what would be your reaction be if a guy tells you that he loves but you are still not ready to say it back?

Tell him that you're not ready to say it and put that sort of label on your feelings. But that you feel for him. That you care about him. When my man first told me, I din't say it back. I told him That I feel for him. It made me really nervous. I told him never to say it unless he means it, because I would never say anything empty.

Sure. But the thing is, love is a very strong word and the guy may not be ready to reciprocate. If he says he doesn't think he's ready to say that, do not be discouraged.

I'd be most responsive if the confession that he liked me was blurted out accidentally, against his will, or with uncertainty and a bit of embarrassment.  (So endearing!) If the guy took me out to a movie or restaurant and then told me, as if he'd planned the whole thing, I would probably reject it. In contrast, if we were walking to the train station after hanging out at the art gallery or library, discussing Plato, UFOs, eugenics, Michelangelo and politics the whole day... and he suddenly grew quiet, and asked, "What if I told you that I really like you?" and then blushed and looked away...\n\nYeah, I'd fall for that.

I would not count on it.  Unless he tells you he loves you and you feel that it's genuine, then he really does love you.

I think that maybe you scared to say it. You don't want to let your guard down and get hurt. Whatever the case may be if you do love him you should tell him no matter how hard it is for you. Love is not something you want to let slip through your fingers because you couldn't tell him how you really feel. How badly would you be hurt if he left you? Not showing him the proper love he deserves may push him away or make him want more out of the relationship that you aren't will to give to him. I f you love him don't let him go, it will be way harder to let him go that to tell him how you really feel.

no, if you can't tell him to his face that you love him then you actually don't love him. Loving someone means you have to feel comfortable around him. If he can't take you seriously, then he don't have alot of trust in you. Just try it and see what happens. Whatever you do, please don't write it

He probably means it if he treats you right and looks into your eyes when he says he loves you. If you have to say it first thats not really a big deal, he might just have a hard time showing his emotions.

It's probably a good sign if a guy has a hard time saying "I love you."  It could mean that he puts a lot of importance in those words.  To me, saying that means that I'm starting to permanently commit myself.  Plus, words are kind of cheap, and sometimes a simple "I love you" doesn't feel like it says it all.

I'm a guy, but I think that if someone does not want to make a commitment to you, it may be time to move on.  I would ask why he feels that way...is it indecision, fear, immaturity, wanting to play the field or does he not love you enough?

It is hard when you are not ready to accept a negative response. Afraid of being rejected. But it is in trying to find out the truth behind your question if he love you. But if you truly love him, just tell him that you love him. You might be surprised of his rewarding reply, than not telling the words and regret later on. Just say "I LOVE YOU".

if u love him then tell him so\nand he still loves u \nthen he'll come back\nbut if he has stopped loving you\nbecause you rejected him \nthen its just fate\n\nbut try telling him first\nas there's always still a chance that\nthere's a lingering feeling of love for u

I have been successful, but I've waited until I felt really right.  There is a differnce between LOVE and INFATUATION.  You might have said "I love you" to a guy, when really you were just still in the infatuation stage.  If you have been with your current boyfriend for almost 2 years, I think it is time for you to say it.  He might just be waiting for you to say it first.  Maybe he feels the same way as you do about saying I love you.  Either say it, or actually TALK to him about it.  Be like "I really feel like I love you, but I don't want to say it and make you uncomfortable.  How do you feel about it?"  Hope this works!

It'll be obvious its not like something that is a secret if its true love, and if he says it with ease its probably because hes used to saying it but if he says it with hesitation and you know him to be the one taht holds back in relationships its straight up how hes feeling. Best of luck

id say it wouldnt ...because now a days "i love you" is flung around so casually its hard to tell which ones are sincere...but then again..if you barely know the guy...then yeah...hes just saying it...or he hasnt heard the expression " theres a thin line between love and infatuation"....

If he really loves you then your heart would instinctively know---at present you are doubtful----very natural---only time will reveal the truth----impatience is natural but worth to find true love---- best of luck

I feel like dating that long without saying I love you is trouble. Do you not want to say it? What's holding you back? You never know what kind of insecurities, fears and past experiences inhibit a person from doing what they really want, like moving in with you, having your child, or saying I love you. But if you take away fear, insecurity, and break the chains, and you still can't say it? Well....then you might need to look in your heart and ask yourself if you really love this person.
