Any advice?
I said ''I love you'' he didn't say it back. should I worry about that?
Any advice?
I wouldn't worry, he may not be ready to say it and that's ok. You wouldn't want him to say something he didn't mean and it's not like he ran away screaming.
I said it first, 6 months into our relationship - when I said it I told him he didn't have to say it back and that I just wanted him to know - and he didn't say it for another few months. He still showed he cared and didn't shrink away in his affection so it wasn't something to stress over. Actions always mean more than words😊
Just let him have his own time, this is not the movies that they say I love u at the same time. Just let him has his time, and if more time pass and he doesn't say it. Then just talk it out. I know to some guys, they don't say "I love you" slightly. They say it when they truly mean it
Three months isn't very long, really. And every guy is different. He might love you and just isn't ready to say it yet. Or hearing you say it might have just made him feel a little emotional or choked up, and he didn't want to respond because it might show too much emotion.
well that's the thing, we both get really very emotional sometimes but never say how we feel.. that's why I couldn't hold myself from saying it today!
Give him some time. He might text or email you and tell you what was going through his mind at the time. He was probably glad to hear you say it, though. :)
I love you after only 3 months? Whooooo that's quick. A girl did that to me one time and I had no idea how to respond. I wasn't at that place yet, it didn't mean that I didn't really like her but I'm slow to let someone into my heart.
Take it slow. Let things develop. That girl pretty much stopped seeing me after I didn't say I love you back. I think she was offended but I really did like her. That's how it goes though.
Am I weird then? I didn't really get offended or annoyed.. I said what I felt!
We kept talking for an hour or so after we left so I don't think that was the end lol
I think I rushed a bit but I really feel it.. Plus the way he treats me makes me want to say it all the time, I mean his actions.. but I'm a bit worried now that he didn't like the fact that I rushed!
Naaa I'm sure it's all good. Some people are much quicker to fall in love or say I love you. Consider his upbringing. My family hated eachother and that's why it takes awhile for me to fall in love. Other people aren't like that.
And no, you're not weird haha
yeaaaah that's a really important point.. Neither does he come from a very happy family!! It might be a reason plus his shyness.. understand it all now
thanks
No problem, glad I could help!
Reminds me of an ex. She told me she loved me, but I didn't because although I really like her a lot, I didn't love her at that point. I eventually did fall for her though, and the relationship ended due to different reasons much later.

He's not freaked out by it, just isn't ready to say it back. You have nothing to worry about, just give him some time. I mean think about it, who would hug and kiss someone they don't love? Just chill for a bit
What are your instincts telling you? Women usually know if a man loves her even if he doesn't say it. If you feel like that was him brushing it off and not saying it because he doesn't reciprocate, bring that up sooner rather than later. There's nothing wrong with trying to find out where you stand if you're that emotionally invested at this point.
That is pretty normal, especially for guys I think. It just means he is not ready but it doesn't mean he won't ever be. I think three months is really early for many people, at least for me it is.
Don't put any pressure on him. It's a huge step. I would talk to him and explain that you do have these feelings for him but that it's okay if he's not there yet. You just wanted him to know how you felt.
he said it with his actions... I think you could feel it.
I thinks he will say it with words soon. just dont rush him and don't make him feel you are disappointed or sad that he didn't.
I didn't make him feel like that cos I didn't feel sad which surprised me!!! and Indeed his actions and support show a greater love than what these 3 words do.. however, I was worried that he might be unhappy cos I said first or that I rushed or some other reason. but I just felt it and said it I don't want to regret
you shouldn't regret. you were true and honnest. thats really great.
after all who said boys should say it first? thay's not a rule (I once told my boyfriend first and it was totally ok for both of us). as long as there is a connection between you and he is treating you well, respecting you and caring about you, you should say it whenever you feel it. he will do it too as soon as he gets comfortable with the idea. don't worry it's really good to be true. people nowadays complicate things too much hiding their feelings and overthinking and calculating everything and that's sad.
That's helpful.. thanks !!!
Yes yes I love him <3
Good luck β€
I wouldn't worry about it. He'll tell you when or if he's ready. 3 months is pretty early for a lot of couples... he probably wasn't prepared for it. Give it time.
It depends on the guy. I think he is afraid of getting hurt so he wants to make sure he can fully trust you before he says he loves you back.
Its funny because all my exes did this when I told them that. The timing may not have been good to say it back for them. Generally, men will not use that word unless they REALLY mean it and the timing has to be right.
he said it with his actions. I only say that to family. Id go as far to say, i love how you...
He's not freaked out by it, just wasn't ready to say it back. No need to worry about it.
That's so awkward. I think give him some time. 3 months is still very fresh and new. Maybe don't say it until like 6 months in and if he's still uncomfortable then, talk to him and be like wtf man? 🙃
its okay for him not to say it back. don't force him to.
A lot of guys are nervous to say I love you because most men share that only with family, I can guarantee that he feels love for you. Just give it some time and he'll say it back 😆
Three months is too soon. He just need time. Just wait for things to develop.
That's why its best for the man to say I love you first
Give him time to say it so that he means it
