Boyfriend didn't reply to my first time staying 'I love you'

Ive been seeing my boyfriend for almost 6 months, we've been official for 2.5. We're both mid twenties. Today I told him I loved him for the first time (after a really good intense sex session.) He didnt say it back, but he kissed me passionately for about 5 minutes after. We didn't mention it again but it wasnt awkard between us.

Any idea what this means?

The exact same thing happened to me with my ex girlfriend.

From a male perspective, post-sex both males and females are flooded with hormones which I think can sometimes distort how you feel about somebody. (Quite a few times after a one night stand I've felt "Wow, this girl is amazing, I really connect with her". I hesitated because I wasn't sure if she was saying it with genuine passion and meaning, or because she was just overwhelmed with feel-good hormones. I didn't say it back. I didn't say anything, I just kissed her. It was really early on in our relationship (maybe 4 months?) so I was a little bit scared by the fact she was telling me she loved me.

But if you've been together for 2.5 years?? Maybe he's not at a place where he feels ready to say it. And I think that can be a good thing

2.5 months, not years. From the male perspective and havng been in that situation, is it not awkward that ive told him? He wouldnt feel pressured now?

He doesn't 'love' you. Yet.

Clearly he is fond of you.

Seems a bit immature for someone in their mid twenties to say nothing in response.

But if everything else is good then no need to worry at this stage.

I think he played it perfectly with a kiss. How else would he respond to I love you, if he doesn't feel it?

Nah.

He would have said it.

But the kiss clearly shows his fondness for her.

Love is the next step.

He isn't ready.

Either 1) Break up with him
