Q & A

Q:  I recently told my boyfriend of eight months that I love him but his response was just, “I know”. What does that mean?

A:  It may mean that he’s not ready to say it but given time, he will. Or he’s just not the type to say words of affection out loud and prefers to show his love in other ways. It really depends on the dynamics of your relationship – how he treats you, how far into future you both have talked about and so on.

Give him time and space. If the relationship remains the same or he tries in some other ways to treat you nicer (like bringing you out for a special dinner), all should be well.


Q:  Is there such a thing as spending too much time with your boyfriend?

A:  The word “much” is quite relative, isn’t it? If you feel comfortable with him and both of you don’t mind being with each other most of the time, it should be ok as long as you don’t neglect your friends and family.
Conventional wisdom would say to have some personal space and time for both of you so you can have your own life outside of this relationship. Thus, it is a balance you need to find.

A:  I’m in love with my boyfriend of 10 months and we’re really happy together. How do I know if he’s The One?

A:  There is no sure-fire way of knowing. One thing is for certain – you are both happy together now. Why don’t just go with the flow and enjoy the relationship without jumping straight into planning too far into the future? You might scare him if you do. Take your time getting to know each other better, finding your identities and paths in life. As you grow more together, you will know better whether he is the right one for you or not. You should trust your instincts but with a pinch of rationality thrown in.
