It almost sounded like he was trying to convince himself when he said ILY

Question - (6 October 2013) 2 Answers - (Newest, 6 October 2013)
A female Ireland age 36-40, anonymous writes:

This may sound silly but:

My boy friend of one year usually says "love ya" or "love u" either to me or in response to "I love you" from me. He said it first after six months by the way. However, tonight I kinda jumped on the bed, straddled him all smiley, happy and childish and kissed him and said I love him; he grabbed me and said: "I love you, your my ' fa'(my general for everyone nickname), I really do love you."

Now I'm sorta weird , part of me says he's trying to convince himself??? What do you think? - he's rational and logical and not super emotional (I'm the opposite!!)

Aunty Babbit agony auntI do feel sorry for men sometimes.

We women can be a tricky gender to understand :)

If they don't tell us they love us, we over analyse it and assume they don't love us, if they do tell us, in a deep and romantic way, we over analyse it and assume they don't love us but are trying to convince themselves that they do.

I think your boyfriends reaction was genuine and he does truly love you. He was telling you properly.

Stop worrying and enjoy this. You should be floating on a little cloud of happiness today because he said what most women long to hear someone say to them at sometime in their lives.

If he's a logical, rational guy and not super emotional, as you say he is, then believe me, he meant every word!

I hope this helps AB x

You just explained it. He's rational, logical, and not super emotional.

Don't make an issue of "how" he said it.

Save concern for if he never says it again, or doesn't show it!
