Question - (6 May 2008) 4 Answers - (Newest, 8 May 2008)
A female United Kingdom age 18-21, anonymous writes:

my boyfriend keeps telling me he loves me but i dont know if he means in as in he is in love with me or just cares for me. He is 5 years older than me.

for example, the other day we were talking and i made a really dumb comment and felt like an idiot but he just laughed and said "dont worry, i love you for who you are" and hugged me.

A few days ago i wasnt very well and fainted at work (he works with me in a pub) and when i came round he was hugging me and i looked at him and said "i think im going insane" and he laughed and said "i still love you" and hugged me again and kissed my neck and things.

Yesterday we were chatting about random things and i said i wanted to change my hair and kept saying things like "dye it blond" and i said "no way, why are u so insistent on my dying it blond - would u like me more that way" and he laughed and kept saying things like "yes i would love you more with short blond hair" or "actually i would love you even more with short pink hair".

i dont know how to take the "love" comments. i thought the first time you tell someone you love them is by actually saying "i love you" so they know what you mean - but this is my first serious relationship so im pretty clueless. also, whenever he says it, its when we're joking about.

by the way, i dont know if this makes any difference to your answers but i dont know whether i love him or not, i know i am definately falling for him but im not quite there.

he loves you for definate. There is no denying it. He might not know it yet but to be honest it osunds like you're picking holes. Men take their time to say i love you just like that but when they drop it in the conversation every now and then its their way of letting you know that they do but they're not ready to admit it yet without feeling like a twit.

I think the relationship is still to new to know yet. He seems charmed by you, and this is typical in the beginning of a relationship. He is slowly learning more about you, and he finds many things about you warm to his heart.

The love thing might just be his way of letting you know he will allow you to be you, kind of a comforting acknowledgement.

Don't let this worry you to much now, and just enjoy his company and be yourself.
