If he hasn't told you I love you by now I would be wondering if this relationship is really boyfreind and girlfriend. He may not be looking for love right now. Since this has become an issue for you I would say this is going to be a dealbreaker. He will surprise you I am sure with his answer.

First, when you ask questions like this and you want some sincere advice or opinions, you need to be more specific. Like how long you've been together for instance. When you say boyfriend, you could have been together for a week or two when he said it, or it could have been years. That really helps when you're asking someone a question that you want help with.\n\nPutting the lecture aside, this is my opinion when it comes to saying "I Love You" to someone. First, never say I love you to anyone unless you really mean it. People seem to let this word come out of their mouths as if they were saying, gee, what a nice day. Other guys have hurt you? Hmm, well, don't feel like you're the only one that's been hurt. We've all gone through this, but we move on. Obviously, he hasn't made you feel comfortable enough for you to not worry about being hurt, as you have in the past, or you have not opened up enough to accept his love for you. You say you're falling for him, but you keep the walls up. That's never a good thing in a relationship. If you feel you need to protect yourself, then you're not ready for a serious relationship. When the time is right, you will know and feel comfortable about saying it. Until then, don't say it, unless you mean it. It does no one any good to hear those words when the heart isn't behind hit. Good luck and may you some day, find a way to break the walls down and enjoy a happy and healthy, loving relationship with someone who makes you feel loved.

hey hun... i think saying i love you should be said when the person really loves u. ur friend gt her guy to say it in  6 weeeks.. i am sure he has said it loads of times after that.. but when ur boyfriend actually says it to u it would mean a whole lot more than it wld mean whenhe says it when u want him to. you need to do anything to make him say it. you just wait till hez comfortable enuf to say it. at least he is not mis-using the word love.

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!

Tell HIM/HER I love you.

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!

Why not sit down and talk with them.....express your feelings honestly, and ask how they feel about you.  But don't be in a hurry to end a relationship just because your love doesn't or is unable to say they love you back right at that moment.  Sometimes love buds and develops in time.  That is always a possibility.  Expressing your feeling honestly frequently sets the ball in motion also. What you actually feel and how you come across can be mis-interpeted.  You expression and conversation may be the 1st time your love realized that you "actually" love him/her.  Best of luck to you.   "Love is a many splendid thing"

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.

No words are used in 'my' language:)\nYou say it with your eyes and with your entire being.\nIn fact you are understood before you even say it.\nIts strange how the same thing makes our eyes sparkle with different hues as we express the same feelings in different situations. To a kid and to a parent and to a friend, we all say ' i love you' and yet they all are so different. What a marvelous thing human being is.

If she talks to you, would willingly do things for you whenever you ask.\nif she flirts with you and genuinely enjoy your company and your sense of humor no matter what it is.\nThen she has strong feeling for you.\nI would not define it as love yet, but very strong feelings.\nTime will tell, because you will never truly know until she says it out loud.

How do I say "I love you."\n\nFirst.... before I go into that I will make a correction. The guy that said "study English first" ... I have this too say. "I did not mean too give you a thumbs up. I appologize for sending you mixed signals."\n\nNext... the QUESTION!\n\nWhen you love somebody how do you say too that perosn "I love you"?\n\nThat is TRUELY a hard question too answer. Too confess something like that is a very brave thing too do. You are completely vulnerable and alone in the world when it happens.\n\nI do feel for your situation.\n\nThe way I aproach it is too view that moment as the last moment I have on earth. Face the person. Gently hold thier face in your hands. And say. "This may be hard for you too accept. I understand if it's unrecipricated. I just need you too know this simple fact. I love you."\n\nAnd then you wait for the hammer too fall.\n\nI wish it could be easier. I wish there wasn't so much at risk.... but this is the nature of love.

Three little words - "I love you"

it all depends on your relationship with your lady. If u're both comfortable being together, not going to split up and whatever happens, you'll give her a helping hand, then u can tell her you love her. But remember: too soon and too late - vicious. U'll feel that time has come to reveal ur feelings.
