my bf wont say he loves me around his family and friends...

He does say it all the time when he's alone. He usually says it more than me. Is this normal?? Today, I was on the phone w/ him and had to go...and said "i love you," and he acted like there was phone static and breaking up.....I told him i didn't believe him and he admitted it....and tried to change teh subject....i really had to go.....and i was a little hurt by that...He keeps callin and leavin text messages sayin that he's sorry and that he loves me. Is this normal, should I be hurt by it??

It's pretty normal, you should hear the ribbing we get from family and friends after the phone call ends. It's very embarrassing.

If he says it in private that's good, he's just embarrassed to say it in front of other people, I would be to.

My suggestion to him would be: When you say "I love you" at the end off a call, he should say "you too" pretending there is static or changing the subject is lame.

If he says "you too" you know he means it, but it's not as embarrassing for him, and doesn't give his friends enough ammo to tease him.

It's not a big deal. I'm not even a guy, and I'd feel embarrassed telling a bf that I love him in front of all my friends or family.

It was pretty lousy of him to pretend there was static, but if he's not used to that type of situation, he probably just panicked and didn't know what to say.

You should just talk to him and tell him you understand why he did it, but let him know that you'd appreciate it if he said something like what BigB suggested.
