writes:So I've been on and off with this guy for about half a year now. It's complicated because he is three years older than me. So I'm in high school and he goes to College in another state. We are friends right now but we act just like people would in a relationship. We are very close and I would consider him my bestfriend. But there is one thing I'm not sure of; Does he love me? Recently when I was drunk I texted him saying I think I love you but I don't know and his reply was I think I'm falling in love with you. I didn't remember that text and he told me about it... I once hinted at it and he said I don't think it's time to say that yet... I just don't understand what he's affraid of and I don't want to push him at saying something he doesn't mean. He never goes a day without shooting me a text though. he once said "My day feels off if I don't talk to you." Also we have never had sex because I'm a virgin. I told him I don't want to do anything until I'm 18 and he said he's fine with that because I'm worth the wait. We even talk about future marriage, kids, what we want in the future.... Everything. Help me out what's going on here?

reader, anonymous, writes (18 July 2010): You can't be just close friends and expect him to say he's completely in love with you, just because you feel you both act like you're in a relationship together. On top of that, you haven't had sex yet, and it's a long distance relationship at the moment. He may be okay with the wait for sex, kids, marriage, etc. in the future, but at this point, he's only a friend going through the motions with you, and he most likely feels slightly discouraged because of the long distance.
When he replied to you with, "I think I'm falling in love with you", that's great, and all you need to know to rest assured that he cares about you to the same extent. It's probably the LDR that's causing you to question why he doesn't express how much he loves you more, as well. Long distance relationships have a tendancy to wear on peoples' patience and faith, so don't give up on him. He never goes a day without texting you and says his day feels off when he doesn't talk to you, so unless he starts really ignoring you or dissing you, he's going to stick around and care for you for a very long time.
