Yes, I believe I would. Six months really isn't that long and people move at different paces. Sometimes, people are in love and don't realize it. Sometimes, they are afraid of making a committment; maybe they've been hurt before. If you make it to a year and he's still not there, then you might want to reevaluate.

I f after 6 months he is saying that, I wouldn't be very optimistic for the future. What on earth does that statement mean anyway, "could love you"? I think he is just not as into the relationship as you hope, and maybe he is sticking around for some other reason. I think I would want to find someone else who DID love me, not just "could".

Yes! I was told this by a guy once and we are now happily married and having kids!

I might, but I certainly would not feel very secure in the relationship, so I might tell him we need to see other people, for awhile. Scary thing is, what if he NEVER loved me, and I wasted and months, then years?

I know your looking for the ladies to answer, but I have to jump in on this one. The reality is, People do fall in love at differnt paces, however after six months, I think most people would have a good idea about their feelings. The comment "COULD love you" just doesn't sound promising for him to feel any different about you in another six months than he does now. Every relationship should be evaluated on its individual basis, I'm not sure your getting what you want out of this relationship. If you love him enough to try and hold on to the hope he may fall in love with you,.. you have a lot of strength and faith that he will magically oneday fall in love with you. I'm here to tell ya' I just got out of the same exact situation you are describing only I was the one hearing "I COULD love you", but she wasn't there yet", and she became more and more distant everyday and not calling me for long periods of time or calling me back and sometimes for days!, I think you may already know what I'm telling you and what I'm about to say. .....Well, I found out why she didn't feel any stronger about me than what she did, She was seeing another guy behind my back. I should have read the warning signs way before hand, but I didn't want to see it, I suspected it, but didn't I want to believe it. I finelly did a little invetsigation and confirmed her cheating activity. I hope it's not happening to you. It's heartbeaking and I'm still not completelly over it. Good luck in love!

That would depend, if I was in love with him then I would definently stay to see if it worked out or not...

Oh what nonsense, and what an insult. I'd slap him hard and slam the door.

I'll have to ask my fiance to double-check, but it's entirely possible that I hadn't said that I loved him yet at six months. Maybe I had; I'm not real sure when I said it. I know he said it way before me, though. If all other signs are promising, I think it's ok to wait a little longer. I know in my case, I didn't want to say it just because he had; I wanted to know that I meant it. And it worked out well for us.

Then go ahead and tell him "well, i COULD commit, but I am just not there"

I don't know people...I would be curious to know that persons idea on what love is....I never knew it was a destination to which a person could 'drive' to and fro at will....
