We've been dating for about 5 months now. He hasn't told me he loves me or anything. But he takes me out to dinner all the time whenever we have the chance, when we get the chance to snuggle together at night he always tells me that I fit perfectly in his arms, "like a puzzle" (his exact words), he tells me that I’m one of the sweetest girls he's ever met and that he's lucky to be my boyfriend. When we were having sex, he told me that I’m way out of his league and that I’m too good for him, he always holds me tight at night when we are sleeping together, he kisses me on the forehead when we are sleeping, he tells me he loves things about that me I don’t ("I love your nose", etc.), he told me that he can see me being really good friends with his mom and us cooking together (I LOVE to cook... and apparently so does his mom), he always calls me babe, honey bear, sweetie, hun, baby, etc. tells me he misses me, whenever we get into fights, we try to talk things over but then eventually he says, "let’s just let this go...it’s not worth it..." he hasn’t said the actual THREE WORDS that I want to hear though... but I feel like his actions say it all... I just don't understand why he hasn't said he loves me yet if he acts like he does all the time.

Is he scared or something? I think I'm VERY clear with him on how I feel about him (even though I haven't said "I LOVE YOU" to him yet) so it shouldn't be a scary thing to him... OH! But important point... he has said "I Love You" while we're having sex a few times... just never outside of the bedroom... what do you MEN (and I guess women as well) think??

I think you are slightly crazy! After all of what he says and does to show you his love, you still want him to do what?? Think of all the guys you could be with who would say "I love you" day and night and wouldn't mean a word of it.

You definitely have a keeper here.

5 months is not a long time. Maybe he is very fond of you. Why do you need to hear it, you haven't said it either. Why?
He treats you good, what is the deal?
Give the relationship some time.

OK, I actually NEVER thought of it that way! Thanks for the new perspective! I really really really appreciate it! You have a really good point! :)
