So-Called Mistake #1: Saying “Those Three Words” Too Soon
The odds are, the other person is not going to say it back. They may eventually stammer, "Thanks?" or pretend it never happened. If they flee in terror, there is an upside: You will not have to waste a lot of time with somebody who is afraid of commitment. That kind of individual will be out of there, but they were always out of there, and you just saved yourself the heartache of trying to convince them otherwise. For the undecided but interested person, the one who likes you right now but is a bit overwhelmed at your revelation, things might be a little weird. But you have set an admirable precedent for the relationship, one that is exceptionally helpful on month three or year three: honesty above all else.

However, there may be certain sets of circumstances when "always" and "never" have a place, in which case the words can be used to drive an observation or concern of yours clearly home, which can prompt positive change.
