How long should I wait for my girlfriend to say she loves me?

Well for one if you plan on marrying her and starting a family with her then your should plan on investing the rest of you life in her and you relationship.

Second you cant rush her. You even said yourself that by her actions you can tell how much she cares for you. Just because she isn’t ready to put it into words doesn’t make her feelings any less. For some people its really hard to say I love you to others. Maybe because of a bad experience when they were younger or it could be simply because that is such a deep imortant statement. People now day toss around I love you like it nothing but it really does have a lot of meaning. Maybe your girl just wants to be completely and totally sure. Or maybe she is just nervous. Your complaining about a year when some people wait several years for their partner to say it.

You need to remember that whether she says she loves you or not, she is still with you, you still love her, you can still be an incredibly happy couple. As signaficant as those three word are, whethers she says them or not it wont change the way you feel about her. So take the relationship for what it is and enjoy what you have instead of wishing for what you don’t and letting the good pass you by.
