    Me and my boyfriend are both 22, met in the last year of university and been together nearly 6 months now. I have met his uni friends and he has met some of mine. We haven’t met each other’s families yet but mine know about him. We live 2 and half hours away from each other and skype/text regularly. We meet when we can, usually I initiate the discussions of meeting each other. When I told him I love him, he said he likes me a lot but he’s not quite ready to say those three words because they mean so much. Then we talked as normal. I just had to tell him I love him because I wanted him to know how I feel. But obviously him not saying it back has left me heartbroken so should I be worried?

    Also has anyone else been in/at a similar situation and how has it worked out?

    Sweetie,

    Stop telling him you love him until he starts saying it too. While I generally think men should say it first, in this case it is too late. You felt what you felt, you said what you said, but generally best to wait. If you say it, then you have to know there is a chance he does not feel the same way – and if you said it so he would say it back, it is a really bad vibe with that. Now there is a bad vibe because your feelings are hurt. But, he is good because he only says it if he means it, that is great.

    Should you be worried? I would be more worried that you have to initiate seeing him.

    But, stop saying it, it will feel like pressure to him. And if he says it, respond in kind so you are not giving more than he is….

    I was dating someone and he started saying – love you – at the end of calls. I would say love you too, but I never once initiated it, and I did not see it as a sign I could say whatever I wanted whenever. He said it and then said it again a week later, but I still never lead with it, because I could tell he was not there yet…. and he broke up with me soon thereafter. And while that hurt like crazy, I know I never lead and that made me feel better…

    Hi all,

    i have somehow the similar situation, i know a guy for 2 months now.
    at 1st we were just friends. we met couple of times, we held hands, we had emotional
    attraction, but after that, i didnt feel ok to hold my hand as nothing there yet.

    At the beginning he said we r friends, no relation.and i accepted that.
    But our calls and dates showing more, and there was intimacy.

    the strong feelings started like 2 weeks ago, we met we were so close, i coud smell his breath,, leaving me breathless.

    But he didnt say the friends thing, as almost promised he will not mention it again.

    Im in love with him.everytime am around him, its breathless…there is chemistry..
    Last time was a week ago, we went out for diner, romantic place.
    and we held hands, what happened: after we held hands i told him with a nice way: ys friends huh? he told me: friends bt u consider more. i laughed telling him: u the same? he told me: yes friends but there is more, u kno girl like this is not a relation this called relation deep. and smiled.
    we got closer, and i told him: u want that? he told me wt? i told him what we have?
    he said: yes i told him me too and he kissed my chick xD
    he asked me that day: you love me
    i was shy i ddint reply,i held his hand saying yes i care deep much my heart.
    but the next day i sent him: i love you
    but didnt reply me,not even mentioned it : (

    but he didnt change at all : )
    we talk everyday, after the outing, he was amazed and thanked me.
    we huged that day.
    i dont know iam sharing it here… mayb you have an opinion on wt to do?
    is it a good sign?

    Thank you : )
