if he cares about u it means he will take care of u and show his love. if he just says stuff and does exactly the opposite i don't know lady, but isn't it pretty obvious answer what's going on?

It's probably a good sign if a guy has a hard time saying "I love you."  It could mean that he puts a lot of importance in those words.  To me, saying that means that I'm starting to permanently commit myself.  Plus, words are kind of cheap, and sometimes a simple "I love you" doesn't feel like it says it all.

no. it means exactly what he said. he was thinking of you. he may be on his way to loving you, but yeah just dont worry about it. sounds like you've got him wrapped around your finger, dear.

well Im not a guy---but this is exacly what it means--and this is from experience.\nWhen a guy says that--they are basically not interested anymore--either they have meet someone else or is totally loosing interest in you and wants to know if after the space is given to find out if he cares for you or is just "used" to you.\nabout 4 years ago my boyfriend told me the same thing--I was really confused---so I decided to give him what he was asking for--we both agreed we would give eachother 2 months-----and he dated someone else--but after like 3 weeks he was callign me and I realized how much I had missed him too!  WE got back together and have been happy since--so I think a little of space is good in a relationship.

basically he's just not that into you.  if a guy loves you he will make the time and find a way to make sure you feel loved so you don't leave him.  you need to just cut your losses and get out of the relationship or it will suck you dry and make you bitter...  you should read "he's just not that into you"  it's a eal eye opener.

If you aren't comfortable with it then turn your response into something humorous.  Say something like, "Yeah, I love me too".  I can't say there is any particular "proper" response, because some people do fall in love very quickly, while others don't.  If humor doesn't work, simply let her know that you don't know her well enough to feel that way towards her.  Unfortunately, there will be negative responses, but it's better than getting stuck in a situation you really don't want to be in.  Most of the time we want a guy to care as much about us as we do about him, and a lot of women don't realize that a guy is showing us he cares when he's honest and doesn't say "I love you" just because he feels like he should.

It means to go through the motions of being with a person.  In fact, even enjoy the time spent together, however do not allow yourself to get emotionally close to that individual.

You need to stay as far away from him as possible...okay when a guy says he loves you but hes not in love with you...its like a brother saying they love you,...its not going anywhere...you going back to each other means that he proably doesnt have anything better to do...and your just love struck and yall two are aech others comfort zones...you really need to let him go...as hard as it may be.....goodluck sweetie...remember time heals everything

This just means that you are not deeply in love with this person. It will come. Once you get to know him better you will feel different. Whether your not attracted to him or you just cant be yourself around him. I've expierenced this situation and know exactly what to do. Follow my advice and you'll get somewhere in life.

when a man says that, it usually means that he has stuff on his mind at the moment, and needs space. other times the guy just doesn't want to be in a relationship or something, this usually happens when a tragic event happened

No. it means he likes me not you. But do me a favor and tell him I'm not gay, it will save us both some embarassment.

in a relationship, a guy should make his feelings clear. if he doesn't say that he loves her, either he doesn't love her or he is afraid of getting emotionally attached or commitment. simple sex without love is just that. if he can't say it, she should move on to somebody who is more mature and can honestly and openly show their emotions. hope the best.

"you don't love a girl because she's beautiful, She's beautiful because you love her"

No, a guy like that isn't in love with you, he thinks of you instead as his possession.  If someone loves you then they trust you.  Tell him to go find a new possession and find yourself a man who will love you and trust you.

well you know his side, and without putting himself out there again to get crushed by you, he is trying to hint to you that he still loves you, but he doesn't understand you!

I think it is safe to say that you are not IN love with her. It sounds like you love her but more as a friend rather than a girlfriend. Be honest with her now because she needs to know how you feel. Things will be ok.
