Although you were resolute in saying that you love him, he didn’t say he loves you back because he isn’t ready to.
This is a guy that is cautious or guarded when it comes to making such a serious declaration.
It doesn’t mean that he doesn’t love you.
Rather, he wants to be sure that you are someone he sees a future with, before making a declaration of love.
He worries that if he were to say that he loves you back, this would trigger a whole new set of expectations on the relationship.
Until he is fully aware of his own emotions, he doesn’t want to be misleading in telling you that he loves you back.
Even though you are now worried that he doesn’t love you back, don’t be too quick to judge him.
This leads to negative behavior on your part, as your emotions constantly change from those of happiness to those of sadness whenever you are around him, whether he did anything wrong or not.
This ruins whatever momentum you have built up with him so far, harming the prospects of a long-lasting, loving relationship.
In lieu of this, judge him based on how he has treated you so far.
If he has been kind and attentive towards you, it isn’t wise to suddenly discard all of that good behavior because he didn’t say that he loves you back.
Remember, it’s possible that this is a guy who isn’t quick to say that he loves someone, given the weight of making such a statement.
As aforementioned, a guy like this wants to be absolutely certain that he feels the same way about you before taking that leap.
It isn’t out of the question that he totally loves you.
But, he is exercising caution until he is crystal clear that he is.
As long as his kindness and attentiveness towards you hasn’t changed, even though you have since told him that you love him, he is indicating that he wants to keep his relationship with you going.
He is being patient, assessing his emotions, waiting for the right time to say that he loves you back, if he believes it to be true.
Do not act any differently towards him, now that you have said that you love him.
Acting negatively towards him would give him the wrong impression about you.
An impression that you are not who he thought you were.
That you are now showing him your true colors as a person.
Furthermore, this negative behavior influences him into thinking that this is what he should expect if he were to get into a long-term relationship with you.
This makes him cautious, and that much more reluctant to say that he loves you.
Though he has feelings for you, he soon surmises that it is to his benefit to stop dating you.
Keeping all of this in mind, it is critical that you don’t change your behavior to one of negativity.
Be persistent in demonstrating your amazing personality, and be patient.
It won’t be too long before he says he loves you, and is ready to take on the new expectations that come with making such a declaration.
