P&R Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I'm confused--- I let the L-Word slip out today to a girl that I've been dating. We've been going out for 2 and a half months but we're not even exclusive yet. It just slipped out in the most unromantic setting. I fully expected her not to return the gesture -- in fact her response was positive. I'm confused at the whirlwind of events that have happened, and what happened today just overloaded me. I'm overloaded by different emotions but one that preveils is a heavy heart; a sinking feeling in my stomach. I know this is not normal. I don't know what to do. I can't bear the thought of seeing her tomorrow or even calling or texting her. What is wrong with me?
welikeincrowds Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I don't know, maybe you should go to the hospital. You don't need to have an answer. You don't have to be right. You just need to be honest. This little event of yours doesn't have to mean anything if you don't want it to.

welikeincrowds Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 not to him dummy, but i bet hes scrared it maens a lot to her. I meant what I said. It doesn't have to if he doesn't want it to.

Emilia Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 just tell her that you are a reserved person and that it frightens you to move things too quickly and to keep a slower pace regardless of what you said yesterday. if someone told me that I would understand
Author P&R Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) just tell her that you are a reserved person and that it frightens you to move things too quickly and to keep a slower pace regardless of what you said yesterday. if someone told me that I would understand I've known her for 6 months and she knows that I'm not normally a reserved person. We've hit it off ever since our first conversation and we quickly became friends. She knows a lot about my personality, and my character. If I said that to her she would suspect that something was horribly wrong. Her reaction was more favorable than I thought it would be, in fact it's probably the best reaction I could have gotten aside from my feelings being recipricated. I have no reason to have these feelings... I have no reason to feel so bad and I definitely have no reason that I shouldn't be excited to see her like always. Edited January 27, 2011 by P&R
Titania22 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Let the feelings settle and don't do anything rash just yet. See how you feel when you are together. Maybe you do love her, but you feel you have lost something by admitting it. Give yourself a little time. It is bound to become clear to you, if you still love her, or if you have changed your mind. Until you feel clearer it's better now to do anything about it. If you are compelled to do something, then you answer is probably in your actions.
LittleTiger Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I'm a big believer in being open and honest and, if I had done something similar, I would share how I was feeling about it with the person concerned. Tell her that your feelings at the time you expressed them were genuine although you were surprised at yourself..........that you're now on 'emotional overload' and you're not sure why. When you see her again she'll probably sense something is wrong and will ask you - and honesty is always the best policy. You're good friends aren't you?. So I think she's the best person to help you work out how you're really feeling. Good luck.
