Has he just told me he loves me?

Name changed as I’m 40 years old and feel completely silly!

been dating a man now for 6 months. It is going absolutely brilliantly.

I am definitely falling for him. We’ve gone through and come out the infatuation stage and I’d say we are at the vulnerable stage where we are opening up to each other.

The words have not been said yet but they definitely linger in the air and I feel it in the way he looks at me. The last week he’s made a couple of comments that made me think. We are both keen gardeners and whilst sat in mine he asked what would happen if we one day shared a garden? He’s also mentioned looking forward to a time we can wake up together (all years away but it’s nice to know he’s thinking it too)

Anyway. I’ve woken up this morning to the love heart ❤️ Emoji from him. No words, just this. I must say my heart did skip a little beat! Is this telling me he’s there, in his own way? Or am I completely overthinking this? He often sends 🥰 but never the heart.

thank you and sorry for being so pathetic 🤣 I want to send it back but don’t want to make a fool of myself!

Thank you all.

He lost his wife 3 years ago to cancer and he has two children 11 and 13. I have a 4 year old so we are taking it very slowly and carefully. This is the reason it will be a while for it to progress but so far so good.

I remembered he bought me flowers when I saw him on Friday and he’s never done that before (unless you count tomato plants from
the greenhouse!) 😂

he is an exceptional father to his two children and it’s definitely what made me fall for him. He had a successful career, financially secure (as am I) and we share the same hobbies and interests. The sex is excellent and the conversation never dulls. We have so many plans and I am so excited!

I will keep you updated on if he days the actual words. I don’t imagine thy would be easy for him to say even if he was head over heals
