No, but he doesn't have to, I know in my heart he does. He shows it in his actions,
his words (Not I love you) but other ways he relates to me. As a woman, I can feel the chemistry between us, and after 7 years I have become comfortable with our relationship as it is. Intimate and loving but we both uphold the boundaries. Do I wish he would actually say the words, sure. I would accept it as genuine, just as I hope he accepts it when I occassionally express it to him, usually via email. It wouldn't change things though because as I said, I already know he does. He says he cares for me and I cant expect any more from him as a professional T. But I can say it all I want: I LOVE YOU DOC!
