okay boyfriend trouble. i've been dating this guy for about a month now and im a little confused. i can tell he has very strong feelings for me and he knows i have strong feelings for him too. but he hasn't said i love you yet.. i don't get it. i mean all my ex's had said it way earlier than a month. he's almost said it like 3 times but i have this wierd feeling telling me he's afraid to say it cause he doesn't know what my reaction will be. i know im intimidating at times but i try to soften my expression whenever im with him. what can i do to make him not scared to say it? without losing my way of spitting game and without saying it first. any advice would be grand:) thank ya.

He hasn't said it for a reason. I think that's a good sign considering you have been dating for about a month. Every person is different.
Some are waiting for that right moment to make it special or don't want to say it to avoid any possible awkward reactions. Cause I'm sure everyone has heard "she/he said it too soon and the other person freaked out" thing.
I didn't want a relationship that said that within the first few months because half of the time you are still getting to know that person.
Even if you have known that person for awhile (months-years) a relationship is still a big step and saying it could be intimidating on it's own.
You should say it when you know the feeling is mutual or when you've dated for many months.
You should try not saying it the first time in this relationship and see how it goes. He's with you for a reason though, just remember that. He likes you and cares about you. Waiting can be good. [ queenhearts's advice column | Ask queenhearts A Question ]

best option is to wait & if he doesn't say anything
then casually bring it up(: [ sunshine1232's advice column | Ask sunshine1232 A Question ]

You can pretty much just make him feel comfortable around you and wait. Hope I helped:) [ o0Yourmom0o's advice column | Ask o0Yourmom0o A Question ]
