Not the expected response

By teejayrn - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I told my boyfriend I loved him for the first time. His response was to smile and pat me on the head. FML

Oh how ever so funny and witty you are.

19- Sorry, meant to thumb you up but podgy fingered you down :(

Yeah you know what he IS a keeper. Unless he cheats and treats her like shit. So he wasn't ready to say "I love you", what's the big deal? Maybe he does love her and it's hard for him to say it. Maybe he needs more time. But no no, dump him because he's not quite ready to say "I love you".

Congratulations your bf treats you like a dog, is it because your a bitch? hah double pun

Well hopefully you two have been dating for quite some time or you might have scared him off.. But if that's not the case then just give him some time :) saying I love you to your special someone is a huge commitment. And maybe he's not fully ready to say it back.

Maybe he's nervous?.. Not everyone acts the same nervous. Maybe he wanted to say it as well, just couldn't get the words. A pat on the head doesn't instantly make you his dog.
