I have been in my only serious relationship for about a year and a half now. I care about him alot and I know he cares about me too, however he still hasn't straight out said he loves me. Mind you, I havent made a big deal of saying i loved him but any sort of romance and he doesnt say anything or he makes a face as if to say 'thats gay!' I think i pick up on the non verbal love signals from him (making sure im ok, little messages throughout the day, willing to do things with my family etc) but part of me thinks he is holding back and that maybe we are not on the same level of seeing a future together.
So am I over thinking this too much or should i give him more time to build confidence in verbally saying he loves me?
