is it really love?  thats the first thing you have to ask yourself  and the next thing is if he really wants to be with you it will happening dont make a fuss over him . he will play you. if he dont respond then youre most likely better off without him. after all you have your whole life ahead of you. there will be plenty of guys

I think if you truly feel that you love this guy, you would wait until he gives you a sign that he feels the same way.  If he is not in the same page as you are, then telling him how you feel about him might scare him away.  Or worse, he might not feel the same about you, yet.  Be patient, you will feel it when it's right.  \nBest wishes,

If you're really not sure of what you feel for him, then just try to entertain him about his feelings for you... Never tell a person you love him/her if you're not sure because it really hurts in their part when you don't show it to them... Try to think first before making any moves and be sure of everything if you're talking about true commitment... You can also try telling him about your feelings that at this moment, you're still not sure what you feel, if he's matured enough, he will understand you, and if he really loves you, he will wait for your decision without lessening his feelings for you... Also use the situation right now to test if what he feels for you is true...

He may still love you, yes.  But what exactly is keeping him from being in a relationship with you?  \n\nI would not count on this individual to commit to you.  This guy sounds like he may be confused or unsure.  And he may take a long time making up his mind.  If his indecision is causing you heartache, then you need to do what is going to preserve your sanity.  You need to do what is good for you.  This may mean moving on.  This may mean not waiting around for him.\n\nI'm sorry if this sounds harsh.  It sounds like you still have feelings for him.  I don't know your exact circumstances.  However, I do know what it is like to be jerked around by a guy who couldn't decide if I was "the one."  It's not fun, and it's not worth your time.  \n\nIf you are really set on this guy, you may have to wait for a long time for him to come to his senses.  Ask yourself, honestly, is he worth it?\n\nGood luck.

its quite tough given the circumstances but ask yourself if you're willing enough to sacrifice either the relationship or your future.Although i'd have to agree with the guy above me that if the person truly loves you, he doesnt have to hinder your chance for a better future. You dont have to gauge your feelings toward the person nor that you have to turn your back from opportunities just to make the relationship work.talk about the situation with your guy and ask him how we feels about it and vice versa. talking might help settle this issue although at your end, its still better that you decide mainly for yourself.

if u think only at him all the day, if you want to see him all day, if you are nervous when you are with him, and if you'd like to be with him then you certanly love him.another answer i don't know love is different from a person to another, so breath hard and think at him then you'll know if you love him or not.......

I wouldn't call it love yet.  If you were truly in love, you wouldn't have to ask.  If he is with someone else, then wait for it to end before you make a move.  But, as a warning, if he is with someone else and still looking at you, he may not be the kind of guy you want to hang your hopes on....

Listen very carefully...\n\nShow him what you just asked us...\n\nAnd then ask him what he would like...\n\nBut I have a pretty good feeling he already knows how much you love him and doesn't need a reminder...

Dear Penny,\nBefore asking any questions, or even analysing the myriad of eye movements, hand gestures and pupil dilating which probably indicate commitment, think what YOU want from this relationship. \n\nThe previous respondent talked about friends with benefits, but in this instance I have the feeling it applies to you also. \n\nSo: how do you feel about him? Honestly? Do YOU want to commit? If the answer is yes, be brave, be honest, and let him know you're ready to take this relationship to the next level.\n\nGood luck!

I have been successful, but I've waited until I felt really right.  There is a differnce between LOVE and INFATUATION.  You might have said "I love you" to a guy, when really you were just still in the infatuation stage.  If you have been with your current boyfriend for almost 2 years, I think it is time for you to say it.  He might just be waiting for you to say it first.  Maybe he feels the same way as you do about saying I love you.  Either say it, or actually TALK to him about it.  Be like "I really feel like I love you, but I don't want to say it and make you uncomfortable.  How do you feel about it?"  Hope this works!

I am in love, with a man that i broke up with 5 years ago, he started seeing someone else 4 months after however we were still sort of seeing each other casualling for 3 years.\n\nEverytime we speak, the spark is still there, he is the person i compare everyone to, he will always be my number one and he knows it. He says the same thing about me.\n\nOnly time will tell.

It sounds like he's committed to you so what's the hold up.  What do you want out of the relationship?  If you really love him tell him.  If you don't let him go. The relationship won't go anywhere if you hold it back.  Tell him how you feel or eventually you will lose him.

I would have to say stay with him, and try to make things work. Of course, if you loved him like you say you do, you wouldn't have to ask this question. You know he won't be gone forever. He'll be back. True love knows no boundaries. No distance should keep you from staying with him. Especially since the move is only temporary.

look,first you call him (if you still have his number), you should tell him how you feel about him, and if he feels the same way about you, then you talk and see if you 2 were meant to be together ^_^

Love is a feeling.  What I really mean by that is, it is something that comes from the heart.  It is hard to reason out objectively what makes you want someone, love someone.  So, as a first step try and avoid "reasoning" it out and second guessing yourself.  No one else can judge it better than you can - because you and only you can listen to your heart.\n\nPlease ask yourself a few things such as how patient he is, whether or not he is willing to take the time, whether or not he is willing to give you that time and space, if there are other intellectual or non-emotional reasons for this connection, etc.  We always put our best foot forward in the beginning of any relationship.  And a very common issue people deal with later on is "he or she is totally different now - I completely don't see that same person any more".\n\nIt's almost impossible to explain when or why you've fallen in love with someone.  But it is as easy to recognize it :-)  Just follow your heart and go for it.  Yet, be aware that not every relationship ends up successful.  If you are conscious and prepared for something to naturally/organically go wrong, at least you won't fall as hard if you ever end-up going wrong.\n\nGood luck.
