Do you ever feel "obligated"... (9)
Never thought about that------ This thread is Archived ------
Maybe they mumble it in fear of rejection, or that you won't feel the same way...I myself don't feel obligated to say that in return, especially if I don't feel it.

Thanks...but no, I mean, they mumble it in response to someone saying, "I love you," so the fear of rejection wouldn't be an issue.

hmmmmm, maybe they are feeling obligated
Maybe they have commitment issues, and in saying it makes them feel that they are in some way commiting themselves. Which is'nt reality....but hey that's a good question

Love should never feel like an "obligation" to say in response, or because you are guessing someone loves you.
Love grows naturaly, it should never be rushed, if it is, is it really love then?
Sometimes a person maybe shy or even afraid to say I love you, if you think this may be the case, express your own feelings first.
Making that clear that your emotions are real and there are no expectations for the feeling to be returned...love is a gift that the other will give you when the time is right.
If the feelings are mutual, you are more than likely to know.

Thanks...I have experienced this a time or two in my own life and have spoken with other women who have, as well. Just wanting to get others' input as to the different reasons why someone would mumble it. I have no qualms whatsoever making my feelings known, once I have decided what they are, even if I know I'm taking a chance at getting hurt.

I agree with what you say, as in being honest you let them know, and let the cards fall where they may

Never feel obligated to say anything you don't mean or feel. To say 'I love you' shouldn't be taken lightly, but sometimes, it is uttered during love-making thus having an entirely different concept.

If someone kind of mumbles "I love you" and doesn't say it with "conviction," do you think that automatically means they don't love you? Or...well, what DO you think it could mean?
