writes: I have been with my boyfriend for about 3 1/2 months now. I had only known him for slightly less than 2 months before we started dating. I'm pretty sure he was saying he loved me from the very beginning. I held out for a while in saying it but then I finally gave in because I felt bad since he said it all the time. Lately he talks about how I am his "true love" and how his parents will be excited to have me as their daughter (I've never met them yet because they live far away, but he has told them all about me). Aside from him always talking about how he loves me, why wouldn't I love him back? He's attractive, polite, likes to work out, and cares about me a lot. It sounds like he would be a dream guy to me....so why then have I not fallen for him? *It may be important to mention that I am his first girlfriend. I wish I could say I was in love but I just can't. I don't know what to do. I don't want to break up with him and hurt his feelings, and I don't want to end up alone as a result of breaking up with him now. I am working on saying that I love him less often, but otherwise I don't know how to proceed. Advice, please! Reply to this Question Share |

You SHOULD break up with him. You are hurting him by staying with him out of pity. You are being SELFISH.
He deserves a girl who is madly in love with him and he in her.
(and so do you.) He just wasn't it.
