My boyfriend and I have been dating over six months (I'm mid-twenties, he's a few years older), and it has been amazing. He treats me fantastically and I never doubt that he cares about me. After biting my tongue for six months hoping he would say it, one evening I finally blurted `I love you' when I just couldn't keep it in any longer. He said it back, and it was a really wonderful moment. About a week later I said it again while in an intimate moment (I figured now it was out there it could be assumed it was okay to say to each other now), and he didn't say it back. A week or two later, the same thing happened (I just sort of pretended I didn't notice at the time). It has now been about a month since that first time we said it to each other, and he hasn't said it back since then. In every relationship in my past I've always been told I love you sooner than six months, and while I'm so glad he treats me very well, verbalizing those feeling is very important to me. I think the fact that he said it back to me the first time, and then never has since, has left me a little confused and not knowing what to think. .Any thoughts please?
Boyfriend said "I love you" once, but hasn't said it since..
