Members here are very good in giving advice and opinion here so I thought I asked for one.. Here goes .. I live in Germany and I chat and met a wonderful man on this site but were an hour flight away. After chatting here for nearly 6 weeks we decide to meet up so he came to Germany for few days and that went well and after 2 weeks he came again , then after 2weeks I went to see him in UK, that went well too and we both had a lovely time together.So I suggest that we meet up every 2 weeks, and he replied maybe we take it a bit slower. So at first I think what happen there did he get a cold feet..you see I'm a very affectionate and loving person and after 2 months I told him I love him , because that how I feel for him I want to tell him and show to him what I feel. But he said to early to say the word Love.. So what is love , how do you describe love? And if you're in a long distance relationship how often you should meet up and what I should do to keep this wonderful long distance relationship I describe love something you care for someone , your happy when your with him, you look forward to do things together..
Sounds like it's going very well. Him saying to take it slow may be a money concern. Flights get expensive. And if he doesn't say he loves you may be ok. He may just need more time. Also he could be caucuses because of a recent bad relationship. My advice is to stay calm. Let him come up with plans to move forward. Don't panic if it stays the same for another month.

It is always tricky to determine when it is the right time to say the "L" word.
Try over-using it....I LOVE what you are wearing tonight! I LOVE this restaurant! Oh, I love this meal! I love watching TV....and I love you....not such a big deal! But, if you show little passion for life and then drop the "L" bomb....different story!

unlaoised: Love is a much overused word. Real love is caring about someone else's wellbeing and happiness above one's own.
Question...did he suggest you take it a bit slower before or after you told him you loved him?
Sorry for the hijack...but yes, love IS an overused word. Then again, when you DO feel the emotion, how does one determine when it is the right time? It is never an easy call....but an overuse can allow for a way out....just saying. Then again...they might say it back and all is well!

You're intense, more intense than he is. Let him set the pace for a while? Right now you're out of step and need to adjust to each other. Does he read the forums, by the way?

A double-edged sword, isn't it? I'm not sure it even has to be said but then I'm an "actions speak louder than words" kind of person.
They may well say it back but they may not...and then?

All I have ever done is speak my mind and my heart....so far, so good! If actions have come before the words, then the uttering is merely a confirmation of what is already known!

It's wonderful that it's worked out for you but not everyone is that forthcoming about their emotions. I wish they were. That's exactly what I meant, a confirmation more than a bolt out of the blue

PS...the clip is gorgeous
Tis sad people are not forthcoming when they feel love. It is such a wonderful emotion...

Take your time...let him say it to you when he is comfortable...he is probably a bit shy with the word love...anyone who has had a break up will want to take it slow...perhaps curb your enthusiasm...let him take the lead...
unlaoised: It is that but perhaps, in the OP's case, he was a bit frightened by her declaration
Hell...a grizzly in full kill charge is frightening! To hear someone say I love you? Far less frightening! Then again...people have a tendency to overthink and apply implications to the statement of I love you....if you are not at the same level, thank them, kiss them and SPEAK to them...I really like you, but I am not sure I love you,...but let us continue the journey...saying you LOVE someone is NOT the same as asking them to marry you...it is a declaration of enhanced emotion and a next level of caring...nothing to get freaked out about...unless they are one knee with a ring the first time they say it!

I agree.
It's being happy the other got their fill even though you might be left a little hungry, or being happy for someone's growth even though it means they may leave you behind.

You're right, of course but that's why I asked the OP if he wanted to cool things down a bit before or after she told him she loved him. Not everyone communicates as well as you do, Moose...or has the emotional maturity
