What Does It Mean When He Doesn't Say "I Love You" Back?He cares about you deeply but isn’t at a place where he feels comfortable telling you that he loves you and truly mean it.

This doesn’t mean it can’t happen.

This doesn’t mean that he will never love you and say it.

He isn’t at that point right now.

If you have a good relationship with him and have no reason to be fearful for the relationship, there is a good chance that he comes to tell you that he loves you in good time.

Oftentimes, two partners fall in love at different stages in the relationship.

He doesn’t tell you that he loves you back, worried about your expectations.

He worries that the moment he tells you that he loves you back, you set expectations of the relationship that he is incapable of meeting at this time.
