How come my girlfriend doesnt say i love you (muhal kita) much really?

saying I love you is kind of a big deal, you don't say it unless you really mean it. so i guess she's just waiting for the right moment to say it. . you can be a totally different person when you're not visible to them. I guess she'll feel comfortable saying it after actually spending time together.

You hit one key word correctly - "cultural". Filipinos are not as expressive when it comes to personal relationships. Be that as it may, there is no reason for you to doubt her sincerity. Continue to give her time and space, hoping that she'll open up soon. I hope this helps. Good luck!

repeat after me i love you i love you i love you mahal kita mahal kita mahal kita hindi ito bola (im serious!) keep on saying it cuz you mean it if gf dont say exact words its ok too. "me too" same as saying i love you too!!!!!!!!!!

Tell tale signs of your conscience is accurate. Listen to your conscience. You need to come to Philippines and get to experience the culture,the people of every social economic class. For some filipino's, they welcome foreigners with sincere blessing. Another class of filipino's see opportunities to take advantage of you. If you don't have enough experience with the people and culture I advise you to equip yourself with intelligence information about the people,the culture,the economy,certain regions,transportation system, politics,history,native language,their twisted Laws and last but not least personal experience. TAKE NOTE: Don't you ever come to the Philippines with your nostrils wide open. I know some will not like the way I present this but its true and they know it.

Filipinas rarely say "mahal kita" especially in our own language, but that doesn't mean that they don't love you. One reason is that we don't want to overuse it. Nowadays, people say 'I love you' to anyone even if they don't really mean it, so it kind of losses its true meaning. We say it when we're already very sure of our feelings. I also agree with one of the answers above. We tend to express and show our affection more in works/actions rather than words. Just be patient, she'll say it when she's ready.

dats some filipnos attitude...(some) i think shes just shy... im kinda dat way sometimes... and sometimes,its all about pride...

I wouldn't be really worried about it. My husband gets upset with be because of the same thing. But with me it is really hard to express my feelings and we are married. I think it is because of some hard things i went through as a child and teenager and those close to me that I should love to either died or left. So I would be easy with her and just let her know how you feel and show her that you love her and are willing to stick by her until she feels comfortable to say it more.

Did she use to say "I love you" before she met your parents? I don't think it's cultural, it depends on the person as well. She might not be use to saying it or she might not be that into you yet. My friends and I don't have a problem saying it if we really love that person. Why should you be shy? If you love someone shouldn't that mean your comfortable enough with the person to express what you feel?

It doesn't matter how much she says it, just how much you feel it. People express themselves differently, but you feel it just the same. Her conversation should tell you how she feels about you. If you get the feeling that she's not being honest with you or that her feeling for you have cooled, that's what you go on. Would you rather have her say it after an hour full of fluff? Would you rather have a meaningful conversation that makes you know just how much she cares for you, with those words? "I love you" can mean so much, or nothing at all...you decide.
