and won’t say it for 5 full years. I’ve actually had someone call in and tell me that they said it in 5 minutes! In case you were wondering, neither were still with their significant others when they called in.
I think Massachusetts has a pretty fair average as far as how long we wait to say those 3 knee-weakening words. OnlineCasinos.com did the legwork to find out when people generally say ‘I love you‘ for the first time in a relationship and compared that average between states. To be clear, Online Casinos surveyed 3,000 Americans on how long it takes them to fall in love. The age range was 18 and older with all participants living in the United States. Online Casino’s survey was conducted in January 2024.
Massachusetts residents say ‘I love you‘ 4 months into a relationship on average. 4 months seems like an appropriate amount of time to first get to know them over a few dates, then develop a routine together, and start really caring for one another. But if you disagree and you think 4 months is way to long to wait to hear and dispense those sweet, sweet words maybe you should consider moving to Hawaii, or West Virginia, or even Iowa. Those are the 3 states where people say I love you the quickest – just 2 months is the average. If hearing people say ‘I love you’ to you is just the pits to you, there’s always South Dakota. They don’t get all up in their feels too much in South Dakota and they take their time springing “I love you’ on you. The average time it takes to say it there is 9 months.

The Peach state boasts Atlanta as top 10 for FUN. If you research it, Atlanta has a lot to offer if you’re single and looking for your future partner, or a current one.
59! Boston!

What, Boston is NUMBER 59? Well we rank #47 in dating opportunities, #18 in FUN, and #181 for “economics.” Yes, we know, it’s very expensive to have fun here, never mind dating. How many $300 dinners can we afford, as we are trying out dating?
Maybe we’ll do better when Wallethub does a survey called, “Best City to Be Married.” But don’t lose hope, my son who lives in the Seaport, met his girlfriend on a dating app here and they are doing quite well, going on two years!
