Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have been with my boyfriend for 6 months and we see one another every fornight. We get on very well I've met his family been invited on their holidays next January, he treats me, taken me on holiday and it seemed to me he must feel for me. I got quite drunk and regrettably told him I loved him, at once he went really cold and said ok that's sleep. I got very upset and started crying,and went downstairs to calm down,when I went back up I found him crying too saying he didn't want to split up but he dosen't love me. today we talked and his backtracked several times he said there wasn't a spark then he said he didn't mean it and I put him on the spot and he definitely feels something he hasn't for anyone else and he sees me in his future,then he said he feels I want different thing. He also said that when he said what he thought I got upset so he only saying the nice things not to upset me?but when I asked him this he said he was insulted I didn't believe him. I'm his longest girlfriend he said he was hurt before and he thought he was in love but wasn't sure. What should I do am I wasting my time? Is 6 months too early to love? Were both 28yrs old. Thank you. X x

Honeypie agony auntI'm sorry if he doesn't love you after 6 months together, it's not going to happen IMHO.

He can obviously see you, spend time with you and have sex, but he can't feel love? Yeah, I'm sorry, but I would move on.

Daisy_Daisy agony auntYou can fall in love in 6 days or 6 weeks, let alone 6 months. I think it might be an idea to give him some space so he can sort his head out. It's hard to do when you love someone but it's better to find out where you stand sooner rather than later. He sounds messed up and you also need to decide whether or not you can put up with his issues in the long term.

Good luck.

janniepeg agony auntI assume he's the same age with you, so 6 months is the longest he's ever had? 6 months is not too early to love. Meeting parents, going on vacation is what couples do but they are not reliable indicators that you are indeed offical couples. He sounds like a wounded animal. What ever happend to him he couldn't trust women anymore. As a 28 year old I feel you are wasting time. If he's sixteen then I would give him a break.
