My boyfriend and I have been together for 8 months now and I very happy with the way the things are going. It was pretty slow moving at first but at this stage in our relationship, I really feel that he has grown and is more affectionate and loving than I ever imagined he would be judging by his quiet personality.
He has told me many times before that he had many failed relationships where he was involved with crazy cheaters and liars. I feel that he is slow moving because perhaps he is nervous since he had so many troubles in the past? We rarely fight, he does a lot for me, and I stay over his house every weekend. I consider it a serious relationship because I am also very close with his family as well. I feel like all the right ingredients are there, but how can i get him to say “I love you?”
I really hate the types of guys who fall head over heels for a girl WAY too quickly and throw around “i love you’s” like crazy. I like the fact that he moved slow and evolved to the point that he is at now, rather than someone who rushes without even meaning what they say. However, at 8 months, I feel that it is long enough to wait.
Judging by his personality, I doubt he will ever say it first and I’m really nervous to utter those words. What if he does’t say it back? What if he just says it back to be polite but doesn’t mean it? Or what if he says he doesn’t know how he feels? What should i do?? =(
