There is nothing wrong with you telling him you love him, there is nothing in writing stating you need him to tell you first.

Well the whole thing about that depends on whether or not he wants you to tell him that you love him and whether or not he likes romantic... If he wants you to tell him... I think the best way would be to be a bit kissy with him and cuddly and stuff and whisper it into his ear that way it's not embarassing or anything of the sort. \n\nBut if he doesnt want to know... \n\nDO NOT TELL HIM BECAUSE IT WILL ONLY SCARE HIM OR MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE A FOOL!

Well I hate to say it but if he truly loved you he would have crossed all barriers to make it work . You would be setting yourself up for all kinds of hurt if you let him sweettalk you into something you know in  your heart is wrong . Why do that to yourself and prolong the agony ? You have already made your feelings known now the ball is in his court ! How does the old saying go "If you love something set it free and if it comes back to you its yours and if it dont it never was" Just DO IT ! It could save you alot of heartache on down the road .

You could start by saying, you know was thinking about how to accurately evaluate my feelings for you and I think I could love you.....If you were to evaluate your feelings how would you say you feel about me?....\n\nDon't be surprised to hear I don't know....Means he's probably scared to say he loves you.....If that occurs, don't be disappointed continue to try to convince him that he loves you.\n\nGood luck

If he already tells you he loves you, you should be thankful. It takes a lot for men to admit to their feelings and just because they don't say them as much as we would like, doesn't mean they don't feel them. As long as he's showing you he loves you, you are good! And I can totally understand how you feel about wanting to spend more time together, but you just have to make the best of the time you do have together until you reach a point where things are better.

hey you need to tell him how you feel.  maybe give hima  kiss or something.  if you were ment to be he would say it right back.  im sure he doesnt want to leave you just as much as you dont want him to leave. hope this helps.

Saying I love you isnt as powerful as showing it. If he is still treating you the same then you have nothing to worry about. One of the important things in a relationship is trust, if you dont have that then the relationship is doomed to end. Either you trust him and stay with him, or you dont and you move on.

When you truly love someone, I think it is worth the risk that they may not say it back to you. \n\nIt might make you more comfortable if you put that out there by telling him that you are not expecting him to say it back to you, but that you just wanted him to know how you feel. I told my boyfriend this 7 months before he said it to me. I made sure that he knew that I wanted him to say it in his own time and not feel that he had to say it back, or be uncomfortable if he was not at the same level. Then, just be patient. When he does tell you, you will know that it is truly meant from the heart. \n\nAnd who knows? He just may be waiting to know how you feel because he is just as shy as you!\n\nGood luck!

well if you dont love him then dont say it...and certinly dont ask him to repeat himself when he does say it if you dont hear him...you cant help who you love lol or in your case dont love but that doesnt mean that you dont like him and like being with him...so until you dont want to be with him anymore stay with him maybe your strong feelings for him will turn into love...and if he does love you and he does say it to you loud enough for you to hear him...then thats when you need to talk to him...dont say it if you dont mean it....i dont think many people know how strong that word really is and how much it means.....tell him the feelings that you do have for him...let him know that their strong and you really care for him....and eventually as the relationship goes on you will love him...you really need to talk about that if the situation arises....i wish you the best

I'd tell him. He knows I still love him and we like teasing each other, but it's different with each couple.

You should ask him and see what he says. If you are mature enough to feel real love then you should also be mature enough to talk about it with the guy you have feelings for. You need to clarify how he feels...if he shares your feelings, great...if not, then you need to move on.

Always. But say it when you REALLY mean it. Like if your doing something together... like watching a movie and cuddling. Its good to say it then. You don't say 'I Love you' just when your having sex or making out. Say it when your doing something sweet together :)

Sorry to say, but u shouldn't try to get him to say it...he'll say it when he's ready....Don't you want him to actually mean it when he says it??? If he really feels that way, then sometimes you just know!!!! Be patient...and it might happen when you least expect it...What a nice surprise!!!!

If this guy TRULY loves you then he would understand if you were to tell him that you would like to take it slow.  Make sure that he IS the one before you walk down the isle with him.  True love is ALWAYS worth working for and waiting for.  Just be sure how you feel and the rest will fall into place!!  Good luck and I hope it works out for ya!

accept his difficulty...some people just cant express their love in words..\ni myself am brought up in a loving family, but we have never said 'i love u' verbally...only written and actions that show we love\nand today i find it hard expressing myself in person unless im really really really close to the person...a chance to open up more\ndont blame him if u dont hear what u want to hear\njust accept him and allow him space to learn how to express himself froom u. thats the beaty of love...u grow to express in each other

Hey Jack, expressing love infront of somebody whom you love very much is not at all hard....just go....take long breath...and tell her that, " I LOVE YOU". that's it.....best luck!!!

NEVER tell a man that you love him first! Not only can it scare him away but it shows weakness on your part! Let him say it first, it will mean so much more when he does. Otherwise if you say it and he says it back how will you know he truly meant it!
