is real hard to say, when there is doubt that it is true. Also love & need are easily confussed emotions, for both sexes. Those guys who are emotionally honest with themselves and with others will not say it unless they are certain that it is true, many who are less emotionally honest, just feel uncomfortable with it, and flee from any hint of discomfort, without examining their own reasons, motives. Just my (humble) opinion, but I believe that i speak from experience.
Hi P2,
I agree with you on the most part,but what if the man is aware it is true and he knows the woman is real.I tend to think men hold off on saying when they fear losing that control of single life,fear and committing.Perhaps previous relationships that ended badly make him feel uneasy so he takes his time to make absolute certain before he can safely say it.
Two girls said that to me (and probably I did not say 'I love you too), the first one dissapeared and is married with a kid, and recently gave up on the other for mucking about with some guy at her work place. So words speak louder than action, it seems. Maybe I should get a life!!
"my fear is that she might have told some guy she loves him before me".Well I'm sure she told another Guy before you she loved him.We can love another/others before meeting someone new.
For me its difficult to say those words. Im not used to expressing my emotions. But my actions does tell and I try to find those actions from my partner.
Words can be mostly deceiving and there are a lot of men I know who are good at saying "Love You" without their heart in it.
Women are good at showing their emotions by their actions.
