I am a Libra dating a Libra man, we refer to each other as boyfriend or girlfriend. We have been dating for just about two months, which I know is not a long time but my feelings for hom have grown tremendously over these two months. I find myself saying i love you to him but only in my head, I can't get the words to come out of my mouth. Ideally I would like him to say it first so that way I know he feels the same way. He tells me that he enjoys spending time with me and that he likes me. I just don't know if I should bite the bullet and just tell him exactly how I feel or wait until he says it first.

Well instead of waiting until he says it first (b/c he might be waiting for YOU to say it 1st), how about waiting until you feel that he FEELS love for you first. It's understandable that throwing the L bomb can be nerve wrecking, especially if you fear rejection from the other person. BUT, what normally helped me in past situations was me trying to get a feel of whether or not my partner would more than likely give me the response I was looking for if I were to tell him that I loved him. Generally, you can feel when someone has a lot of love for you, just based on their actions, how much of themselves they give to you & by the QUALITY of time the both of you spend together. If you're so afraid to say it first then just wait a while & allow enough time to go by until you can feel in a sense that he feels the same about you. That way your chances of rejection and/or him not saying "I love you" back will be alot slimmer. When it comes to men, they fear the same things we fear; they fear going 1st. Don't end up making things so complicated that the both of you will be 2 good people holding out on revealing eachother's true feelings. If you're afraid that you'll blurt out the L word too soon, continue to build more of a foundation with him until you feel comfortable enough saying it to him, regardless of how he'll respond. You cannot control the other person. You'd be suprised; he might be feeling the same way you're feeling. Don't put so much effort into NOT revealing your true feelings b/c it'll drive you crazy. If you want to say it & feel that you've learned enough about him, grown to admire him for all the RIGHT reasons & feel that he's worth it, then just tell him how you feel.

I think you should look at his actions to determine if he loves you,cuz the worst thing that could happen is him saying it and not mean it. Also try putting yourself in his shoes, someone that he seeing blurt out "I love you!" it might scare him.So give it sometime the relationship is young, slow down and enjoy each others company since you 2 are libras ( Sorry for Sounding cold)

you are stuck between a rock and a hard place. on the one hand, libras hate pressure. they hate feeling needed, feeling like somebody expects them to do something or act a certain way. on the other hand, libras like to appear as mild as possible. they don't like to make declarations of love. and male librans are usually worse when it comes to this, as female librans are usually more opinionated and inclined to speak our minds than those vapid prettyboys (they aren't really, but they tend to cultivate that impression).

so he'll probably never say that he loves you, even if he does. i'd watch him carefully. libras have this look they get when they're in love. all head tilts and stupid grins.

Im in a libra/libra relationship and I was the first to say " I love you" I didnt plan it out, I didnt mean to say it. We were just in a loving embrace and I could feel how much he loved me. So, you should at least wait till you feel like he feels the same way about you.

It was kinda funny cause the first time I told him I loved him I said half of it and stopped thinking "omg what did I just say." Hes was like "what did you just say?" and I knew I was caught so I just came out and said it, "i love you!" Luckily I was right about the feeling and he said it back very sincerely. I actually think he was a little relived I said it first.

I wouldn't tell him since I told mine and it ruined what was going on at the time. We are trying again but it is very slow and he isn't going after me as aggressively. I regret telling him and that was my rule in the past to not to say that I loved them first. For some reason this Libra man has got me in knots and on cloud nine. My previous mate was a Libra man as well. Just my luck I fall for another Libra. The previous Libra man I waited for him to say it and he was at a point of obsessive love.
