Ladies, eight reasons he just won’t say ‘I love you’


So you met Prince Charming several months ago and the two of you kicked it off like a wild fire. The problem is that while he does everything right by you, he just will not say the three magic words. Here’s a look into possible reasons for your predicament;

1. He isn’t ready for the expectations – For a women, the three magic words from a man usually come with expectations. Some men know this. Your love interest may love you but he isn’t ready to fulfil the expectations that you will have of him should he say it.

2. He is afraid of rejection – Yes, men just like women are afraid of rejection. Prince charming may be into you but he isn’t sure about where you stand. His not saying it may be his way of protecting himself from rejection.

3. He doesn’t know how to say it – His heart maybe bursting with love for you but Mr. Right just hasn’t found the words to express how he is feeling. Not all men are as good with words.

4. He has been hurt before – If your man is coming from a relationship where he was hurt, then it will be hard for him to say the three magic words. In fact, he will only say them once he feels completely secure in this new relationship with you.

5. He is waiting for the perfect moment – If your love interest is one of the romantic types, then he probably is waiting for the perfect moment to bare his heart to you. He doesn’t want to say he loves you during sex or at another time when the mood isn’t right.

6. He is waiting for you to say it first – Kenya is still a largely patriarchal society. Prince Charming probably thinks that admitting his feelings first will make him vulnerable. He loves you but is probably just waiting for you to say it first.

7. He’s never said it – It could also be that your love interest is not expressive. Maybe he feels but he has never said those words before. If this is the case, then the situation is unlikely to change. He may never say those words to you.

8. He isn’t feeling it – Sometimes the reason is simple, he is just not that into you. He may like you a lot and he may enjoy dating you but he just is not feeling the love emotion. His not saying it may just be his way of staying honest with you.
