Why doesn't He say I love you?

Liz from Texas writes:

“My boyfriend and I have been together seven months he still hasn’t said I love you. We both decided to break up then he said he loved me and he didn’t want to break up after all. He said he might or might not love me and to give it time. Does he want to be with me or not? Will he ever be able to love me? Why didn’t he leave me when he had the chance?”

Nancy’s Relationship Advice:

Dear Liz,

I know it is difficult to hear that the person you love does not return your feelings and wants “time” to see if his feelings turn deeper for you. I know from my experience as a matchmaker and relationship coach over the past 25 years that men will be very proactive when they meet someone they love.

You probably share a great friendship, mutual backgrounds, outlook, interests, etc. but that feeling of love is just not there for him. Perhaps he is sincere about wanting to see if his feelings change, but I advise you to allow this relationship to end as you mutually agreed to. There is such a huge difference between love with someone who knows they are in love with you and being in a relationship with someone who likes and adores you, but does not feel a deep love.

Please take this time to think about what you really want in a committed relationship - the type of characteristics that person will possess and how you will feel in that relationship. These visualizations are very important so you can recognize the right person when he enters your life.

There is absolutely no reason in the world for you to settle for a relationship that does not meet the dreams and desires that are in your heart. Prolonging this relationship will only cause more heartache in the future. Investing even more time and energy into trying to make something work that was not meant to be is not in your best interest - and you deserve and should expect the very best in life and love.
