My boyfriend told me he loved me the other day.
And I froze because I don't love him back.
What should I have said, and what should I say in the future when I still don't love him and he says it again?

If he grows concerned, just assure him that you still have feelings for him, but you are not in love at this point in your relationship. If he's a good guy, he will let you decide your true feelings on your own without obsessing over it. [ sugarplum07's advice column | Ask sugarplum07 A Question ]

Just whatever you say, don't respond with a "thanks." I know a guy who used to do that & to me, that's more rude than saying nothing at all. [ LadyH's advice column | Ask LadyH A Question ]

Good Luck with your boyfriend and I hope I helped! [ DepthofHeart's advice column | Ask DepthofHeart A Question ]

MommaSadie85 answered Monday March 12 2007, 1:25 am: I have that problem, too. I mean, I think I do love him back but I'm not ready to say it until I'm 100% sure. When he says it you can just lean in and kiss him.. it'll shut him up lol. Seriously though don't just freeze it makes them feel totally stupid. Tell him you have really strong feelings for him you're just shy about saying the L word! :) Hope that helps. [ MommaSadie85's advice column | Ask MommaSadie85 A Question ]
