He cares about what happens to you but is not "in love" with you any longer. Typically it is something men/guys say when they are ready to end a relationship or to explain why they cheated. ps wondering not woundering.

It means, leave the guy.
He is a waste of time and effort.
And why let him jerk you around?

This is just a Boyfriend, I assume?

You are a friend....i love you like a sister.

If he's getting sex from you - stop now. Tell him FRIENDS ONLY. No benefits.

If you can't handle that? Kick him to the curb, close the door and learn from this.

They are trying to spare your feelings and still break it off. They are saying that they don't love you romantically, but that they don't hate you either.

answers from Seattle on

If you're single... it means they 'just want to be friends'

If you're married... it means there's no spark anymore

((Most married people fall in and out of love with each other a LOT... it's part of the natural progression of marriage. It, almost guaranteed, happens at the 3 year mark, which is when the brain stops producing a certain chemical that creates the dizzy 'in love' feeling. (Hint; many many many people who have multiple divorces -or are serial monogamists- under the belt you can look at their history and it's at the 3 year and 4 year mark over, and over, and over. They're going for "dizzy" instead of long term. J-lo is a good example of a celebrity who does that.) It also happens at random times throughout a marriage, but almost always when both of you have been tired for awhile, or stressed for awhile. It's a sign to do some serious work / intentional acts to get the warm fuzzies back.))

Call me cynical. He wants out of the relationship. He wants to let you down easy so you won't bawl your eyes out in front of him and beg him to stay. Guys hate that.

That means that he just wants to be friends, and that he does not want to really have a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship with you.

Best bet, find someone else and if you two were meant to be together, he will come around. Just go w/your gut feeling.

Also, the bible says, when a man wants his wife, he will find her. That means don't chase them, replace them.

answers from Oklahoma City on

When a person falls in love it is exillerating, fascinating, every thing they do is cute, adorable, silly little things make up smile, all kinds of things like that.

When we grow calmer we can still love someone but not have the giddy schoolgirl feeling. I would say if he is your hubby that you guys need some date nights that would be allow you to see each other and not daddy and mommy. It takes lots of work to stay in a relationship, lots and lots and lots. It is worth it though.

I would talk again and re-evaluate where I want to go with the relationship.

answers from Philadelphia on

It's a way of letting you down easy. It's confusing and not fair but he is not in love but cares, likes you. That's it. And until he actually comes out and says, "I love you" don't think anymore than he likes you. That also means don't do anything more with him than a friend, or a mild boyfriend! sounds like he's trying to get that love word in there when he doesn't love but still wanting the benefits. Not!
