text: now my boyfriends tells me that if i dont say that i love him he doesnt want to be with me...?!? my b/f said the i love you and now he expects for me to say it back .  we havent been together long, just couple of months, i want the feeling to grow and not just say it to keep him around.  the only thing is that i care so much about him and he posesses these great qualitites about him that i am falling in love.  but now he gave me "space" so that i can figure my feelings..... he hasnt called me in 2 days and i know he wont...  i dont want this relationship to end just because i didnt say it....  but i dont want to say it if i dont trurly feel it.... if i loose him , it will be another fiasco relationship.... i just dont understand he has to understand that you weren't ready to say the i love you thing yet.  a lot of times real love is just understood you don't have to say it constantly.  for some reason he isn't comfortable unless he's told by you that you love him (maybe from his past mistake relationships)...  hopefully you'll figure out what you need to do shortly.
