He said he loves me and I didn't say anything back I have said it before but he knew that it wasn't true because i said it out of habit so now we usually tease eachother and say I am in "like" with you or i "like" you to eachother, so last night when I said I really like you alot he said I "love" you and he ment it, but I didn't say I love you back..what would you do I you were him?  Was I wrong not to say it too?

you were right. you shouldnt lead him on if you dont feel the same way. the same thing happened to me with my boyfriend and he respected that those feelings hadnt developed for me. eventually i knew for sure that i love him, so when i told him he knew it was real and not a cop out. honesty and trust are the most important things in a realtionship, so never lie.

it is hard to leave someone, especially if u love them in return. but as he has cheated, it is likely he will do it again. saying "i love you" might be just his way of making you forget what happened. you should move on. you need to think of yourself, not him, because he obviously was not thinking of you when he cheated. this is just my opinion, so dont take it to heart. if you want to talk more contact me by going to my profile.

In my opinion he didn't mean it. Instead of apologizing it was a mistake, he said he didn't remember saying it. Some people don't have enough courage to admit. Forget is the easiest excuse which save him from explaining anything. You deserve someone better!

So your saying he loves you, but yet you have no feelings for him what so ever?\n\nWell then he just has to deal with it because it's not like you 2 were in a relationship. And if you were well then he still just has to deal with it and realize you don't like him.\n\nI've been in a similar situation except I was the one who liked someone and I am the one that got hurt and no one was moving to a different place. You just have to except it for what it is and move on. \n\nSo that is what the guy has to do move on and except the situation.\n\nDon't be so hard on yourself. You shouldn't have to feel bad just because someone likes you and you don't like them back.

I understand what you are saying to an extent. I like to say, "I love you," but I don't want it to be an automatic response, either. I don't want to say I love you, just because he said it. When I say it, I want to say it because I mean it and it doesn't have to be prompted!\n\nI don't know if that's your case or not.\n\nIf it is, just find ways of saying I love you first that are comfortable for you, such as writing notes, saying it when you wake up in the morning, or just before going to bed at night... Plan how you are going to say it, if that makes you comfortable (like the reasons you would give, if you want to say more than just I love you) or just make it spontaneous - say it before you lose the nerve!\n\nIf responding with "I love you, too," doesn't suit you - then what you need to do is find some way of saying "I love you" that makes you comfortable.\n\nBut, YES, it is important to say it, because it makes the other person feel good. If you really love him, isn't this important to you? Sure, I know what you're thinking: they should know it already, right?  Consider this: if your boyfriend thought you were beautiful, intelligent, wonderful, whatever nice thing you can think of - wouldn't it feel better to hear it than to just assume he thinks that because you are dating?\n\nLook, it's the *easiest* way in the world to make your partner happy, because it just requires you to say three little words... Think about making the effort for it.... It's not just important to him, but I think it's important to find a way of expressing your feelings, too. Maybe you could try keeping a private diary for a little while, so that you can get used to the idea of expressing your feelings? If you're just expressing it to a diary, then you can say whatever you wish - no judgments - and it's preparation for opening yourself up emotionally to a real person.\n\nI hope you find something that works for you!

you may have lead him on while you were testing the waters.\ntelling someone you need to chill out and not want to see them is two totally different things you should say what you mean and mean what you say.\nwhat you should do is have a serious disscussion telling him exactly how you feel.

i dont tell people i love them unless i mean it. one of my x bf told me he loved me and i didnt say it back because i knew i wasnt going to mean it or feel the same way.

once a guy ask me to talk dirty to him. I was thinking dirty why does he want me to talk dirty. So I said shit, dam, and hell.  I told my friend and she said no you didn't and I said yes I did. She told me that's not what he meant and she told me what he did mean.

I expressed attraction for a guy who didn't bother to respond.  It hurts, but I am not sorry I did it.  We had been very flirty so I know he was attracted but for whatever reason my asking him freaked him out.  Maybe he'll come around but probably not.  I wish it could have worked out, but it didn't.  I'm not sorry I asked though, at least I know and I'm not wondering.

I actually said the same thing about my husband.  Around me he is totally different then when he is with his friends.  I finally just asked my husband what the deal was.  He looked at my puzzled, and replied that of course he acts differently around me.  I couldn't understand it.  He told me that the way he acts with me is how he wants me to see him.  The way he loves me.  The way he acts with his friends is just being one of the guys.   I told him that he cusses, drinks when he's with his friends but not around me.  He said he respected me to much to act that way with me.  Its a guy thing.  I've learned to live with it.

He may be thinking just like you, worried about saying it and not hearing it back. Why not just end the doubt by saying what you feel? Odds are you'll find out you're both feeling the same way. If not, better to know now.

Does it really matter?  At this point, does it really matter if he wants to call you back or not?  Sounds like you two aren't exactly 'meant to be'.  Or.. I dunno'.  I could be wrong.  Maybe you're perfect for one another.  (Btw, that wasn't supposed to be an insult.  Well.. for the most part it wasn't..)  \nTo answer your question though:  Don't hold your breath.

I knew I loved my bf the first time I laid eyes on him.  But I didn't tell him exactly how I was feeling til around Christmas time which was 3 months into the relationship.  But I agree with my bf ... saying I love you to your bf / gf puts a different spin on the relationship.  Makes things more serious.  So I would advise that before you say those 3 words to him that you make sure that it is exactly how you are feeling.

Depends on how long you have been dating. If you have been together for a week...i think it's too early to say I love you. If you feel enough time has passed though, just say it to him, and he will either respond or not. That's how my girlfriend asked me.\n\ncheers,\nMax

Get him alone, get his number, give him yours, tell him you have something you would like to get off your chest.  More importantly though, make sure you're not confusing "like" with "love".  People throw this word around "love" without really knowing what it means.  He's had feelings for you before, does he have these feelings for you now?  Don't set yourself up to get disappointed or worse yet hurt.  If you've made up your mind, and it's truly coming from the heart then let him know.  Good luck!

Lexie( cute name)\n\nLexie u said that u  really LOVE him, but he LIKES u\n\nand that u he's an amazing, trustworthy all around  great guy( I can understand why u love if he's all that) but since u and he have been friends forever then u can say it in a friendly way 1st to see how he reacts. If he says it back in return, then theres ur opening.\n\nAsk him how he really feels about u after all these yrs ask him if he loves u in a friendly friendship way or in a girlfriend way? \n\nAnd base it on that.
