how do i know...

You just know.

You dont just know.

And you will never know until he proves it to you with his words and his actions....

time and time again.

He will always be there and he will never hurt you. He always stands by you and your happiness means more to him than yours does, when he proves those things to you over time, thats when you know he loves you.

Wow girl.....

The word "love" often scares guys away.

I would wait a while, but if your not playing games and you really just want to be honest and tell him how you fell then maybe you should just tell him. Do what feels right to you, but I was with my boyfriend 2 months before I told him I thought I loved him, actually he told me first, and its always a good sign when the guy says it first because normally they have more issues with the word. Their mind hears it and goes to:

Love->Commitment->Ring->Ball & Chain->Kids->Responsibility->Death.

Weird, huh?

If you feel comftorable telling him that you probably should. It will be "cleaner" in the relationship than you not telling him because you dont want to freak him out.

I agree, but shes talking about CONFESSING her love, which is better done in voice :)
