A few word man..........more talking can not show man love you, maybe he just for playing.So few word can not show he do not love you, if he said love you, believe him and give him a private space.

your situation is quite complicated. did he told you the he loves you? if i were a guy, of course i'll let my girl feel how much i value her. if not by action, then by my words. . But of course, showing how much i love someone it way better if its in my action.. In your situation, maybe he has another way of showing how he loves you.. [;

Yup a bit complicated. I think you must meet him face to face and discuss about this matter if you really love your relationship. Sometime we must talk as an adult. If he still like that give him time to change and if he doesn't change at all, wave your hand at him.

Some men are of few words men and they hardly tell that they care or love the other person. It seems this men belongs to this category. But such person if once has said that he loves you then I think it is easier to believe him than those who keep showering their affection to every female.

Some people have much difficulty expressing feelings and he sounds like one of them. How does he treat you when he is with you? Try not calling him and see how long it takes him to call you. To me it sounds as if he is insecure and maybe does care about you but not sure how you feel about him. It sounds as if you are like that too. Maybe and hopefully the problem is simply that you two are not communicating well. This is something that as workable.

I totally agree there are some men to express how they feel for the women in their lives. There are times when my boyfriend doesnt call me for a few days and doesnt respond to the messages I send him, so I try not to let it get to me. I just remind him that I love him, and I ask him how he feels, and he said it is something you do not say when it comes to making me feel special so maybe that is your boyfriend too, maybe its something he does not says.

Not all men like to talk a lot, myself included. Some of them do make exceptions for their girlfriends but again, it is an individual thing. If he is of a shy/introvert nature, it will take him some time to open up with you. 3 months might not have been enough for him. During this period, if he has not forced you to get physical with him or something like that, then I would suggest that you give him some more time. A man's nature can't be used as an evidence. It is very much possible that he has not felt love before meeting you so it will take him time to realize how much he loves you. All the best and be patient

Some people find difficult to express opinion, including the men. The feeling of love is also not an easy thing. You should try to be patient with the type of man like that.

I agree with you very much.keeping patient is important at this moment.of course,maybe you also can feel somthing from what he really does,not just what he says.

well, i am also the type of woman like you... i like attention and romantic man... unfortunately, my hubby is not a romantic and sensitive man... he hardly says he loves me by words... but he shows it by his actions... and i learn to accept him and be happy with whatever he does to me... it makes a whole lot of difference in my marriage life when i start to learn to accept my hubby as who he is instead of trying to change him to become a different person... take care and have a nice day...

I believe that only time could tell if he really loves you. I see that there is lack of trust between the two of you because you don't believe his words that he loves you. Trust is a very important part of a relationship. Not all guys are very sweet in relationships but it don't mean that the person doesn't love you. Sometimes men also want to take a breather when relationships get deeper. Maybe it is just his personality. I believe that what could make a relationship work is understanding, and not looking too much on the faults of each other. I'm not saying to be a fool but try to know each other better as the relationship progresses by letting them be. Let the person show you who he really is so that you could also gauge your compatibility. if things bother you, you could slowly bring it up in a very nice conversation. Why not tell him in a joking manner that you want some affection and wanna hear sweet words from him? That would make him think.

Well, some guys seem to be like that.. they aren't expressive in showing their real feelings.. i guess you need to be more patient.. trust your instincts.. you're a woman and i bet you can feel if a man truly loves you.. i'm glad that my hubby's a sweet person.. he always makes me feel loved and cared about...

I know how you feel, I been with my boyfriend for 2 years now, and sometimes he goes days without calling me, and he doesn't have his cell phone now because he lost it, so I can't even call him to see if everything is ok. But when we do see each other or talk on the phone he never says anything romantic, he jokes around a lot and makes me laugh, but he never says anything that I would like to hear. But I guess that's just the way he is, he tells me he loves me, but he sometimes acts like it doesn't bother him to stay away from me and not talk to me for 5 days!! After so long I kind of got used to this, but sometimes I do feel lonely and neglected...

hmnn.. You know what, every girl has their own instinct, we can feel if a guy really love us or just lying to us. I think this is the time for you to think about this. use your instinct, give him another test for you to see if he really loves you tell him to do something for you. I think you really need to get to know more things about him, maybe its just his nature and its a common actions to him. I know someone like that too. There's a possibilities that he just said that he loves you because he knows that you like him. If you found out that he's just lying then just get him out of your system,move on. A cheater doesn't deserve to be love and its his lost to lose someone like you. Show that he made a terrible mistake if that time comes. :-D Most of all prepare yourself on whatever may happen.

Well, ask your self when he said that he loves you do you believe him? Can you believe him? Why stay with him if you are not happy. There are lots of fishes in the ocean.

Each man has some feminine characteristics and each woman has some masculine characteristics. Some men are too masculine and some woman are too feminine. Also there are men with more than a fair share of feminine tendencies and some women with more than a fair share of masculine tendencies. It looks to me that as a woman you are too feminine but your boyfriend does not seem to be too well disposed to react to your too feminine demands. You have to understand and accept a man's temperament better, particularly if he is not endowed with reasonable feminine characteristics. Such men - will not be inclined to be too verbally expressive - will expect his partner to understand his love and affection more by his demeanor and gestures and less by verbal expression - too much of romanticism may not be his cup of tea. - He may be afraid that he may lose his prestige in your eyes if he displays too much of flirting tendencies. - He may be a bit too proud to initiate courtship maneuvers and may think it is infra dig. - His value system might be somewhat oldish and he may expect a restrained and not-too-overt behavior from his would-be-wife. So it is up to you to LEARN to read your man. If your basic demeanor is to expect and accept a bit of artificiality (in his view!) in his behavior towards you, you may get disappointed in life. But if you are shrewd enough to really read him, understand him and reduce your expectations from him, perhaps, he might turn out to be a great partner to live with in the long run of peaceful married life, than in the short run of transient romantic life.

Seems to me that he DOESNT really give a care about you sadly to say. I mean i SO get what your saying about the phone conversation aspect of things. I too like to talk in a conversation , but all i ask is give me the same amount of feedback if not more you know , it DOES it tire some when ur talking your lungs out on the phone and the person on the ohter side just gives yoou one liners " Yeah " " Sure" and the number one thing i truly hate is whenever you express like alot of detail about ur day or whatever the conversation is at the time and the repsonse is just " Yeah , i dont know " like you should just hang up the phone by then lol ... but since you said from the beginning of the relationship that you like attention and its a major factor in the relationship he has no choice but to accept that if he wants to continue to go on with you but it seem he doesnt..i would say let him go and find someone else who wants to give u all the attention in the world.

it's hard to say,he may really love me but I don't think he is that talktive,he maybe too shy to say the sweet things to you as when I going without with my girlfriend,I always act like a decent person.for your complicated situation,I think you could give him a hint what you likes more and what you don't,or you could just tell him directly and see how he act in the future.

Sorry to hear that, but i think he is really not into you. By the way you said it, i am sure that the guy is not really in love. If a guy is really interested in a girl, he will do anything to impress her and whatever it takes , he will do it. But about the conversation, it is so dry, i don't feel any connection between you and him as more than friends, but i think only friends. A guy who is in love will show his love for you not only through words but in action like in writing, giving and so much more. Even if not all men are expressive to their love, some don't talk much, but at least show interest and care to the person they love.
