You mean your "ex boyfriend " it's over !! so get over it babe, he's just playing with you & your emotions

It's not over just cause of that... It's pathetic that people can quit that easily in a relationship cause of one imperfection or a bump in the road. Was it an ideal response no, but doesn't mean you give up on him, otherwise there was no reason to say she loved him in the first place.

It's scary for him too or anyone really.

maybe he's afraid to say it too

I don't blame him for putting his love for chicken express first. Girls will come and go but chicken express is forever! Best sweet tea in the world!!

It isn't the end of the world. A guy doesn't have to immediately say it back, neither does a girl. He was surprised by it, and that was his mechanism to deal. Give it time girl [:

Sure, you can say this too soon in a relationship... but his response was very, very disrespectful. I don't know how old you are, but if someone is that immature, he's not ready for a serious relationship. If you want a real, mutual, loving, grown-up kind of relationship, you need to look elsewhere. Being in love alone sucks. The best thing to do is start dating other people casually. Seriously, I know from years of experience.

Just give him time, OP. If it's meant to be, he'll say it. I think it was just unexpected.

Maybe he isn't there yet, at least he didn't lie

He may be that awkward guy, just take him to chicken express and he may say it when you have a mouth full of chicken and when you least expect it!
