Guest Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Ages 30 and 39 You tell a man "I love you" and he often replies with a giggle/nervous laugh and says, "No you don't" tee-hee Is he: A) Looking for further affirmation....i.e. "Tell me again, I need to hear it" B) I TRULY don't believe you do. C) I'm feeling scared that you don't love me as much as I do you and need to hear it again... Now to add more to the story, one yr. relationship....no problem saying the I love you back and even initiates it...but occasionally instead of "I love you too" it's....."No you don't" (kind of coming across as kidding....) Is he "kidding"? or......more to the story..(see above options or add one or two of your own) Link to post Share on other sites
Spinderella Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 In my experience it has been, "no you dont, tee hee" meaning "I really hope you don't because it means I will have to take your feelings seriously". That is my experience in my relationship though. It doesn't mean anything. Maybe, you should just ask him? Ask him why he does and says this, and what he means by it, or is he just joking around.

Guest Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 But, he tells me I love you or love you, honey all the time....so I just don't get it... Link to post Share on other sites
IpAncA Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 You know I don't know myself. Thats odd. He can say it and you can't without him shuting it down. I would talk to him about this and see why he is saying what he says. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 hope guest comes back. i vote d) all of the above. does he act insecure in any other ways when it comes to the relationship? Who's older? Ok, to be a little more clearer... We BOTH say the I love yous. Nothing usually weird about it, but sometimes he does the "No, you don't etc" as mentioned above. Also, at times he will say (if i didn't see him all day) "So.......did you miss me?" Like I said, it is only once in a while, but trying to figure out if he is a bit insecure and may feel he "cares more than I do" or something and may need more validation....or, one of the other scenarios as mentioned in the original post....

someone2 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Umm... is he the shy type? I myself am of this type, and sometimes, when my girl says "I love you", I start to think "hmm.. I need to reply with something smart. Something not as obvious as 'Love you too'. Something funny...". Well, I never thought about "No you don't, tee hee", but it looks pretty funny to me Maybe that's what he was thinking I wouldn't take it seriously, unless you see some other signs.

hollywood24 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 well, if it were me, I would just be messing with you, to make you think, to get you to say it again etc. Just to be unpredictable i guess. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 to get you to say it again etc. Right. To "get you to say it again".....is it because you NEED to hear it again? Like you aren't sure they are 100% with the statement? For reassurance? Link to post Share on other sites
IpAncA Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Well while your playing it drives women nuts because then we question ourselves as to whether or not you love us back or believe us. Real smooth guys.... Link to post Share on other sites

typical Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Its all very simple, really.... He is bored. And wants to throw an extra spark in there, so he throws in the ever sure firestarter "no you dont" just to create a cliffhanger. It was nothing really, just an attempt to brush a little danger and suspense into the relationship. Because lets face it...there is only so many times you can say "i love you" without it sounding blase, and totally expected. By saying "no you dont" it adds an air of suspense.... Does he believe me? Or not? Tune in next week... Link to post Share on other sites
