I guess my question is he has done a lot for us, I feel he is in love with me but he never said it. Am I right about he is in love with me? Or he is actually not? If he is, then why he hasn't said it yet and when he will?


I know no one can really know but I hope maybe someone with similar experience can give me some advice.
If you feel like you're in love, and you think he feels that way and things are going well, say it. I mean there's no right answer because it's highly dependent on your and your boyfriend. He's not introducing you as his girlfriend to his kid and his family if he's not serious. He just may be waiting either for you to say it or waiting a little longer because there's a kid involved.

The "easy" approach to test the waters is to start a conversation that leads down that road. Dance around it a bit to get a firmer idea of where he is. Tell him you feel "very, very strongly" toward him. Tell him you're amazed at how fast you're "falling for him" and pay attention to his response. If he feels the same, he'll probably hint towards it just as much as you are. If he's hesitant, he may not be there. The best advice that anyone can give you is to read the room. If you love him, you probably have a pretty good idea of where he stands and can respond accordingly.

If you prefer the man say "I love you" first, then I guess you will have to be patient and wait until he is ready.

The three women that have told me they loved me have all said it first. No rules here, just my experience.

ooooh all these gender specific, made up rules .....For christs sakes, just say it first. And if he doesn't say it back, then you have a reason to come here and complain about it.
