Thaaaaaat depends on who you are and how your relationship is. If somebody told me they loved me after three weeks of dating, I would be creeped out.

Time probably doesn't matter quite as much as how developed the relationship is.

I tell my girlfriend that I love her nearly every day. I've been doing this ever since I started going out with her. It's not something to be ashamed of -- I like to be as truthful as possible to her.
I mean, I tell my friends I love them. Why should it be any different when a friendship becomes a relationship?

I don't think the word love is really misused as much as the more romantic of us feel it is. After all, what is love? Nobody really knows. It's kind of like good and evil, it's totally subjective depending on your morals. Love is different to everyone depending on who they are and how they feel. So really saying that someone is misusing the world just means they're not using it in the same context as you would. It doesn't mean that they don't believe that this is what love is, and that love is what they feel. It might seem juvenile and meaningless to the rest of us but to them it is what it is.
That being said, it's always possible that people don't really believe they love the person that they're saying 'I love you' to, but they feel they should say it because of pressure or whatever. I guess in that way it can be misused. Then again, who really cares if other people are misusing it, just so long as you're secure in your own use of the word? (as long as their not doing it to you, I guess =P)
Anyway, I think the best time to say it is when you feel it. That's kinda my starting point anyway, but of course sometimes there are other factors. Like, with my current boyfriend, I really wanted to say I loved him after we'd been together for like 3 weeks (I'd known him for about 7). Because I really really felt I did love him, and I still do feel like I loved him then (and still do now, ofc). But I didn't want to say it because it was so soon and I didn't want him to get freaked out and/or not say it back. So I waited till I felt like he was ready and when I told him, he said it back, and afterwards he said he was literally just about to say it to me. It was awesome ^_^

It is all up to the person telling the other person.
One can tell them 4 days after you met them...
or one can tell after 2 years in a friendship.
It is all up to the boldness of the person, and the degree of fondness toward the significant other...

no, when you feel it, you should tell them emedilly. but if you had just started dating, it would be a good idea to wait a little.

Whenever you know you feel it. When you feel like you wouldn't mind this person's company for the rest of your life.
