I've been dating my boyfriend for 6 months.We feel very deeply for each other, but I've let myself fall a bit deeper than he has for me. He says "I care for you" and "I want to be with you for a long, long time". Is it normal he hasn't said "I love you"? We've also been intimate for 6 months and have never had a fight. I am 19 and he is 23.
well im like the opposite so i have no idea, i love eveyone in like 3 secs
I think it's nice that he doesn't use the L-word.
"I love you" has kind of lost it's meaning, I think. The phrase has been misused so many times, that there's hardly anything romantic about it. People say it to get sex, when they're sorry for something, when they're needy,...
If he says that he loves you after one month, then wouldn't those words be meaningless? It's better like this. He's saving the phrase until he's absolutely sure he wants you to be a part of his life. You're worse off with a guy who says it too soon, since those types of people say it to EVERY girl they date.
Give it time. I think your boyfriend is way more romantic than most people.
Just because he hasn't said it doesn't mean he doesn't feel it. Saying "I love you" is a bell that can't be "un-rung", so it isn't a bad thing that he's careful about saying it. It's normal, and like the other commenter said: don't push too hard for it. I think it'll come :)
Trust me, you don't want him admitting something he doesn't feel! You'll be hurt tremendously in the end because you tried to force his emotions out. Just let the relationship progress on it's own. You're still young and the relationship is still new, take your time and have fun!
What kind of crap is this? Grow up.
This is my advice...Become an adult before you post rubbish like this.
Honestly, 6 months of dating and not even an "I love you" from him? I don't think this is happening.
Well I couldn't tell you before I even got my first kiss from my gf I told her I loved her I told her that before I even dated her
The worst thing you can do is push. This is merely coming from a guys perspective (21). In the past I have had this a lot and its really not good. If he likes you the same then just give him time. If he is at a point where he isn't sure, then by pushing you are creating a situation that feels like YES/NO, Decide NOW... Love isn't like that, it is complicated as Fck. The whole "he hasn't said I love you" is a tough one. Depends what it means to him? Some guys chuck it out all the time where others reserve it for when they really, honestly mean it. If this is the case and he says it, you could have a very strong relationship. I think its a bit worrying if someone says it too fast because its like it hasn't been considered properly. Hope this make sense.
