I am a firm believer in telling people what you think; whether that be your opinion on their choice of clothing, your political choices or your feelings towards them. After watching the cutest movie EVER (and I truly do mean "EVER") Valentine's Day, it really got my brain working.
When should you tell someone you love them?
I know that when it comes to the wonderful world of dating (oh, dreadful), there is always that question. "Oh goodness, I love him but, should I tell him?" Or "I feel like I'm falling in love with him." Wowzers. Well, my question to you all is, "I love this person and they did know at one time, but should I tell them again?" Do you think that you should always express your feelings towards a person, whether those feelings be good or bad? Should you tell someone you love them, even if you expect them not to say it back? Should you confess your true feelings regardless of the outcome? So many questions and yet the answer still remains floating out there in the universe somewhere.
I think you should express your thoughts and feelings towards someone, regardless. I know that means you are really setting yourself up for a letdown, but if you don't do it, you may live to regret it. I am just curious as to what you all think about this question. Would love to hear what you think:
when it comes to matters of the heart...
do you tell someone you love them,
or do you keep it to yourself?

I have been following your blog for sometime (spectacular might I add) and this post hits home so I figured I would comment. My first question for you is this a recent ex or we talking years? Then if it is years you probably should let it go, but it is fairly recent what do you have to lose. Chances are that he hasn’t moved on and if he has you might get his wheels spinning. If it’s one of those exes’s we dated when we were basically teenagers it’s time to let the past be the past. In most cases it’s very rare that you reconnect with someone from your past. They have likely married and maybe even kids by now. The reason I say this is because it happened to me and I felt like my heart broke all over again. It’s just not worth the ache. Good Luck, I’m anxious to know your decision.
I think you should tell him. If you know that the situation is going to be supportive of your admission than do it. What I mean by supportive is, if you two are a couple and are happy together. If you weren't together or he was blowing you off the "I love you" wouldn't be met with open arms. I told my bf that I was in love with him first because I literally couldn't keep from saying it anymore and I don't regret it. It felt right and if it feels right for you, DO IT!
Oh, the nervousness is setting in. I am a bit reluctant to say a single word, but will do so AND let you all know.
It is a more recent EX of mine. I'll tell him.
I think you should tell him. Life is too short to waste time...
Say it, he will already know it, and share the same feelings if worthwhile. You should express strong feelings like that, internalizing is not healthy. Where's he in all this? Certainly not subscribed to the blog; Hope you get it sorted, time for work. Warm Regards, Jon
I kept it to myself for 4 years and then finally told him. Now we've been together for two years - we go to different schools, and its hard - but I'm a firm believer in it. We're still in love. :) great blog!!
