The Right time

just don't hurry things..just keep on reminding him that you're not yet ready to enter in a relationship yet..but also clear things to him if you like him as friend only..it's also bad to keep someone hanging.. hopefully you'll get over with your ex..and eventually be healed..you need also to decide if you want to move on or if you want to live with the pain.. have a great day!

Hi there amanda81587, Well for me i guess, letting someone know that they love you is appropriat you don't know when will God take in his loving arms so i guess i will always say the words to the person i love without hesitation regardless of what the other person feels, because you just don't know and i don't want to regret, so it is fine with me if the person doesn't say it back, i'll just say "Im not worried, I know you'll get there". Take care.

I think people put a lot more thought into this question than is necessary. My ex fiance called me (early on, while we were still together) and told me he had something he had to tell me and he didn't want me to say anything back. He knew I might not feel the same way and said even if I did, he didn't want me to tell him until I'd had some time to think about it, but he didn't think it was fair to either of us to keep his feelings to himself. After about five minutes of that he said "I love you, I'm hanging up now, call me back when you're ready to talk." And hung up the phone. I think more people should be willing to put themselves on the line like that. Maybe not strolling up to your favorite musician and telling him or her that you believe the two of you were meant to be and you love them more than anyone else in the world. But someone with whom you have any kind of relationship... be it romantic or just a friendship... feelings should not be kept secret. I know people might ask what if you are in love with your married friend? Well... okay, maybe then, keep it to yourself. But if you have a chance they might love you back and it's not going to tamper with any one else's life, I say go for it.

There really isn't a right time really. Everyone inturpts the word "love" differently. Though it is not something to be feared. Once you are ready to hear it, that's the right time. And if yur new man in your life wants to say it, let him. You may be buying into your ex relationship a little bit too much. Sometimes you need to hear things you don't think you're ready for in order to really move on and heal. You have to give yourself the chance, and accept the relationship you're in for what it is.

Well Amanda, l would have done the same as u r doing. But dont take too much long time for the person who cares for you so much as such persons are very hard to find. l would suggest CARE AND LOVE THOSE WHO CARES AND LOVE YOU SAME AS YOU DO. FORGET THOSE WHO HAVE NO HEART FOR YOU. have a nice day.

believe me i have used that word love alot to my ex's brother but he knoes that i relly don't mean it

If he really loves you and he feels like telling you why not let him? I think early on in a love relationship it's not a good idea to say you love someone to quickly. I think men and women both tend to say "I love you" to quickly. They should give it time to get to know each other before saying words that should be very meaningful.

I would want him to say the L word anyway, given that he truly means it. I mean, why not if that is what he feels? I think you are not only suppressing yourself but him as well for a reason you alone can understand (or not fully understand) I guess. If you cannot reciprocate that love 'yet', he should know better and wait. After all, if he truly loves you, he will definitely wait. As for you, time will heal all wounds. Yes you may still think of your ex from time to time but you will see that sooner or later, you'll only remember the boy and not the feeling anymore. (that is a line from a local song) Moving on does not always happen on its own. It takes some effort on your part.

I see. Good that you are honest with this person. Does he know you are still in love with your ex? In this kind of situation, where you are still attached to your ex, don't get into any relationships. have time for yourself. Enjoy being single for awhile. Just because this other guy likes or loves you doesn't mean you should love him too. Follow your heart(ugh, cliche, but it's what you should do) Don't get into any situation that you are not ready for. Whatever he is feeling, you should prioritize your feelings first. Sort yourself out. When you are scarred, and tried to love again so fast after, your heart becomes crooked and you would end up in a series of bad relationships after that, scarring you even more. If you are even the tiniest bit uncomfortable, tell him immediately. It's good to be honest and frank.

Love is not a deal my friend.. just feel it and understand Your love's value.. And if you really think she / he is your that man who will always make you happy or feel your feelings.. hard your heart language and time..

hello amanda! I think you should not be in a hurry. let time heals all the pain. Just confront the guy and told him that you're not still ready. You should move on, your ex don't deserve such a beautiful woman like you :)

The perfect time would be when the person am saying it has confessed her fellings for me and i feel the same for her.
