How do you tell you love someone?

If I could put in words -- exactly -- what is in my heart of hearts, then I would do so with alacrity. But rarely is such the case. Most of the time, I fear. Scared that my words would lie. Uncertain of what would happen if I could speak of love. Frightened by being swept away, losing all perspective, all logic, all balance. Yet I want to be swept up by something/someone good. Yet I want us to be swept up -- together.

But words fail me. Less talk, perhaps, and more walk?

How do you know you love someone? Well, first of all, I think you love someone if you like being around him or her, having that person around. But how hard in this present culture, without being misunderstood, for a woman to tell another woman that she loves her--or for a man to tell another man that he loves him. Have you read C. S. Lewis's "Four Loves," which goes into the four Greek words for different types of love? I'll admit, though, that I found part of his discussion quite obnoxious: his claim that having a woman (or women) present wrecks a great male-only conversation. But later he married a bright woman--and now, 50 years later I think that times have changed somewhat, at least in some circles, some of the time.

If you love someone, i think you should let them know in some way or another. maybe talking with them, write a letter, through a friend etc. Its always a good feeling to know that someone is in love with you. But a good result is never garanteed. If you always fear, how are you supposed to ever find out if they might return those feelings? Living with the regrets of 'what if?' is more painful then being rejected!

I fell in love with my best friend and I don't know what she thinks about it. Whether she is afraid of her own feelings or something. It makes me all confused on how I should act around her and all. Someone give me a clue.

I am still in love with my ex girlfriend. She means the world to me and I love her right to the bottom of my heart. We broke up a few months ago and altough we are still friends I cant tell her I still love her or she would hate me, she doesnt want me to be in love with her. To make it worse she likes my best friend and he likes her back. He could never care for her like I do, I want to be with her again more than anything, she is the world to me.

I am still in love with my ex-girlfriend but she doesnt want me to be and that is literally tearing me apart to know that we are not together and I want her back more that anything in this world... I've tryed to act like I am over her but that hurts alot worse.... I treated her bad but Only if she would give me another chance I could show her that I really wanted to be with her and I could do better... I have Never loved anyone as much as I love her....and I dont believe I ever will because if Love feels like this in the end then I dont ever want to fall in love again!She showed me how to love but also showed me how not to!!!!! but no matter what I will always love her with all I have and with all my heart and no matter how many times I say I will walk away and let go I wont I will always, hold on and never let go..........I LOVE YOU MICHELLE
