ow, he just want to get in your pants…
If A guy says he loves you (IF!)
it takes months or years in a relationship. For him to mean it.
It is a clear fact.
sorry.

love ya lots, does not necessarily mean I love you. Take the relationship one day at a time and maybe you will fall i love and maybe you won’t. If it bothers you a lot talk to him, if that will help…

really don’t think he’s tryin to get into my pants, he’s been a real gentleman and apperantly he’s been mad about me for 2 years before he asked me out…he’s told his mum about me and he was happy to meet my parents…i’m only out of a relationship about a month before we hooked up so i’m hesitant to get back into another heavy relationship but on the other hand he’s everything i wanted my ex to be, i don’t want to scare him away either.

This is exactly what I was going through a couple months ago. A guy who was loved me from the start and I was not quite ready to go there. I’m 27, so it’s a bit different because I came around because he is the right guy for me and it’s a no brainer. If you think given more time you could feel the same way go for it… take it slow if he cares about he will give you time to figure it out.

AmandaLynn is exactly right, you have to love someone for who they are not who you want them to be and vice versa. That’s the only way to do it. A guy who cares about you will be willing to love you for who you are and will give time to figure it out.

thanks KNielsen :) he’s knows how i feel and he did say he’d wait forever if he had to, he’s so sweet :) just don’t want to find i fall for him and he stops bothering, as i assume that’s the way it goes(previous relationship experance!!), i really wanna be wrong on that.

and to AmandaLynn, thanks for a the advise, i’m not the type of person to keep things bottled up and we’ve both been honest and open with each other..i’m a very indepentant person and he’s seems he’s in the right place, there’s nothing i’d change about him, there’s nothing i’d need to change, he’s perfect!! well, so far hahaha.

Thanks for the advise guys, guess i should relax and enjoy it instead of worring about it. if it is, it is and if it’s not than it’s not. i can live with that :)

Good luck!! You seem to have a good head on your shoulders and everything will turn out okay in the end. This is a good quote that helps when life starts getting to you ” if it’s not okay, it’s not the end” not sure who said it,but it makes me feel better when I’m down

He’s had a crush on you for over 2 years. That speaks volumes. He may indeed love you. If you can tell him gently that you prefer he hold back until he gets to know you better that that is what you would prefer. He will probably do as you ask but it won’t change how he feels about you. He cherishes the ground you walk on. We should all be so lucky to find such a friend. Good luck.

??? i’ve only been with him three weeks and the potential is there but i can’t say “I love him” just because he loves me??? that’s just wrong. Also i said i loved the last guy i was with and i meant it but he didn’t love me back….it’s hard to get over a broken heart and realise there’s others out there who i could love as much as i did my ex…

to southern_comfort thanks i agree i really appreciate him and he’s company…only time will tell :)

update….well, we discussed it, didn’t really mean to start the conversation but found myself in the middle of it realizing i may have changed things forever. But honesty is the best policy. he got a little upset…but after dicussing it he seemed okay…finally when he was leaving he said he’d wait till i say it before he does again but i don’t want him to hold back….wondering should i have said it??
