I want to say I love you but I don't know if I should wait for him to say it first? We've talked about it before but never said it. He says that he has a hard time saying how he feels. He doesn't even tell his mom that he loves her. It's just a given. Problem is I too am struggling with the actual words. I think once it's said it will be easier, but it's that first time that is so hard. It's also possible that I'm afraid he doesn't return my feelings. What should I do?
What if he doesn't return your feelings, will you be better or worse off than you are now not knowing. Its very challenging to be the first one, not knowing what the response will be.
Well as far as the chance of him returning it, it depends on how long you've been together, things that you have done together that might be symbolic of the level of the relationship according to him. An example is that I am a writer, I write stories, poetry, etc. And have had some publishing success, however sharing my writings with someone who I am in a relationship is something that I almost never do and have only done once or twice with a girl that I really felt was special and I could trust. It was about a year into the relationship before I showed her any of my works.
If you've talked about it and he hasn't run for the hills yet then I'm sure deep down he actually loves you. Some guys just have a hard time expressing their emotions in words, especially when it comes to something such as love.
On a personal note I don't think I've ever said "I Love You" to my mom nor even called her mom for that matter.
I believe I love you should only be said if you truly mean it and feel it. I love my boyfriend, but there are times, he would say, "i love you", but...
