Most guys aren't particularly great at showing their affection through their words. Whilst us girls are perhaps more inclined to tell a man how we feel, I seem to think most men find it hard to express their feelings.

By the way, if you find one that is, don't ever let him go :biggrin:

Next time he says "I like you", you should say "how much?", then he'll have to think of something good.

my guy is strange like that he will say he loves me and i no he does but we've got other ways of saying it i wont say how coz that embarrasing lol dont worry im sure if he didnt like u he wldnt b with u thats what i tell my self.
if he didnt love me he wldnt b with me.
i think its something to do with how its not manly to show ur feelings or something men are crazy werid things but then thats what they think about us women so who knows but i really wouldnt worry and if u r just ask him!!! :smile:

If you need constant recognition and admiration then you have some screws loose. Just be happy that you're going out.

i wouldnt say i love you unless i really meant it.

but then again it depends on each individualn the circumstances. he might just have been trying to b playful.

if he was not, he may not have been taking u seriously, or he might have taken you for granted. be careful.

I don't think the OP was getting at that.

It's just nice sometimes to know that you are cared for and appreciated, even if you know your partner does care for and appreciate you.

Relationships are partly about satisfying your partner and if for the OP to be satisfied that means to receive verbal affection, her partner should at least try?

OP > talk to him.

Actually, in my opinion KNOWING that the other person loves you is just as important as loving them yourself. That is, if your bf tells you that he knows that you love him he's basically flattering you and saying "you're a really great gf, because you really make me feel loved and I am the luckiest guy on Earth to have you love me."...Puts things in a different light, eh?

Next time he says "I like you" don't say "how much?" because that's just trying to get attention. Say "do ya?" in a playful way and tickle him or something...or say "Oh, really? I thought so..." in a jokey way...he'll appreciate that you don't make emotional things too girly and that you can joke about them and next time he'll open up with his emotions more...

Good luck!

I'm sorry but after 3 weeks what can you really expect...you have to wait for the walls to come down and affection to show. Don't think he's going to be all mushy and gushy with emotions.

My boyfriend wasn't at all affectionate at first, like Anon.#2 said we were playful with it.
Even after three years affection is never really shown through what we say to each other but what we do for (or to :wink:

) each other.

She could do that, or she could just play him at his own game.

Next time he says "I like you" just say "I know".

Then see what he does :p:

Isn't it a good thing that he knows you like him. Unless of course you don't like him that is?

its quite odd how this came up.

i quite like someone atm, but it wasn't till last night where it occured to me that he may like me to.

to cut the story short i was trying to convince him to do something, and he said to me.. you probably have your selfish reasons. i was like, wtf selfish? ME? and yeah.. then he said something or the other, and i called him bigheaded, and he goes me? bigheaded? don't deny it, i like you and you like me, its the truth.

he either meant, i like you (friend) or i like you ( +++++friend)
