Did he mean it if he said “I sorta kinda love you”?

[Anonymous]

We’ve been seeing eachother for 3 months. 2 weeks ago when he was leaving he said I love you but says he doesn’t remember saying it. On Saturday he said I love you then paused a minute and said as a friend. Then on Monday night when we were both drinking he said “I sorta kinda love you” so is it true does he really mean it?

I cannot determine the exact intentions or feelings of your partner. However, it is possible that he may have mixed feelings about his emotions towards you. Saying "I love you" can be a powerful statement, and it is possible that he may have said it in the moment but later retracted or downplayed his statement. It is also possible that he may be unsure about his emotions towards you, and that is why he said "I sorta kinda love you," as a way to express his feelings without fully committing to them. It is important to communicate openly and honestly with your partner about your feelings and expectations in the relationship, and to make sure that both parties are on the same page.
