Why do men find it hard to say i love you?

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.

Personally, I am very cautious and only say it when I mean it, because somehow it does scare most men.  In my opinion (just my opinion), some women are insecure and feel if they say that, it will show that they are giving affection to only YOU, that one special man.  Just like men, women aren't always honest and sometimes say what they think the man may want to hear or that it will benefit them in some way.

Most guys try and hide thier feelings from someone they love because they don't want to feel/ make them selves look vulnerable. They are afraid of rejection just like some of us. Sometimes they are just playing hard to get and want to make you work for it. That and the whole "boys don't cry" thing that has been ingrained by society. Society had screwed up many men...

some people show love in different ways. alot of men and women dont express it the way others would like. and there is a difference in love and "being in love". ask this person if they are "in love" with you. just because they dont seem sincere doesnt mean they arent. like i stated before some people just dont know how to show feelings or they do it in different ways we dont understand. if you have serious doubts about how this person feels then ask.

2 things.. one - may be he loves you but is afraid of commitment... two - may be he doesn't love you at all and it was just a slip of the tongue the first time he said it. Observe his actions and how he treats you. You'll get hints from there.

Tell him that you're not ready to say it and put that sort of label on your feelings. But that you feel for him. That you care about him. When my man first told me, I din't say it back. I told him That I feel for him. It made me really nervous. I told him never to say it unless he means it, because I would never say anything empty.

Guys (like girls) like to know that they are number one in there significant others lives.  Now that can be through a lot of ways talking, suprising him, loving him, but most guys are very physical creatures so th eon ething that always works is sex.  Love on the othr hand is something guys are not really good at expressing however all guys do love at some point and have even loved before they were able to express.  Most guys do little things you just gotta know when your guy does something 4 u he wouldn't do for someone else he is saying he loves you?

Maybe he really loves you, and is afraid that he will upset you, so he takes his time coming up with the right words to explain how he is feeling. (I do that when I am in love) Maybe he even gets a little embarassed of his emotions sometimes, most of us are raised not to show what we are feeling.

Those 3 words can be important and once you get used to hearing them, you're used to hearing them. However, men can get comfortable and confident that you KNOW it, so they don't have to SAY it.\n\nThat part is true.\n\nI think he still loves you and I think you're reading too much into it with him not saying it. He may have a lot on his mind right now and not worried about it because you should know it.\n\nYou say nothing else in the relationship has changed. Those words shouldn't mean so much to you that the absence of them makes you question the man. If everything else is the same, so is his love.\n\nCut him some slack. Wait a week. If he's still not saying them, just let him know you miss the words. A simple, "Baby, I miss hearing you say, 'I love you.'" will probably do the trick. Give it some time though.

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!!!!

Because rejection sucks!  When I was first dating my husband, I knew I loved him pretty quickly (about a month or so).  I was so scared to tell him I loved him since I had never said it to anyone else.  His response was, "Oh, I hope you don't get hurt."  Not very romantic.  I still tease him about it.  It really hurt back then.  \n\nIf it makes you too nervous to tell him, you might just want to wait until he is in the same place as you.  If it is a long haul relationship, at some point, he'll realize he loves you to and he will tell you.  Then you don't have to worry about the rejection.

i have the same problem sometimes. i think its because, well at least for me, either there's an awkward silence and you just want to make it go away or you think you know what your going to say, but it comes out wrong but you can't really go back and fix it like with saying i love you. i hope that helps you.

MORE MEN: Some men are afraid to admit it wile\nLESSER MEN: others just want to be friends longer to make the relationship more meaningful for the both of you.

SOME GUYS DO IT TO GET YOU IN BED BUT OTHERS DO IT BECAUSE THEY ARE SCARED THAT THEY WILL LOSE YOU IF THEY SAY THAT THEY DON'T AND SOME ARE SCARED OF THOSE THREE LITTLE WORDS. SOME HAVE MIXED FEELINGS AND DON'T KNOW WHEATHER OR NOT THE LOVE YOU OR NOT. IT'S NOT REALLY THAT THEY DON'T KNOW IT'S JUST THAT THEY ARE CONFUSED.

Love isnt something that is expressed verbally, love is something that is shown. If he buys you flowers, sticks up for you infront of his friends, goes out of his way to do something just to make your day go a little bit smoother, then yes he loves you :) If he shows you things like this then you know, he could say he loves you a billion times but untill he shows you, you wont really know, keep in mind that all guys show love in a differnt way, some buy you flowers and give you money, others call you just to tell you that your beautiful and take you out on picnics at the park, so dont rate his love on what you expect from him but on how much he tries to show you :)
