I totally see what you mean and agree on all accounts ironclad Send a noteboard - 26/01/2010 08:53:16 AM
I told her that I do not take an "I Love You" lightly and I won't say it unless I am sure that I mean it. I know this isn't what she wanted to hear, but THAT is not something I am going to say just to make someone else feel better. It is too important and means to much to be tossed around as some kind of emotional sop.

Same here.

(Ladies, the first anniversary you SHOULD celebrate is 6 months. Anything earlier is just rediculous. FYI)

Exactly.

So I don't know what to do now. It's only been two months, I don't love her but I do care about her. And I know that one person putting oneself out there in a relationship like that does put a strain on the relationship. But I won't say it unless I feel it and mean it. I don't know what else I can do. I have already explained this to her, but it didn't seem to help.

What do I do now?


Good question. You seemed to make your point towards her quite cleary. Maybe repetition will work. Tell her (again) you care for her and see a long term thing in this, but that it takes love to grow. How people can even say "I love you" after only months is beyond me.

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.
