So I posted this in a different forum, but...

Since this is the 20s something group, I thought maybe this would be a good try. I got pregnant at 19, had my son at 20, I was with his father til just over a year ago. I got out because he was abusive and controlling, I couldn't take it anymore so I left. I didn't get into another relationship because I was afraid, I still am afraid even though I am in a relationship now. But we have been together for almost a month now and I have never been treated this way before. I wasn't sure how to react, but I treat him like I treat everyone; with respect, care, and love. I show it and he does the same, I want to tell him that I am falling in love with him, but I am scared that he will leave or run, but then if I don't say it and he loves me, I will never know. What do you think I should do? Wait or say it? I will tell you that last week that when I was at his house, he made a smarta** comment and I asked what and he said nothing I love you and he said twice more after that the next day, but I was in such luck that I didn't say anything. Now I feel like poop for not saying it back because I want to, I just didn't think someone would say that to me again.

My heart says to say it, but my mind is just cutting out my courage like crazy! How do I bring it up to him?

idk your whole relationship but mine, like i said i was really shy, so i actually wrote a letter telling mine that i wasn't going to say it out loud till i was absolutly sure and how i really felt about him. he understood and wrote a letter back and after that we slowly became more open with each other. i might add i was 20 at the time.

If you love him, and he has told you that he loves you, then say it! Don't be scared. What do you have to be scared of? He's done the scary part of saying it first.

Just say it in an intimate moment while your cuddling or something. My boyfriend now fiancée of 8 years said it to me first. And I paused and didn't say anything. I just smiled and kissed him. 3 weeks later I decided I was ready to say it too, and I just said I love you. It shocked him and we talked about it. We were young then, only 17 but we meant it. And we have fallen farther in love ever since.

Okay! So this may seem teenagish, but it's so adorable! Today, he came over so we could go to my dads to set up his camera for hunting, we decided to go out for lunch after that and we went out for chinese. In his truck, he opened his fortune cookie and it said act, don't thin, so he tells me, ok your pants are coming off when we get back to your house. lol I read mine and it said conscience is a man's compass and he said that means my dick lol :) So anyway, we get back to my house and we were going to have sex, but before I said something about no one loving me and he said yes, so I asked who and he said me. Then we had sex and as we were laying there, I said, want to know something so he asked what, I said I do too and he said, what; so I told him, Love you. :) He made a smarta** comment and said no you don't :) but it felt so right and my heart is finally at peace and I think it went over well. I just hope this lasts and works out for me because I need a good lasting relationship. :)

 I would just ask him one day, "when you said I love you, did you mean it?" or something like that.. It's worth a shot! GL

I am actually kinda freaking out and it's because I'm overthinking everything and I'm not going to say anything to him because I don't want him thinking anything, but it's just freaking me out because I said it right before he left for work.
