There ya go. Really. Wait until you're ready to start talking seriously about marriage. Just trust me buddy, it's never worked out well for me when I've used it.
I know you're frustrated, but it'll get to be a real problem.
Once, I told a girl I loved her, and things started going too fast, too far...switch that around. I had to break it of, which was also pretty bad too cos of the fact that I said it in the first place.
My best guess, is say it when you propose to her (if it ever goes there) and not a second before. Plus, it'd mean a whole lot more if you didn't ever before.

She sounds like an awesome girl my man. Stick with her. But please, don't use the L-word. I'm just speakin' from experience.

Let me know if you need any more advice. I've been in quite a few relationships that haven't worked out so well, so I know what doesn't work, at least.

when then? i've known her for almost four years now, she knows my darkest secrets and doesn't care about them, and i'm the same with her....just gotta know...if not now...when?
thats not sarcasm...i'm honestly asking...because i do recognize your authority in the circuit so to speak...
we're not talking about marriage or living together...and she said it first...it scared me...to be honest...because i didn't really know love...but i think i do now...i feel like i'd fight for her...like i'll drain all the blood out of my body and keep fighting to protect and or keep her...
thats what love means to me, amongst other things...that you're not willing to die for someone...that you'e willing to fight and suffer for the one you feel for...like death wouldn't even enter your mind as a solution or option...and thats true...i've learned from my troubles and i've seen the darkness within peoples hearts...and i will fight to keep her. iwon't let her go...even if it means battling the world or ones i love...
she brings me back from the edge...and believe me , i've been on the edge of insanity more than once...
i don't use the L word often..but when i do...i mean it...
i won't lie to you...and i can't do this one thing you ask of me i don't think...
because love is more than a passing fancy or fickle like lust...i care how she sees me and how she feels...
she's shy...and my first thought isn't to break her of her shyness so we can do the things we like to do whenever we want...
my first thought is to not put her in a position where she'll be shy.
she's had a rough time of it...and all i want to make her as happy as possible...
i had a glimpse into something recently...a guy who denies his friends something because of his girl...and i respect that... his priorities are in order.. to an extent, i'll do that...but i recognize that sometimes a friend needs to come first...especially in something important...and he reallhy let me down...
i expected as much...but still...
shes my waking thought and my thought as i drift to sleep...not only dirty thougths...not to say i don't have them...but thats not my main focus when i think of her. i think of her eyes or her voice or her writing or the books she likes or the songs she likes. the things we have in common and the things we don't .
i feel fear that she may betray me...but i trust and have faith in her that she won't because i trust her...
she really is my better half...my wisdom...pointing out and making sure that i'm a better person then i would normally be.
wheras my ex only was looking for the things that i was...a quick rush and a better high so to speak...
she was no better than i was...looking for a physical relationship but hiding behind hopes of an emotional one...she'd deny it...but i know and she knows...
she cried a lot when she was apart from me...but neither of us made to much of an effort to save the 'love' we had, because there was none, only the lust that both of us were fulfilling with each other.
i regret that relationship...a factg that i continually make to my girl now...and she comforts me...even though i know that i'll carry that guilt along with a million others forever...but my girl makes it feel better, like i 'm not the horrendous failure i've been lead to believe that i am.
so i'm not being sarcastic when i ask...when can i say that i love her?
when can i accept that she's my better half...
i value your opinion...and i care what you think...
so please...don't be offended...i'd like to know how you feel.

Hey, that's great my friend! *pats you on the back hard* At's my boy!

Just do me a favor okay?
do NOT use the L-word. It's still too soon to use that one, and it'll only screw things up in the end. Trust me, I've experienced it many a time.

Haha, I'm so stupid, I forgot that MY OWN NAME is right there for everyone to see. I was momentarily confused and thought you might have been someone I knew in real life...very few people actually call me by my name, and of the few that do, one of them happens to be a hardcore Nintendo fan...thus, the mistake.

Well, first of all, holy crap you know who I am. Second of all, forgive my ignorance, but who are you?

No problem! Thanks for the reply.

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World

thanx for the fav
