would you tell him you loved him?

I love my boyfriend and have an urge to tell him so. But I don't want him to think I have some sort of agenda and I'm worried he might not feel the same. (I once told a boyfriend I loved him and he didn't reply, which was mortifying.) Would you just go ahead and tell him?

Tell him. Be brave.... you never know! It worked out well for us.

Hpw long have you been together? If it's one week it might not be appropriate

If you love him and you want to tell him, tell him.

If you dont want to blurt it out all at once try some of these:

"Ive a feeling Ive met someone very special"

"Youre the best thing thats happened to me in ages"

"I really like it when you ..." (fill in appropriately

"I think youre a really nice person"

OMG I just realised ... my ex said all of these to me. Thats probably not a good omen!

Sorry alyson, but "Ive a feeling Ive met someone very special" - vom!

Just say it, I reckon.

Jesus. Never mind the faffing around.

Do you think he feels the same? Telling someone something like that in those circumstances is always going to be a risk, but then, even being in a relationship in the first place is a risk is it not? I think if you say it and really mean it...and if he knows you well and feels the same, that it can't really go wrong.

However.

If he doesn't feel the same. If you are really in your heart, worried that he thinks you might have an agenda or if you think he might run a mile, then I'd hold off a bit and see how it goes.

I dunno, I sort of think instinct serves you well in times like this. Is there not a saying that is something like "In love and war, there are no rules"?

why do you need to say it?

can't you just enjoy it?

ToughDaddy · 15/05/2009 23:03

Safest to enjoy it; if he is (slightly) immature you might scare him away. Just depends on what sort of bloke he is. Lots of young blokes like a tease and a challenge so weigh it all up.

Whatever you do just stay confident in yourself which many find attractive. My twopence
