Why do guys say I love you when they do not mean it?

[Lovesick40]

I have been involved with a guy off and on again for about 9 months. He initiated the I love yous and still does, but he doesn't mean it. His actions do not match his words and he is distant. Why say it if you don't mean it?

He may be just saying it so he can have more sex. Is that what is happening?

[Lovesick40]

I wish. If it were for sex I would not be complaining

He believes it is love. He doesn't know love.

Same reason so many women feign interest when they don't mean it. It's a part of the game.

[Lovesick40]

Why play the game. He could have what he wants without saying I love you. It’s confusing

🤣🤣🤣 because it's the way your gender wants it. Your gender makes the rules. We just reluctantly play along.

So you can read his mind?

[Lovesick40]

No but his actions to match his words. He is very distant and will not open up

[rabbitzzz]

Sex maybe.

[Lovesick40]

I wish. I would not complain
