the "L" word
**I tried to do a search on this but found nothing..If someone knows of another thread this is in just direct me there.**
Here's the story...
My boyfriend of over a year is a long distance relationship. We were on the phone the other night and he was upset b/c he was stressed and his car had just got broken into and he couldn't come down to visit. (We live 800+ miles apart.) I said in a half joking way "Mr. Stump I love you." but I meant it more as "I care about you" or "don't stress out because I am here for you." He said "It makes me feel bad that I can't say that back....I mean I care about you a lot and I really really wanna see you but it does make me feel bad that I can't say that to you yet." He took it as waaay more than he should have. I said "Well, As long as you have the intention of falling in love if thats meant to happen, but if you don't think it ever will...then it's not worth it." He reassured me that he doesn't mean he'll never fall in love...just he can't say it now. Now...I am being a female and thinking way too much into this so if someone just wants to reassure me and let me know I am worried over nothing PLEASE HELP!!! I am such a worrier and I don't want to be a waste of time. I do love him but I don't know if I am in love just yet. Should I know after a year?? I don't like to rush things b/c I have been hurt so much before. I do care a LOT for him and I do want it to work.
Also..I am positive there is no one else...I talk to his mom and she always tells me how much he talks about me. We see each other about every 3 months and he has never ever made me suspicious!! TRUST ME..He is so shy and nervous he could never cheat and get away with it!! LOL
Any advice will help me feel better...
