I'm addition to all the comments you've already gotten, this is highly dependant on where you live. The cultural differences on how common or even expected an "I love you" is varies wildly. It's also a very personal decision that quite honestly it's hard to ask for advice about.
That being said, I'd always prefer to hold it back initially, even if that's how you (think you) feel. Months (multiple) is a good measure to start of with. Also the reception can be very different depending on the perceived implications. Some people literally run when they hear it, some run when they don't hear it, which is why this is such a personal judgement call. Not just depending on you but also your (potential) partner.
