Maybe you should brake up with her for it is not right that you continue to be with her even you dont love her. She thinks you love her for continuing your relationship but if I were you, you should tell her now for it is not right that you get married without loving her. You will be unfair to him. She will get hurt ofcourse for breaking her but it is good than she will suffer for the rest of her life.

If you don't love her or are not in love with her by now, you won't be. It's time to be honest with her and split up. That's the only way that either one of you will be free to pursue true happiness. Love is something that happens; you don't make it happen. It can't be manufactured. Either you feel it or you don't; and in this case you don't.
This girl sounds as if she has many good qualities, and you may love her as a friend. But you are being unfair to her, as well as to yourself, if you are not honest. I hope that you haven't been saying "I love you" to her... Those words should not be said unless you truly feel it in your heart. Get the courage to be honest and move on, for both of your sakes. You will meet someone else down the road who you will truly love, and she will also be someone you can take home to meet your family!

3 years is a long time. she's expecting that you really love her. and i know she loves you.
i hope you can tell her frankly about your true feelings and that you don't really love her. it will hurt her for sure. but it's better to be hurt that expect too much from you.

It's best that you put an end to it, because that girl might actually love you very much and after a 3 year relationship, I wouldn't be surprised if she comes up with wedding plans. If you don't want to hurt her feelings, then end it now, before it's not too late.

i've never been in to a relationship but i have love. well, in your case, i say, you should be honest with your girl and with yourself. it's hard to pretend that you love someone. and its reaslly unfair for your girl. she is being honest with you and everything but you on you part is cheating on her. i could say that you are cheating to her because you don't love her and that your just their for your relationship. be honest with your self and in that way you could be honest with your girl.

don't worry, you will love her by time, to b honest, you will not, but you will get used to her or already u have got.I think either you love her from first sight or you don't love her. Sure there would be respect and adoration but love is something else.

you should have not stayed in the relationship if you really dont love her why did you let it stay that long? I would suggest that you tell her the truth i know it would hurt her the longer you would keep it from her the more she will get hurt. She needs to know the the truth

i have never been into any relationship, so perhaps my idea might not sound good to you.
what i feel that you should look forward to this relationship, even though you don't find love in it as of now. this is because your partner loves you and she'll always do that no matter what....and perhaps you'll also develop love for her in due time

I think after 3 yrs., if you don't feel anything now, you probably won't in the future. Your don't marry someone for your mother, you marry them to make you happy and be together. I wish you best of luck. Maybe you should talk to her and see how she feels.

First thing, be honest with the girl that you are with - it is not fair to her otherwise.
Then...
Find a friend. Find a good friend that you can talk to. Don't go looking for a girlfriend or looking for a "beauty queen". Just look for friends. Relax about it, go to places that you really enjoy and make friends.
There's some great places like Border Books in which there's a little cafe area and live performances - such as poetry readings, writers speaking, musicians, and singers. Libraries are great for taking lessons and for an array of special events.
Find something that you like and just attend. Be sociable and find friends. Don't judge a person by the outer cover - you may miss out on your real love.
Once you make some friends, do things together - not dating, only as friends.
Your love is really your best friend and your best buddy. You just need to find her and the best way to do that is go to events, performances and lessons that you personally would enjoy.

If you don't love her then tell her. Let go of the relationship. Don't keep it just because she is the kind of girl that you can "take home to mama." You are being unfair to yourself and to her. Three years is already a long time to evaluate your feelings. You only live once don't spend the rest of your life waiting that love will grow in a place where it can't. And besides free her so that she will find the man who will truly love her.

You don't need to know how to, no one knows how to.
You can't learn to fall in love and no one can ever teach you how to.
Your heart will one day feel warm again my cold friend, one day you will learn to appreciate things and one day you will fall in love.
And when you do, you won't be able to explain the feeling...

you should tell her your true feeling to her, if you really dont love her, you'd better break up, dont play with her emotion, the longer you stay with her, the more you hurt her.
But I wonder if you dont love girlfriend at all, why did you start the relationship with her?

There is no use continuing the relationship if you dont love the person anymore. It is unfair for the person and for yourself. Have you loved her in the first place? Coz if not then you should not have entered it in the beginning, coz right from the start it was bound not to prosper.
End it now and wait for the person whom you would really feel the love. Dont find love coz love when the right time comes, will find you instead.

You should try being away from her. Go on a vacation, tell her its a business trip if you dont want her to know. Then observe your inner feelings if you cant live without her. People say that you will only know how much a person means when you lose her. So try that. Maybe you'll know the answer.

falling in love is a natural feeling, there are no exact formulas, it will just happen, just wait for it. Sometimes it will happen in the least expected way, or time. Love is a mystery, and feeling it is also mysterious.
