...to say that you like someone? To say those three words "I love you"? Have you ever thought about it?
I found out why I did after some hours of talking about this with my ex-girlfriend, when she was "just a friend" (a long time ago

).
Let's assume that I don't know how she feels about me. When I tell this person that I like her, it seems to me that she would get upset. You know those "go home, lie on bed and cry for hours" most females like to do. I wouldn't want to do something like that to a person I like, and that's why saying "I love you" is so hard for me.
What is it that makes it so hard for you?
