MIXED MESSAGES

I got back with my ex of two years but he still hasn’t said he loves me

DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER two years apart, my ex and I are giving it another go.

But his mixed messages are driving me mad.

No issue is too small, too large or too embarrassing. Read our personal replies here.

One minute he’s talking about me moving in and the next he’s taking days to reply to my messages.

I know he is really busy with work, but part of me wonders if it’s a sign that he’s not really sure what he wants.

He’s 27, I’m 26 and we met at school.

The first time we were together we said “I love you” within a matter of weeks.

But this time we’ve been together for two months and he still hasn’t said it.

I know he’s the one I want to be with, but I’m not sure it’s the same for him.

DEIDRE SAYS: Your boyfriend may be trying to take things slow, or is looking for the right moment to say, “I love you”.

The fact he hasn’t said it yet doesn’t mean it’s not coming. You’re still in the very early stages of your relationship, so give it some time.

But the only person who knows what he wants is him, so ask.

Have a conversation about where you both see this going and what you need from each other to make it work this time.
