My boyfriend and I were best friends for years before we started dating this year. Everyone says it’s weird we had gone so long without saying “I love you”. Though even without saying “I love you”, I feel like he does through his actions and other ways of saying it. He’s a shy guy and he’s also getting better expressing himself in our relationship. He told me once “you’re someone who I like a lot and I want that to grow” I know him well enough to know that he’s a sweet dork lol what do you think
Definitely sounds like a sweet dork to me lol, not everyone is good at verbally saying "I love you" but the most important thing is they wanna make sure that gets across in some form. Sounds like that's just his love language for you! Totally awesome you guys have been friends for a while though before dating! Hope it really works out for y'all 💖
