my bf claims to love me but never tels me “i love you”

[lean ridge]

i confronted him abt this, he said that he loves me a lot and that he loves me sm except he doesnt say it spontaneously and is not affectionate over text. he only says “i love you” when i say it first. it was never him who said it first. why does he not say it to me?

Sometimes people wanna take relationships slow, or it could mean he could be shy try follow up about how you feel.

Does it show it to you in different ways?

some people just dont show affection verbally, they weren't raised to that

love languages is kinda a thing
