Should I be bothered that he hasn't said those 3 words yet?

Question - (14 July 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 25 July 2009)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I've been seeing my boyfriend for going on four months now, and I couldn't be happier. We both have made the decision that this is it. We are for sure headed toward our "happily ever after" together. Now, I'm used to jumping right into relationships; whether it's moving in together or saying "i love you" and him and I have yet to do either. On one hand, I'd like for this one to be different, take my time because I don't want to ginx it. Both him and I agree on that. And yet, If we both feel and know it's going to work out for the long run, whats the use in waiting? So basically I'm asking, should I be bothered that we are not living together, and he has yet to tell me those three words?

Love takes time to develop and that time varies for every person. I wouldn't pressure him if I were you. If you do, he'll end up saying it out of fear of loss rather than actually meaning it.

Maybe he hasn't been in love before or he's not really sure what love is. I would be more concerned with the way he treats you. I think love is action and if he really loves you he will show it through his actions and that's how you know he loves you.

just wait it out. he obviously isn't ready to get that deep into the relationship. if you actually feel like something is there then don't let it bother you.

bobbles32 agony auntI agree that it's a long time to wait for him to tell you that he loves you but it's better to wait it out than to jump the gun.
