Question hey ! thanks for helping me. lets start off my saying im 16 and my boyfriends 17, my boyfriend and i have been dating for just about 4 months and i like him a lot but i dont feel he likes me just as much. i always text him and want to talk and hang however he doesnt always text back or if i dont text him he wont text me for like a day or whatever. i undestand its not a big deal to talk everyday, but hes my boyfriend i want to talk everyday. it just bothers me how he doesnt wanna talk to me as much as i want to talk to him. ive already talekd to him about it and he doesnt really say much just we dont need to talk 24/7 ect. also i want to tell him i love him but i dont think he'll say it back and i feel like he'll say something like "we're 16 and 17, we dont know what love is" or he'll get scared that im telling him i love him. i hope you can help. thanks !
Answer Hello Brittany.
Okay; I am familure with this type of question; considering I once went through a similar problem, myself.. However; neither my girlfriend nor I were too smart about, and the relationship ended.
Honestly; I think you're boyfriend has the right idea though. He may or may not know this, the same as you may or may not know this. However; you both need your own space.. If you start talking 24-7, every-day, seeing eachother all-the-time, etc., you'll just start arguing and fighting or losing interest in eachother that much as well.
You both need space, and time to yourself to hang out with friends, etc. I'm sorry to say; but you might considering giving him some space. I learned this the hard way, and I was even warned about it before it happend, however, I chose not to listen to the warning. Sure; he's your boyfriend, but he also needs to be treated like a friend and have some time to be with family, friends, etc..
You need to consider doing the same. Take some time to yourself to be with family, friends, etc.. Just try to limit the time you two talk to eachother on the phone, etc. to about every-other-day. Same with seeing him; try to keep space. If you keep persisting to talk to him all the time, he is likely to possibly break-up with you because you you're controlling. Although I myself; have never had this experience, I have had friends & family.
As was as telling him you live him? I'll be honest. It's not uncommon, and it happens in almost EVERY relationship.. People often mistake like for love, and love for infatuation. You wouldn't be a first to tell your boyfriend you love him, and you won't be the last.. However; based on what you told me, you may want to hold off on it for a while. Until things get more clear.
if you have any further questions, or comments, please ask.
