Ok ladies I'll give ya a shot at this one... What should a guy say to a woman if she says "I love you" and he is yet to that emotional level? Thanks for the reply' JT' |
I had to say it, if I didn't someone else from GD would have snuck in and posted it anyways.
Allow me to add a  SP1's right...if you don't say it (and you should NOT if you don't FEEL it) she'll know and the night is gonna get long...pack a rucksack.... |
Yikes.
Lighten up.  It was a comment made in jest. If something like this happens in a relationship, it would need to be addressed. The "L" Bomb changes everything. |

This reminds me of something my son told me the other day. His friend was basically asking him the same thing and my son jokingly told him to say "yeah, I like you too". The guy actually said that the next time his girlfriend said "I love you" and boy was she ticked! Note - these are high school seniors. Just be honest. For God's sake, do not say it if you don't mean it! I usually just smile or say "I know you do" and change the subject. |
I want in on this too...... has She already knows if you didn't reciprocate the sentiment.... Just move on... If she asks you, try to explain it without insulting her..... (some guys aren't good at that) |

If she wigs out if you don't reciprocate then she is a weirdo. Love is something that is felt individually. It's nice when you get it back when you feel it, but you should never "expect" another person - who is their own being - to feel the same feelings for you that you feel for them. It's a wonderful thing that happens when a person can give love without expecting it back. That, in itself, is true love. My suggestion is not to ignore her statement, but to take it as a compliment of her feelings for you, and at least acknowledge it to whatever level you can, even if you think it's something you think she wouldn't want to hear. To ignore her feelings would be just plain rude. Her expecting you to feel the same is also rude. |
