just because you don't like to say i love you first mean that your not ready for a relationship?

Is has nothing to do with whether you're ready for a relationship or not. I don't blame you for not saying it first, I'm not one to put myself out there either. But since you never say it first your boyfriend may think you don't truly feel that way towards him. If you truly love him it wouldn't hurt to say it first once in a while. Plus, now he'll appreciate it more since you never do it.

Remember that love is a decision, not an emotion.

• True love is when one person wants the very best for the other.

I was very serious about a guy in a nearby Marine base. About a month before getting out, he asked for my definition of love. He then said something like "So, if a person really loves someone but knows he isn't the best person for the other one, he should break up?" I thought we were talking philosophically and didn't realize he was talking about us. I answered,"Yes, that's right. Love is wanting the very best for another person." I thought we might be talking about God's love. (The definition of love remains the same.)

He knew that he had no relationship with God, but that I did and it was very important to me. When he left the military and went home, he told me he would be coming back and wanted to marry me. I think he was totally honest with me, but thought a lot about what I had said and decided that **because he loved me** the best for me was for him to drop out of my life. I believe that he loved me very deeply and wasn't emotionally able to just break up.

If you're in a commited relationship, what exactly are you puttin out there by sayin it first? That makes no sense.

well I personally think that a guy has to express his feelings first. cuz I thought girls don't like that. if he doesn't think you love him. what I would do is just randomly when you feel the moment tell him that you love him. see what he says. please answer mine:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgK3F...
