Should I tell her that I love her?
 

The problem with this is that...I love this girl.We don't really talk a lot but we talk.I started getting feelings for her about half a year ago.I didn't notice until a few weeks ago.Now I can't get her out of my mind and I am afraid to get horribly rejected in front of other people.What do I do?

before you tell a girl that you love her, you should make absolutely sure that it is love and not lust. do you trust her? do you need her? do you want to do everything in your power to put her needs above yours and make her happy? love is one of those things that once you start saying it, you can never take it back without ruining everything. it takes different people different amounts of time to realise that they love someone, a month or a year. if you did find it after a few weeks then you are very lucky

I think that the situation depends. If you truly love her, then by all means tell her. I've been in your shoes before. Rejection is hard, but going without knowing what would've happened is, I've found, harder. You question it everyday and you'll start to hate yourself after a while for not saying anything.

However

as the post above me states, DON'T tell her you love her if you are not absolutely positive you love her. It's fine to tell her your feelings regardless of what they are, but be sure you tell her your actual feelings rather than what you may have convinced yourself. The post above me is right when it says saying "I love you" is something you can't take back without wrecking everything.

Be true to her. Be true to yourself.

Be true to your heart.

No, no, no!
Love is too strong of a word for you. Start with "I like you."

I wouldn't start by telling her you love her.... you might scare her off by coming on too strong. Maybe tell her you have feelings for her, or that you "like her more than just friends."
Don't worry about being rejected. If you worry, you won't ever take the leap. And if you still worry, try to tell her when you're not in front of a bunch of other people. Then you won't be humiliated if she turns you down.
But like ittaitheboy said..... make sure it's actually love. If you can't imagine a future without her, and if all you want is for her to be happy, then maybe it's actually love. I won't submit you to my page-and-a-half definition of the word love, but I will tell you that if you truly love her, you'll be okay if she chooses someone else. Love is selfless, not selfish. (Although with me it is, but only because the person I love lets me be selfish about him.)
But if you think about it and all you really want is to get in her pants, you better get over it fast. That's not right.... and it's toying with someone's emotions. If all you're after is sex, then don't even pursue anything.

Sorry, I spoke a lot. You probably won't even read all of this. Sorry again. ^_^

I'm sure that it's really love guys.I just don't wanna be with her out of lust like some people,but because I truly love her.I get really weird around her at times,especially when we are having fun.It's just...I'm not really sure.

I wouldn't tell her, even if you think you do.
It's a two-way game.
I love my friends, but I'm not in love with them.

@Knerd : That's a good idea.I'll probably try that out before I do anything drastic.

The other benefits to asking her out are:

1. You get to find out if she likes you back or not

2. If you start dating you find out more about her, what her views on things are, what foods she likes, what her favorite movies, books, songs, bands, etc. are. Do you like the same things? Do you have similar opinions about politics, religion, etc.?

When you start to see the real, imperfect person she is, that's when you'll truly decide whether you love her or not. And yes, she will be imperfect because nobody is perfect. But if she's right for you it won't matter.

And everyone is right, the word love to start is too strong and it's a pretty big commitment, in a sense.

Hope this helps!

I would not rush into anything. If you feel that you love her, I wouldn't just out and tell her. That might push her away and I know you don't want that. I agree that you should ask her out and date her a while. That way you can tell how she's feeling. If after a while she says those three words, "I love you," you can answer her something like "I'm so happy you do, because I've loved you for longer than you know," or something like that. Hopefully not as cheesy XD. But girls love it when guys respond like that.

Good luck with her! :D <3

First, think things quietly, think about the things you like and also the ones you DON'T like of her. If you can accept them, then ask her to talk in a private place and tell her what you feel :)

free your soul.
