Question Posted Thursday September 30 2004, 1:54 pm
My boyfriend told me he didn't love me but he likes me alot. He doesn't know that I love him and he keeps trying to get me to tell him but I wont, I think he's guessed. I just want to cry, I knew he didn't love me but when he told me it just made everything 10 times worse. I really love him, what shall I do?
MummuM answered Thursday September 30 2004, 8:57 pm: Just give it sometime hun. Girls tend to fall for guys a hell of a lot faster then guys do. He'll love you, you just have to give it sometime. Tell him you love him, I'm sure he'll understand. Be happy that you got a guy that's not gunna tell you he loves you and not mean it. He'll tell you and it will be special when he does!

mysticpixie05 answered Thursday September 30 2004, 6:31 pm: it sounds like he really cares about you alot. He is prolly just scared to say i love you at this point in time in his life. You should tell him that you love him and explain how you feel. He is prolly not saying he loves you because he is afraid of hurting you. Did you ever hear the saying "dont tell me you love me unless you mean it cause i might do something crazy like believe it." weel he is just prolly scared. I wouldnt really feel all that depressed, by him saying i like you alot doesnt mean that he doesnt really care about you. hope this helps.

U should sit him down and talk 2 him, tell him how u really feel. Once he knows u will feel so much better, and as long as he knows u love him then everything will be okay. Neways, he likes u a lot so that should count 4 something, he might not know what luv is yet. well, I hope I have helped u!
LiL_Tasha76 answered Thursday September 30 2004, 4:32 pm: well ..you love this kid right..and he said he likes you alot well thats just like sayin i love you ..so there really isnt a dif..but if you truley love him well stop holdin all your sad ness in and tell him eaither at the movies in a note or on the fone..but eaither way you need to tell him so that he knows its true..if you tell him then he may say the same back..if you kno those boys well enough he loves you alot and he wont show it but i bet he crys every night while he thinks of you...so just trust in your self and think postive not negative..tell him how you feel and it will change alot i bet !!
-JP- answered Thursday September 30 2004, 3:48 pm: Take it to the mattresses. What's this mean, you may ask. Well, take revenge upon him. How may this be accomplished? Make him jealous; once he becomes jealous, he will seriously reconsider the relationship and think about what you truly mean to him. As the saying goes, "He'll only miss you once you're gone." What's a better way to accomplish this then pretending to be with someone else? I'm available for all banging out services which you may require. I may not be that hot, but hey...it will only make him further infuriated and make him contemplate it even more ;). [ -JP-'s advice column | Ask -JP- A Question ]
ballerina04 answered Thursday September 30 2004, 3:45 pm: love is a very strong word. he seems not to want to make that huge jump yet. i had a boyfriend who told me he loved me, and it made it so much worse when we broke up. i would accept the "likes alot" for now. get to know each other a lot more, and hopefully he will someday reciprocate. best wishes!! send me a message if you need to talk more, i'm here for you. Love, K [ ballerina04's advice column | Ask ballerina04 A Question ]
Roxybabii922 answered Thursday September 30 2004, 3:36 pm: Well maybe he doesnt love you because he feels you havent been together long enough and he doesnt feel it yet? Why say something you dont mean, he's actually saving you from pain now by telling you he doesnt love you, rather then saying it and you finding out that he doesnt mean it, just stick around he'll come to love you one day..

Mercy_x_Me answered Thursday September 30 2004, 2:47 pm: hun, dont worry. Love is more like a marriagey thing... for people who are soo attatched they like need eachother every second of the day. You could possibly be using the wrong word.... or mayeb you really do love him. Dont cry tell him the truth. He may love you too!! A lot of people get confused of the definition between like and love....
alisonmarie answered Thursday September 30 2004, 2:33 pm: Does he not love you because you've only been dating one week, or because he'll never love you? It's important to try to see what he's feeling without pushing. If he doesn't see your relationship as going anywhere, then it's time to bail & find someone who can appreciate wonderful you.
It was either incredibly honest or terrible insensitive for him to blurt out that he did not love you. You are in the position to decide what you want to put up with from this and future relationships; do you want respect and mutual love, or desperate unhappiness?
