When you don’t say I love you back

Women throw the I love you’s around a lot more than men do. Women say it as a greeting, a good bye, a filler word. But when men say it, it’s because something has just happened that has reminded them how much they love you, and has stirred those feelings up right now. So they want to say it right now. So, when you don’t say it back—even if it’s just because you forgot to and hung up the phone before you had the chance—they immediately wonder, “Is something wrong?” They’re hoping for a connection when they say, “I love you.” And when you don’t say it back, it feels like a missed connection to them.
