    Really? Dont say "I love you" at first?

    Im NEVER going to have a relationship :frowning2: I use those three words more than any other three words hehehe...

    This one may seem stupid...
    But talk things out. Communication! Express your feelings, make sure he knows what your thinking, what you want, what you need, ect. Strong communication is key to making any relationship OR friendship last :slight_smile:

    Communicate. Always. Don't fall into the habit of playing bullshit games like "I won't text him back because yesterday he didn't text me back". If you're angry/pissed/disappointed with him, let him know. Not by screaming, but by telling him calmly what's bothering you. And tell him when he's doing something right, and making you happy, too - positive reinforcement is a wonderful thing. :slight_smile:

    No, you're being smart. :slight_smile: But honestly, if you feel comfortable doing so, I'd tell him that. "I really like you, but I think it's a bit early in the game to start using the L-term."

    lol. If he feels the same way about you, he shouldn't be "freaked out" about you being happy while being with him. In a relationship, you have to be yourself from start to finish. Which means, being your normal self around him, even if your normal self is a little odd and you're afraid it might scare him. You need to make sure he likes you for WHO you are, not what you ACT like around him. Hiding things like your true personality and mannerisms from him will only shut off the relationship.

    Good for you man, I wish I was in that position :thumbsup:. This is good advice here, and very important. There is no relationship if there is no real you to be in it.

    Be yourself, obviously he likes you. Don't pretend to be what you think he likes because it's only so long that someone can keep up that facade.


    I find it ironic that you put the L-term, instead of the L word. Was that on purpose?

    aww I'm SUPER happy for you! :icon_bigg

    Some advice I'd give is: Don't be too clingy and don't overthink and overanalyse
    everything, he likes you or he wouldn't be with you! :thumbsup:
    That's just from my experience, you might have that under control.

    I'm so guilty of that. If they take 30minutes to text me back, I take about an hour to respond :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I apply this rule to almost everything. I don't appriciate lateness!

    Don't worry i don't say "i love you" at first either! In my opinion people drop the words "i love you" way to much. The last person i dated said that after only a week and it annoyed me! Anyway good luck with him!
