My boyfriend stopped saying "I love you" WHAT IS LOVE?

Anonymous
I mean... I guess its only been like a little over 4 months since we started going out..

And he was professing his love for me like a month into the relationship and this being my first... I think its love...? LOL so I said it back and we just casually say it to each other..

But then recently he's been saying "I want to be cautious... because I am your first." And he hadn't been saying I love you...

And when I asked him one day he was like "i just don't wanna say it so much" and kissed me and when asked him if he did love me he said "of course I love you"

But I feel like he really loves me... like he'll always stare and smile and always caress my face and give me very unexpected random kisses...

And now I question... what is love...?

How do you define love...?

Like I used to think it was this complex feeling, but idk... I feel like I care deeply for my boyfriend and I think that's love... And I feel like he'll always be somewhat special to me even if we do break up and I think I will always love him in some form.. and care for him.

But not hearing him say the words "i love u" kinda makes me feel uneasy. May be its because he's my first and I'm a girl? LOL

We're 21/22 right now if that gives you more ideas about our maturity level. I feel like I'm very... still emotionally young esp because this is my first ever boyfriend.
