    Default How Long Should I Wait For "I Love You ? "

    I have been with my boyfriend for 7 1/2 wonderful months. He is so good to me and is very traditional when it comes to our relationship. He does not cheat or lie, he calls just to see if I’m ok, he is a willing and capable provider and he is affectionate. He makes me a better women, I cook, clean, wash and do things for him I would have never done for anyone else. He offered to pay for half of my beauty school tuition without me even asking or acting like I needed his help. I love him so much that I won't let him pay for things unless I really need him to.

    I decided to tell him I loved him a month ago and he said " I care about you more than I can say with words but I will not tell you I love you until I'm really sure because it will be my first time saying it to any one outside my mom and dad" My heart fell on the floor but because I love him so much I told him that I understood. I didn't really understand and it took everything in me not to cry because it was the first time I had said it to a man. His actions toward me are of a man that loves a women deeply so am I wrong to be hurt by the fact that he is not sure if he loves me? How long should I wait for him to say he loves me ? How long is too long to wait?

    That's a tough one. I had a similar situation with my husband.

    We had been dating for over 5 yrs. I kept (and everyone else) asking when he was going to ask me to marry him. He said he will when he "knows for sure" that I'm the one. My heart broke..I KNEW he was the one. We had been together for a long time and been living together for a couple of years, what the hell wasn't he "sure" about!?

    But the time did come not long after that. He finally asked me. Now I understand what he meant.

    Don't rush him, it may push him away. I think it's WONDERFUL that he doesn't throw the word around like a lot of men do. It show's that he really does care about you and doesn't want to hurt you.

    Be patient, it will happen! ((HUGS))

    I waited almost 3 years. In all honesty I knew he loved me so him saying it was superfluous.

    From the 40 Things sticky in Ladies Only...

    Actions speak louder than words.

    Love is a verb.

    When actions and words conflict, believe the actions. Respond to the actions.


    Whilst it is great when someone does say "I love you" to you. It means nothing if it isn't back-ed up by his actions. I would rather 'hear' it through someone's actions than 'hear' it verbally.

    You guys are sooo great I needed to hear all of that ^^^^^. I guess I'm just scared that if he takes a long time to say he loves me then he will take a REALLY long time to ask me to be his wife. I love him and inside I feel he loves me that's what I will keep inside my heart.
