Question
If I told him again that I love him, how would he genuinely feel?
Answer
Three cards came up, and all three are air — head, not heart. That's the shape of the answer.
Past — The Devil, upright. What binds this isn't romance; it's a pattern you two already know by name, and it's the reason the words have to keep being said. A chain you can both see and neither has cut.
Present — Page of Swords, upright. If you say it again now, the likeliest thing it lands as is something he has to *think about* — alert, a little guarded, maybe slightly irritated at the repetition, definitely not a moment of melting. That's the Page: receiving the message, weighing it, keeping it at arm's length where he can look at it.
Future — King of Swords, reversed. If that pattern continues — say it, wait, ask, say it again — the trajectory tilts toward him going colder and more clipped, not warmer. Reversed King of Swords is a man protecting himself from softness by staying in his head. Warmth that's repeated and unanswered tends to register as pressure, and pressure makes this exact person withdraw further into reasoning.
The cards don't tell us what he genuinely feels — they don't report another person's mind. What they do say is that this isn't a question the cards can settle, and that asking it a third time is the one move most likely to make the answer harder to get.
The honest read, conditionally: if the next time you say something warm to him, he comes back with something — a question, a joke, an opening of his own — then the block isn't coldness, it's fear of saying the wrong thing back, and it's worth going slowly. If he answers with nothing, or changes the subject, or gets short — that's the Devil and the reversed King lining up, and repeating the words will not move it; what would move it is changing the shape of what you offer him.
One step, in the next 48 hours: say it once, plainly, and then do not ask him what he felt. Write down one thing — whether he brings it up himself in the next day or two, and how. That note is the only honest evidence you'll get about him; everything else you'd be guessing.
