    When a man you are having sex with tells you that "love is over-rated", he is telling you that not only does he not plan on marrying you (or anything else long term) but that you are just a "friend with benefits" (that translates as he is using you for sex while looking for something better).

    And if you are not having sex with him but he still says that, that means he has no plans for you in his future and he is just keeping you in reserve until something better comes along.

    So to answer your question, no he does not love you. He is using you. And if your parents knew, they would tell you to kick him to the curb. Find a man who does love you and will want and see a future for the two of you.

    Good luck!

    Wow, he is drawing you such a clear picture that he is not IN LOVE with you. This is borderline saying I want out. But maybe he is not quite going that far. But he is making it clear that he is not happy with you right now but he is still around for whatever reason. He probably cares for you a lot but definately is NOT IN LOVE. The feeling you have when he says those things hits your heart. Deep down you KNOW what he means but you decided to ask someone else for an opinion. Trust your gut especially when someone makes it so fairly clear.

    He might be going through a phase but it seems like most likely, he's thinking about breaking up. Sorry to say this but guys don't just say they love you and then take it back in couple of months. It seems very fishy to me.

    Yes he still loves you but he wants to take the relationship slow. He also is probably tired from all the stress and ups and downs. Just wait until he gets out of the little phase and take it slow.
