I told him I was falling in love with him recently and he replied that he was not in love with me and wanted to be honest and tell me that he took longer in matters of the heart. We have a good relationship and see each other every weekend. However, I am now worried that I am wasting time on someone who may or may not fall in love with me. He says it may come in the future, but I don't want to wait anther 6 months only for him to tell me that he doesn't love me after all. That would only lead to me being hurt I feel. He also never pays me compliments, and I'm worried that this is somehow connected to him not loving me. When I told him I wished he would pay me compliments or maybe tell me I look nice at times, he says that he is just not a romantic person. Please can you offer me some advice - should I leave him and look for someone else? I am quite a soft hearted person and I find that I can't ask anyone else about this in case they think I am over-analysing things, so any advice would be really welcomed. x Reply to this Question

 You don't sound very happy. I think you probably need to look for someone else.
