Guys, If you can't say what you are feeling for your girl how do you show it?

[sharonrose98]

I can't seem to get my guy to just open up and tell me how he feels. He does a lot of things that make me feel like he really likes me and may even be falling in love with me(it has been almost a year) but want to make sure I am reading the signs right.

 

I plan to talk to him about it soon but would like to have some input from the guys out there before I do.

Well, does he do sweet things for you, leave you little notes, call when he says he will, listen when you want to talk, and introduce you to his friends and family as the girl he's with?

 

If so, he may just be hung up on saying he loves you OR hes waiting for you to say it first.

There isn't really any opportunity for leaving notes and such. Usually when I see him I meet him at his place when he is getting home from work. We live 35 minutes apart.

 

He talks to me while he is working and the guys he is working with talk to him at the same time. He talks about us and doing things and the guys know it. I have talked to a couple of them on the phone too.

 

I have only met his mother and that was actually the same day I met him. If he is talking to me while at his Mom's or sisters and they ask who he is talking to he says my name so I know they know about me.

 

He calls me honey, babe etc. When we are together he is very affectionate always give me a very loving hug and kiss goodbye when I leave. We do not always have sex either. THere are a lot of times we are just happy to be together.

Is it just me or does this sound like a guy with FWBs?

You've been together a year and you haven't told each other how you feel (i.e., the three little words)?

Im with Star! A year seems like more than enough time to fall in love with someone! I think Id be a little upset if those words hadnt been uttered in that amount of time!

 

That being said, the fact that the phrase hasnt been vocalized doesnt mean he doesnt feel it... I mean, I highly doubt it that a man would be dating a woman for year without loving her... or at the VERY least... knowing that it is heading in that direction.

 

It seems to me that he is just terrified to say it. Which many men are!

 

Are you in love with him? If you are, then just say it! I know its scary, and you have to put yourself out on a limb, but it doesnt seem like he's going to take that jump first. Sometimes you just have to grab the bull by the horns.

[sharonrose98]

I know it sounds like a long time. In the beginning we were not seeing each other as often.

 

I am in love with him and just hesitant to say it and scare him off. I really want to. Maybe I will. We will see what happens next time I see him.

 

We both have kids(me three and him one) and that does not bother him. I can tell he is a very caring and loving person from listening to him talk to his son I just have to get him to let it out with me and open up. Any suggestions on how to approach the subject.
