[quote=Cogiteur][quote=Anonymous]If you didn't tell her, why not?  Is it because you weren't sure whether it was love?  Or were the circumstances inappropriate?  I think this happens in men and I'm trying to understand it.  Have you ever been in a relationship or friendship where you knew you were in love with the woman but you never told her?  Or have you been in a relationship where the woman tells you she loves you, but you don't say it back because you don't return the feeling?  What would you call the feeling you did feel if you wouldn't call it love?[/quote]

I've been in love only twice in my life. The first time around I was in college, and feeling bold, and just took the risk and told her.  The second time around things were complicated, so I danced around it, implied it, made not-so-subtle references to it, but never actually told her, "I love you."  She knew it, but how I wanted to say the words ...

Being in love is both wonderfully exhilarating and utterly terrifying at the same time.  And to actually tell someone that you love her is to render yourself completely emotionally vulnerable.  No one likes that feeling, [i]especially men[/i], and for some the risk of humiliation or rejection or a broken heart is just too great.  [/quote]
