Do his actions speak loud enough... Is he in love?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend and I are both mid-40s, divorced. He's spent over $1500 just on travel & meals to see me in 2 mo. Just as happy holding me and talking for hours as being physical, but both aspects of our relationship are amazing.

He asks my opinion on his kids and work, wants to help with my issues. Our lives are separated by work, location, and logistics, but we're together at least 1x per week.

He says I should know how he feels, though he won't label it, and to "read between the lines." Am I reading too much into it, or does it sound like love?

How long have you known this guy? Just because he spends a little to come see you (which is expected by the way), doesn't mean he's ready to commit to the term "love" with you. More like the term "curious."

Sounds like "love is in the air!"

By not saying he keeps his escape clause... he's a turd.

In my opinion he needs to say it and not play games.

Thank you for the MHO. 😊

He showed love. No doubts.

Better question is what do you think?

It feels like it, for sure. But I'm afraid I'm somewhat led by my own deep feelings.

[Pterodon]

You can always ask him

[Asker]

I told him I needed to know and not make assumptions. He said to "read between the lines" and I should know. That's not an answer.

[Pterodon]

No it isn’t and I agree. You deserve a yes no answer
