I feel sorry for you OP! I know the feeling! And definitely she could have been more subtle about it! Hopefully she loves you back and just is afraid to express her feelings! Let's hope so! :)

It's like a guy who wants the relationship but evades the question when it comes to marrage. She may be into the relationship but not ready to move it up a notch. Talk to her about it.

Wtf. Is she 9? Does she not understand what "I love you" means? She must be fun to be around...

Mayhaps it's time to abandon ship bro

That would make me feel like an ass....sorry op You deserve someone nicer then that

Everyone calm down... Maybe she has never had anyone say it before? It is a big deal, and yes she reacted poorly. Leaving the room is a bit extreme (and hurtful), but I'd say that we should feel sorry for him but not judge her. It sounds like they need to have an honest talk about where things are going.

Maybe she's just as shy about it and didn't know how to react to you saying that.

How old are you? That sounds like its something that happens in middle school.

You mean ex-Girlfirend

When I finally told my first gf that I loved her, she just awkwardly smiled and hid her face under her blanket and chuckled
