ladylyra Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I've been a lurker on here for awhile. This is my first official thread. To make a long story short, I've known this guy for 8 years. We've always been friends (although I was completely CRAZY about him in high school, just too shy to do anything about it), and now we've been casually dating since last July. Due to circumstances (grad school, long distance, unaccommodating work schedules, etc...) we've decided to keep things so for the time being. I'm optimistic about the direction this relationship is going, more so than I've ever been. I've wanted to tell him that I loved him for the last few months. I've felt it for years while we were still "just friends." But I've always decided not to so as not to scare the guy, and not to cause myself any hurt if he didn't say it back. I recently returned home from a 10 day trip to the Middle East. It really changed my outlook, made me realize how blessed I really am, how I should appreciate every aspect of my life. I started to think that maybe it isn't so important for him to reciprocate my feelings. Maybe it's more important just for him to know. Should I just tell him? Or is it too risky?
