Hey, I have a gf, and she says she loves me, and we have been going out for about a week. The only times she says "I love you" is on the computer. I even say it when we are in person and she doesn't say it back... she has told me her feelings and she says she really loves me, and she is like crazy about me, but my question is: How come she won't say it back?
chaos answered Saturday November 13 2004, 9:50 am: I think she is working her way up to saying it. Or she might be wrapping up the ends from a former relationship, and she doesn't want to jump into a new one this early. It took me a little while too. She will tell you when its time. Don't feel bad. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]
KMUL05 answered Friday November 12 2004, 11:30 pm: Hun she is probably just to scared to say it in person. maybe ask her why she wont say it back to you. but also you have been going out for only a week. i really hope i helped! mauuhh! [ KMUL05's advice column | Ask KMUL05 A Question ]
PrEtTyKiTtY0428 answered Friday November 12 2004, 10:48 pm: You should really talk to her about that. It might just be harder for her to say it to you on the phone, because she actually has to say it but on the computer she isn't saying it directly to you. She also might not really feel the same way about you.You guys haven't even really been going out for a long time at all. A week is not that long at all. She just probably Isn't ready to say it back to you yet. You should ask her how she feels. Ask her why she says I love you to you on the computer but not the phone. I'm sure she'll tell you. She probably hasn't told you, because you haven't said anything to her about it so she doesn't know that it bothers you. Well, I hope I helped ya out! If you have anymore questions, just email me at PrEtTyKiTtY0428@aol.com and I'll try my best to answer them the best I can. Bye hun!

Ayumi answered Friday November 12 2004, 9:50 pm: Hm, in my opinion, I don't think you can know if you love somebody after dating her for only a week. But, still, some things are harder to say offline. Going on a chat program and IMing the message is much easier, and I'm sure you've noticed now a quiet friend you have is so silent at school, yet very energetic and hyper on the Internet.
Your girlfriend may be more serious than you are when it comes to telling a person that she loves you. Different people have different views.
For example, I can tell my boyfriend of 3 months here that I love him, and he will be okay with that. However, if I have dated a boy for 3 months in my home country and told him I loved him, I would be viewed as a fast-moving whore.
Therefore, she might like you a lot to the point where she loves you, but she isn't used to saying it so early in a relationship. Give her more time, and I'm sure she'll say "I love you" very soon. [ Ayumi's advice column | Ask Ayumi A Question ]

AnAngelzBeauty answered Friday November 12 2004, 6:35 pm: She might be scared of saying it for the wrong reasons. But don't worry, if you two have only been together a week let time take its course and she may come around to truly expressing her love or you may find out it wasn't forever after all.

SweetPea9839 answered Friday November 12 2004, 5:26 pm: well she may be a little embarrased...when you say love....that is kind of a strong word,.....but i dont know what kind of girl your girfriend is..just talk to her about it...ask her if she doesnt want to do the i love you's in person
rainbowcherrie answered Friday November 12 2004, 4:47 pm: I never say 'I love you' to my boyfriend in person. He knows I do and I know he loves me, we're both too scared to say it in person. You too have only been together for a week. Give it some time and let everything get settled and hopefully she'll start to say she loves you back.

GroverTheStoNer answered Friday November 12 2004, 4:45 pm: Slow down! You've been going out for a week! It takes a lot of time to make a relationship work. Maybe thats the reason why. Just dont say it for a long time. When you really really really feel like you care about her tons,like more than you can imagine, THEN say I love you. Because thats when you'll mean it.

xOcRaZiCrAcKaox answered Friday November 12 2004, 3:41 pm: Well dude, give it time. You've only been going out with her for a week. Lay low a bit. Stop saying it all the time. Wait bout a month, and then say it. Mayybe she will say it back then.
PerkyPeacock answered Friday November 12 2004, 12:48 pm: you guys have been going out for a week. how can you already be in love? give it some time, don't force the relationship to go too deep too fast. she's prolly just not 110% sure is all. besides, a week hun, a week. that's a short time. maybe she just doesn't know yet. best of luck [ PerkyPeacock's advice column | Ask PerkyPeacock A Question ]
Pain_Is_Love_101004 answered Friday November 12 2004, 11:50 am: Okay!I think that she wont say it back because she is scared that you might not belive her. If you have only been dating for one week it might be a lil soon to say I love you. You may have very strong feelings for eachother but dont call it love yet. Just talk to her about it.

aNgeLxfOrEvEr answered Friday November 12 2004, 11:50 am: Well you have only been going out for a week. Maybe she's not comfortable with saying it in person. You are just moving faster than she is. Give her some time, and don't get all worked up about it. Again, it's only been a week. Good luck!
BlOnDiEsTeFaNiE1 answered Friday November 12 2004, 11:13 am: She must be really shy about it. Obviously she must mean if she is gonna tell you on the nternet but she just dpesnt want to say it to your face because there 3 hard word to say to a person. Im never able to say it to the people i love either. But give her time she will get it out eventually.

Squirrel_on_fire13 answered Friday November 12 2004, 9:53 am: ok, DEFFINANTLY don't try and "get in her pants", that'll do one of two things
1. Freak her out cuz you 2 have only been going out a week
2.make her think you're using her.
you've only been going out for a week. she' probably either Shy, or unsure. give her some time, take it slow and gradually grow closer to her.
LiLnSbAbY123 answered Friday November 12 2004, 6:36 am: Saying the words "I LOVE YOU" can be scary. When I had my first boyfriend I wasn't sure what to say when he said it so I told him that I didn't want him to say it because we were to young to really be in love. Maybe try telling her that you LIKE her a lot. Then gradually get into say I love you again. But I don't think you should be saying it after just going out for a week. What a while, you have the rest of you life to be in love.

xxxxxx answered Friday November 12 2004, 6:22 am: because saying the words "i love you" in person when you REALLY mean it, is awkward. i wouldnt worry, she IS crazy about you, its probably just hard for her to say it. =) [ xxxxxx's advice column | Ask xxxxxx A Question ]
alisonmarie answered Friday November 12 2004, 6:11 am: Maybe she's never said it before. Maybe she's nervous. Or maybe she isn't really clear how she feels.
After a week, love hasn't even entered the equation. You two might feel like you really like each other, or that you might love each other one day...but one week does not love make.
