text: he loves me, and i like him a lot, but it's just not love yet...? i can't dump him, he's beyond sprung about me, if i dump him he'll be miserable and he'll cut, he did when he thought i dumped him once. i don't want him hurt, i was really sad when he was hurt before. i care about him a lot. and i love cuddling with him. i like him a lot but it's just not love. i don't know what love is yet.  he's not saying he loves me to get in my pants or anything, it's not like that, but he loves me and i don't know, i'm confused, please help me. you didn't mention how old you were, i'm in the same situation i'm 27 and i think my ex-gf gave up on me by saying she just wants to be friends, that's the easiest way out for you, think about your future, do you have a future with him? does he have goals? could he be a good father? if you can picture yourself with him and happy in the future then stay with him, if not then just tell him you want to be friends that way he won't be let down hard
