The L Word

By Humiliated & Heart-Broken - 30/07/2014 04:41 - United States - Fort Worth

Today, I told my boyfriend that I loved him for the first time. The L-word is probably one of the only things I'm scared to say, so what did he do? He stared at me blankly before making a farting noise with his mouth and asking if he could go get Chicken Express for dinner. FML

He probably was just taken by surprise.

Whether its FYL or YDI depends on how long you've been dating

time to get some serious relationship talks..

It might scare him even more than it does you. Try talking about it if you can and it should come out in the next few days :)

Sorry but your boyfriend sounds too immature. Dump him and move on. Someone like #12 who could express their feelings of not being ready to say it back is mature enough to handle something like that. Tell him to go fly a kite and play "army men" with his friends because that's how he is acting, like a 10 year old

... Really? It is a serious thing to most people and very hard to say or receive for some, me being one of those who it is hard for. It is certainly not grounds to break up with somebody you emotionless fool.

It sets the groundwork for the entire relationship. If you're not mature enough to at least express your lack of ability to acknowledge what was just said, and try to go "look over there, birdie!", then you shouldn't be in a relationship at all, because most of the time the immature way he (or she) handled the situation speaks volumes of where they're at in their life as a person and if they're actually looking for a committed long term relationship or just a short fling or not. You, and the OP's boyfriend, need to grow a pair and look at #12 as a healthy, mature human being.

And if you're too scared to say it back, at least say "Thank You" instead of changing the topic, and be open about discussing it instead of dismissing it. Most of us on here are mature adults, not 16 year old kids who are afraid of their shadow and what would happen if I ask her out on a date.

so he chickened out to chicken express..

It's probably scary for him too, but that's still a inconsiderate reaction. If it really upsets you, then I suggest you talk to him about it.

Or he's just a guy and he's just hungry

Maybe he was scared to say it back so he changed the topic?
