Why hasn't he said the "L" word?

Question - (29 March 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 30 March 2011)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend and I have been together for six months now. He told me once that he's never felt this way about anybody before and it scares him sometimes how much he likes me. We've both met each others parents and went on holiday together, and I feel like I may be really falling for him. We are both at a university and are going to be graduating at the end of May. We have talked about what is going to happen with us and decided to just wait and see. He isn't very big on material things such as gifts but he's always very affectionate. I know we might break up in a few months but I would still like to know whether or not he loves me. I suppose I can flat out tell him but I'm afraid that might scare him or make me look desperate. Why hasn't he said it yet?

Hey girl!

SO I was in a situation just like yours! My bf and I have been together 21/2 yrs now and it took him 1 full year to say he loved me. I had asked him about this and he said since Im his first girlfriend he doesn't know what it feels like to be in love and he doesn't want to rush it. He reassured me by saying "just know i like you VERY much"

I do not believe in any way that by saying just the words mean anything. I have been screwed over by people who have said the love me (family and ex's) therefore it should be about how he acts and his attitude toward you. Actions speak louder than any words! If you feel chemistry and like each-other why force him to say something when he's not ready.

Also after my bf did say it, he told me that he wanted to keep it special and meaningful so he didn't want to overuse it.

I can tell every day that my bf loves me just by the way he holds me or the kind things he does/says, and I'm sure if you looked beyond the fact that society considers the norm you will realize he does love you.

Good luck , xo
