I've been with my boyfriend for 3 months, but we'd been close friends for a long time before we got together. I realised that I do love him, but have never told him so, and he has not told me he loves me yet either. I don't know whether I should just come out and say it, or leave it a bit longer, or wait for him to say it first. Is it too soon?
A little subtefuge perhaps?
Try saying "I love the way you....." Whatever is appropriate. eg crinkle your eyes when you laugh, make me smile when I am unhappy.
Might break thie ice towards either of you saying I love you.
