Hello! *waves* Okay, well me and my boyfriend Caleb have been going out for almost 6 months now and we're pretty much inseperable. We have so much in common, and he's my best friend. I don't know what I'd do without him. We talk to each other about everything, and we're just "so adorable" if I don't say so myself. Anyways..a few months ago we started this thing joking around by going "I heart you." Like we would say that instead of "I love you." Well we still say that to each other to this day, and I know it's only been 5 1/2 months, but I'm getting to the point where I know for sure that I love him now and I can tell by his actions and what he does that he loves me too. I just want to hear him tell me that he loves me so badly. But obviously I only want him to if he really means it. I see other couples on myspace and everything saying they love each other when it's only been like a month for them. I guess with him taking this long to tell me I'll know that he for sure means it, instead of just prematurely throwing the word around like some other couples do.

At the end of the summer when he asked me out, it took him almost two months before he finally did to make us official. A few months later I would tease him for how long it took him to ask me out and he would just laugh and say that he was just really nervous and whenever he had a day planned to ask me, he would chicken out and then not do it. My boyfriend is a shy person to begin with so I don't know if it's just taking him a while to tell me he loves me because he's scared again (because don't get me wrong, that's a huge thing to tell somebody) just like how it took him a while to ask me out in the summer because he was scared to also. But basically I just wanted people's inputs on it, or if in your life something similar like this is happening to you..so when the time comes for him to tell me it's going to be more special since it took time which will hopefully be more cherishing. Okay well that's it guys! Sorry it's so long!! Oh and don't mind the title..didn't mean to title it that, haha. Byee! :] <3

hmmm...actions speak louder than words =P If you can see that he loves you, and feels that he loves you, what big big difference would it make if he doesn't say it out loud? I read somewhere in Cosmopolitan that guys show their love by actions, whereas girls show their love by words. If your boyfriend shows you that he loves you, in his mind, he's probably saying "I love you" to you.

I've asked my boyfriend about this...we used to say "I heart you" and "I lubb/wuv you" before we used the word "love" ... my boyfriend said that he figured "I heart you" and "I lubb/wuv you" is equivalent to "I love you" and that's why he didn't feel the need to use the word love. Also he said he'd figured that he'd already "said" those 3 magic words by the actions that he does - making me feel special and doing stuff with me. I got him to say "I love you" by telling him that I loved him first =] He followed suit.

I say if it bugs you that much...go talk to your bf about it?
