Depending on how long you've know each other, trusting, caring and communication means a lot. BUT, here's the but... In society today, saying ''I love you'' can get old, especially when said 100 times a day.
For someone to take this serious it depends on:
How you say it.
Where you say it.
When you say it.
The circumstances and gestures are important also. When you are walking and he has his arms around you on a wonderful starry night, holding hands.. an I love you is OK.
But, for instance, if you just had a little spat and you are crying while he is on the way out the door.. saying that you
unconditionally love him then does not sound right - it sounds clingy, needy and insecure.
To love someone
unconditionally usually does not even have to be said because by then, you know each other well enough and the bond is strong enough for you both to know how strong the love is between you. When that time comes, believe me, you'll feel it and be secure in the knowledge.
That's where you come to the 'unexplainable' part. If you feel you constantly have to explain things to him, then you feel that he is
not really listening - so you go around in circles of confusion. You should not have to do this to yourself.
At your age, you should be laughing and enjoying things together, even if it is just a walk in the park or a good movie, or getting together with friends and having a good time.
You should not worry if he knows that you love him.. if he didn't care for you he'd be gone, so stop being so insecure. Plain and simple, if he didn't want to be with you, he wouldn't and there is nothing you or anyone else can
make him do.
However, if you have the feeling that he does not respect you and just spends time with you when he wants, and does not care much about when you want to share time with him and how, I can understand why you might be insecure.
By what you wrote, there is not much we can go by, as
JB said. And as
Tal suggested, be good to each other, learn to trust and enjoy the time - don't rush things and you'll do fine.
So, please tell us, why you think he does not believe you, and why you think you have to really roll over and make him the center of your universe.
By making him something, I'm sure that
411 probably meant a nice tasty casserole or cake, or brownies - something you know he would like. Or if you are into crafts, make him a belt or a wallet - something like that. When you are together with someone and really 'love' them, you should know what their likes and dislikes are by now, if not, then there is still a lot you need to learn about him before you profess your undying love...
As I said before, you should be having fun at this time in your life, not stressed about a guy that you'll probably not even remember 10 years from now. I'm not saying this guy is not Mr.Right... just take time and don't rush things. You are just getting started in this partnership..
Good luck, and keep us posted.
