I love my girlfriend with all my heart, I know it. She has been very supportive of me and she is the only girl I've ever been with that has challenged me to be a better person. She is also the only girl that is worth reconsidering some of my personal behaviors and actions for. It seems that she is unsure whether or not she is in love with me though. I don't know how to act, it just makes me sad because I am sure but she is not. How can I approach this?

some would agree to this time-tested wisdom: "love is patient, kind, never selfish, not quick to take offense...." also, a counselor once told me "there is no fear in love." if you love her, don't be afraid of loving her despite her not being able to say that she is in love with you. it took me 2 years of dating my high school sweetheart before i could say, "i love you." if she has a history of neglect or abuse or abandonment issues...it may take her time to know exactly how she feels about a person. i hope this helps you some.

Some peole have a difficult time with getting in touch with their feelings. This is something that only they can do. I read a book called "Hiding From Love" a couple of years ago. From that book I could see the ways I was sabatoging my own happiness and running away from love rather than to it. It really helped me to see the dificulty I had in receiving love.

I think that if you give your g/f time, patience, show yourself to be reasonably trustworthy ( no one is perfect!!! that's why I said reasonably) she may respond with the love you desire from her.
The best of wishes to you....
