Ok, so we’ve talked about How To Break Up. We’ve talked about How To Ask Her Out on a Date. We’ve even talked about How to Nourish a Healthy Sex Life after you’ve been at it for a while…but there is one topic that we haven’t touch on just yet…How to tell her you love her.
Telling a Woman you love her is probably one of the hardest things you will do in your life. Harder than your taxes, harder than you SATs, heck, harder than the freakin’ MENSA entrance exam. You’re going to want it to be perfect, and you’re going to want to make sure that she remembers it. Chances are you will put way too much time into thinking about it. Here are some tips to help you get out there and lay it all on the table…
Think Before You Act
“I love you” is something you can’t take back. Especially if you’re one of those guys who’s been playing the role of “the best friend” for a while, and it’s eating you alive inside. If you’ve been dating for a while, this entire thing is going to be slightly easier, but if you’re that guy that has been secretly in love with a girl and is fixing to lay it all on the line…you need to remember…there is no turning back.
Make sure you are ready to take this step, and that you are ready for any possible negative consequences that may result from your actions.
*note* if you have to drink before you can muster up the courage to tell her…then you shouldn’t be doing it. If you can’t tell her sober, you can’t tell her period.
Plan for the Best, Prepare for the Worst
I don’t mean that to sound overly negative or pessimistic. What I mean is that when you attempt to set up a romantic plan or event, it doesn’t always go according to your original plan…so have a back up. Be prepared to think on your feet if your well laid scenario has a few hiccups in it.
In your preparations there are some die hard DOs and DON’Ts to live by…
DON’T copy down lines from a movie or stand outside a woman’s house with a Jukebox over your head in the rain (unless she’s really into that sort of thing)
DO think about what you want to say, and how you want to say it. Do you want to say “I love you”. “I’m in love with you.” “I think I’m falling in love with you…” figure out what you think is going to work best.
DO look her in the eyes. If you are about to tell her the most important words that you will ever say to her, then you need to be looking her in the eyes with a confident self image. If you want to win, you have to think like a winner
Don’t Wait Too Long
No one waits forever, fella. If you have feels inside that you can’t shake…if you can’t stop thinking about her, and you don’t think you’ll be able to sleep again until she knows the truth…then just tell her. Living with all of that bottled up inside forever is a terrible feeling, and you have to let it out.
If you don’t tell her…chances are, she’ll never know.

1Heeey. The pic’s from Chasing Amy! But I say, that car scene from Chasing Amy’s got one of the cheesiest “I love you” lines ever.
Oh. And worse, she gets to know years after. Like when she already has kids and a perfect marriage. Then get a line “This could’ve been us.”
Huurrk. Oh well, too many rom-com movies with the missus.

2Better yet dont you go on telling you love her…just let it roll..never tell a girl you love her, unless youre a 50 year old man and youve been married about 45 years… just wait for the right time and make your move….however i advise doing it as soon as possible, yes i failed in that matter many times, thats why Im telling you this, Im no expert but just try the old 90-10 kiss thing and see what happens;)

3Yup,
I really agree with My bad…but it depends …and it may change from person to person…It is a male’s duty to go and tell her that he loves her.She would provide each and every chances to catch her if u are there in her mind but it is ur duty to catch her…This rule is created by nature and we will have to obey it anyhow…
Love is a wonderful …..feel it and rise in love ….

7what if you work with her and been her friend for a few years but some how seems this is going backwards. Believe she might have wanted something with me but i never paid attention and now i have fallen in love with her and she pays no attention to me. At first she used to ask me out say to the movies, the eat, to her parties and i just blew her off and now i’m the one always asking her out, you know vice versa and she kinda blows me off. she’s nicer about it than i was but still. with the way the economy is right now and i really like my job. is it to risky to just let it all out or should i just keep on holding this in. it wouldn’t be the first time i just held it in but no one waits forever and if you snooze you loose. i get so angry and jealous but just take it all in when she give me stories of her love life and when she gets some and stuff. someone please advise! i’m dying here and fixing to make a decision and not sure it’s the right one. my heart says one this and my head says another. 2 totally different deals here! what should i do!

8oh one more thing. when i talk to her and want to get close and ask her well rude question of intimacy she straight tells me that we are friends and we work together and that’s it, i have to change the conversation or she won’t talk to me as a friend for a few days will only talk about business matters.

9i feel ya matel, it’s a high risk deal and you can win or lose it all. if you are strong minded you can move on and try and find someone else but if that were the case we would not be trying to consult each other online here we would just be doing it and getting it done and taking the bull by the horns which is usually my style but just feel there is too much on the line and my heart seems to be ruling over my common sense! Figures, always said this would not be me, that i am tough and can choose who to fall in love with but man was i wrong! So wrong, it’s funny just to think about it but my heart thrives for her love with much seriousness. Not sure how much longer i can hold it in.

10OKay, but how about this? We are best friends for like 5 months or something, she has told me all of her secrets including the one that she kissed with a friend she knows from primary school. And It’s one of those loves that eats you inside!!!

11was that resently or like a long time ago. eaither way i believe you should tell her how you feel. it would feel so painful for her not to know and hook up with her friend and not know how you feel about her. Easier said than done, right? But still, don’t stand by and watch her fall in love. You must tell her how you feel, otherwise you’ll never know if she might change her mind about the other friend and start sharing the same feelings for you.

12ok i told her and can’t believe i did so in email form but she declined i seem to have taken it rather well except for i’m not giving up, she loves someone else and is messing around with another dude and can’t seem to make up her mind i guess but a friend gave me some advice who i told my love story too and told them how great my love is and was demanded that i must not give up, that a love such as the one i feel must mean something to this person since it’s like too great for her not to give in sooner or later so i will take that advise and not give up. i’ll try not to be too aggressive but will be patient and win her sooner or later. wish me luck.

16i’m the same way, just that i fell for her i don’t know when either but been holdin myself back because of work and friendship, hoped i would get over it since i thought it was like lust i was feeling or something but i was mistaken. seems like i may have lost her, she has made a choice it seems and she went another way, she is with him now and i have asked for a her to call so i can talk, she seems confused and i know the aftermath of this is not good, i’m gonna lose my job, my friend(which i kind of ticked her off at work and wish i hadn’t and nows a bad time but still going for it, i know payback is a mug) and everything i’ve worked so hard for. I will not get her, she doesn’t hate me but is getting tired of telling me we are only just friends. I met her 3 years ago when she first started work and thought we were friends after 6 months of knowing each other but she tried to get me fired for being hard on her at work she put it, i thoiught it was just business but i would mess around and joke but she took it personal, then when i confronted her about it, i confronted her kindly and friendly, she said we weren’t friends back then but we are now, guess since i had been helping her out with some personal stuff of hers she finally accepted me, and that was like a year or 2 ago, lose track at work. i’ve been there for over a decade, i do not care about losing my job, i’ve worked so hard and leave body and soul there but believe my feelings for her are greater and demand priorty by my heart. you must tell her how you feel before you get in too deep in the friend zone, like the previous posts say from everyone else, it’s too big to hold inside this feeling that is, it will tear you apart and only confuse her when you start trying to tell her as a friend like i have, she will feel uncomftable and doesn’t know how to respond and will only reject you then like i’m fixing to be. lol. but it must be known, i feel so restless and just want to tear my heart out and inflict pain to myself since it feels like i’m burning up inside. we must tell them and then take it from there, chances are if we are rejected it will only make the friendship that much stronger and hopefully in time love will take it’s toll and everyone will be happy together finally, but there must be patience and it must be known first. good luck my friend and wish me the same, going back in and this time face to face. i want to call up one of my friends or co-workders and just let them in or prepare and find a new job just in case for better or worse i probably won’t be able to work with her or will have a hard time doing so anyways.

17also, remember one of the reasons you want to stay just friends nor ruin the friendship is of fear of losing her totally, you can’t live in a dream or illusion you must do your best to make it a reality and then just take the bull by the horns and be ready to deal with the outcome. it’s hard and there’s nothing you can do to prepare but you don’t want to wait to long and wait for some competition to get in the way like i have, then it makes it harder for her since she must decide and usually they stay with who they are already with and turn you down for the mean time. i will tell her as i have always told her that i will wait, and hopefully i’ll get over her if she turns me down but if not i will be the happiest man alive. i will fulfill her dreams and make them all come true and spoil her, for the rest of my life. what is man without a woman, nothing, i used to act like i was bullet proof and cupid would never find me, he didn’t miss a shot this past valentines and i told her too i was just feeling the lonely valentines blues, she laughed and said i would find a girl that would love me and went in to detail, not directly but in like a third person explained how we could never be together, it would never work, we are from different world, it goes in one ear and out the other. my brain is no longer in control and i will have a hard time explaining that here soon, i’m going into the mouth of a wolf but my love is in there along with my heart and soul and i must go with it, even if it’s the end of me i’ve never felt like this about anyone before, i’ve had past loves and missed opportunities which i had a hard time getting over but i feel that i can’t this go, i will die trying. let this be know that i will die trying to get the love of my life to at least feel me, and all i want is just one kiss! that’s it, i will ask for at least that, ya’ll think she’ll grant it even if i get turned down? i feel so nervous just thinking about it, my hands are shaking as i type, lol, this must be the love and the good stuff that last forever. previous loves i had wanted to make changes and dreamed of things that couldn’t be, in her i want her just the way she is, no changes in her, i’ll change and do whatever she asks and i’ve told her before i’m moldable and will do as told, i will become her loyal dog, will never look at another chick ever. all i want is her and just to kiss her lips and whatever else she wants me to do, it’s dangerous since i’m fully in love with her and she’s not with me but hope my love is so great that she will feel my warmth and fall in, give in. i get goose bumps just thinking about this, u must feel the same way. come on, let’s do it. life is about a gamble and you must play if you want to win, but must be ready willing and able to lose as well.

19ok, just had a long chat with her. she is digusted asked how i could let that happen, how i could take her kindness and goodfaith and confuse it and fall for her, to be happy and that all would be well but that she could not be friends with someone that feels that way about her. bad timing, i went on and continued pushing and asked why not and should i tear my heart out with my own hand and will i have job, should i even come back to work, told her how ashamed and sorry i was and how much i loved her and keeped to tying her messages as a friend but was cut out and was asked to stop and go to sleep. bummer, i feel the weight of the world off my shoulders now but my heart and sould aren’t where they are supposed to be, they are long gone. feel so alone, not nervous anymore since everything is passed and what is said is said but guess i tried and failed and maybe she might come back later but i doubt it. she slammed the door when she closed it, not truely but figuratively speaking. thinking suicidal here, bueller, bueller, bueller, he no here he hung himself. feel so empty!

20restless, can’t sleep. this is garbage, i should have been better organized and followed the steps, i tried taking her out though andshe never had time for me, guess that was the big clue that she wanted nothing to do with me. no longer the sweet meanie i’m now the guy who has been crushed, put it all on the line and couldn’t hold it in any longer. the timing would have been never right, we just aren’t meant to be i know that and i’m just not sure i let this happen like she said. she is a great person and has plenty of love and passion that we always talked about, something i never had and really wanted but like always told her you always WANT what you can’t have, problem is my heart supstituted the want to love and i’m just not taking this very well at all. never thought i could feel this bad and all for nothing eventhough that what’s all about i guess. weight of the world is off my shoulders now, but i still couldn’t sleep all night, still nervous and feel this great big emptiness that i can’t bear. i used to be strong and just keep it all inside and never tell no one how i felt but she has changed me and i tent to express myself too much and just being around her made me feel like somebody, like a better person, like i had a chance, dreams are for losers. i have told her that i will love her forever and it’s true, i just don’t let go that easily eventhough there is nothing to hold on to but my love for her. she has closed the doors on my possibly ever single one that has anything to do with getting near her. i begged for a chance and a single kiss is all i ever wanted i explained. got left out in the rain, lol, as a friend i believe i talked her to falling in love and well she did just that and now she is confused, since i just jumped out and said i thought it was her that was the love of my life, she might have taken it wrong and i asked to see her but got no response. i’ll see her alright when i get my exit paperwork at work along with a boot! i don’t care though, i would do anything for her and just had to let her know how i feel even if i never see her again i could not keep on just being a friend, my heart demanded more than that i could no longer control it as you clearly see. i believe in some things a best left unsaid but this goes again that i have become so weak just being around her that i no longer could contain my heart. had to let it all out and put everything on the line and watched it all fall into the rock bottom. i don’t know, maybe she’s right and i should move on 10 years later lol. i always lose the love of my life to old guys, i’m young, well not that young will be in the thirties in a few years but it’s been the story of my life, i have tried to get younger women and i get blown off, told i’m too old, then i’m too young. maybe they are just too nice and don’t want to say that i’m a shrek lookin ugly sum beech. lol. that’s the only thing i can think of, this dum bas turd is done here, i have nothing else to say, let me comment on the loser section somewhere now. the lost her and can’t move on section

21ok, just heard back from her, said she was willing to act like this never happened so that we could still work togetther only if i stop being so persistant, she has had enough and doesn’t want to talk about my feelings any longer or ever. pretty clear to me, will only deal with her in a professional way and lock up my feelings forever. this great love will never ever see the light of day ever again. thanks for the help and advise which i never took, lol, whouldn’t have of mattered but know we know and feel better now.

24Got advice from a friend. He said i should back away a bit, stop talking to her, if she comes by her selfs, she maight like you. So that’s what i did. She all ways keeps coming to me, put i heard her talk to about the boy. He likes her too.
done bad now good
April 21st, 2009 at 10:41 pm
25I did the same thing, i asked if we could keep it only business and asked to end the friendship. hard to do when we sit only one foot away from each other and spend most time together than with anyone else. that’s not the case anymore though, i gambled eventhough all the odds were against me but i still jumped in the fire and lost it all. it was worth it though i believe. eventhough i didn’t get anything out of it for myself at least i won’t be feeling the pain i would have felt trying to ignore and keep my feelings locked up inside and still being so close in the work place. i didn’t like the way things went down but it’s a tough situation on all angles you look at, lesson learned and well eventhough i might never ever fall in love ever again i still believe this all had to happen and move on to bigger and better things hopefully. no matter how ever hard you plan and try to make it special and all it is still a gamble but one that must be done, as complicated as love is you keep it locked up inside it will drive you crazy and make you do things you wish you never do. i only said things i wish i would have never said and would never do but now know and kind of understand the foolish things i never understood. love is blind and i always thought i could control who to fall in love with as i have done before and thought in doing so i was strong minded perhaps and now i see i’m not and i’ve seen how weak i can be. If i could take it all back i would, wish i never had the courage to come out of the closet now, wish i were a big puss and just hung out and never said a word and things would be the same and i would have proven possibly to be tougher than what i am now since in the end i said things which confused her and caused her great pain. i never wanted that, it’s weird how strong words can be other than actions i never realized that. all i can say Noone is that you must do that which you and only you believe to be right and then just whether for better or worse whatever the outcome may be use it as a learning experience and keep on going. Don’t let anything slow you down if it comes out right and if it doesn’t, well you get knocked down and just get back up and come back for more or just walk away like i did. i truely believe in an old saying that if it’s meant to be that love will come back to find you but if not well don’t wait.

30There’s A Girl I Like And We’ve Work Together For About A Month Or Two. She’s Married But They Are Separated And Has Two Kids By Different People. We Flirt And Joke Around And I Think Im Falling For Her. She Always Tells Me How Much Of A Jerk Her Husband Is And He Hits Her. Im A Really Shy Guy And I Only Told A Few Girls I Like Them But They Tell Me That We Are Just Friends And That They Dont Wont Are Friendship To Be Ruined If We Broke up. But Anyway I Try And Tell Her That I Like Her But She Always Says Something About Her Husband Like He’s Starting To Be Nice And Watch The Kids And Then He Turns Around And Does The Samething Over Again. I Want To Tell Her I Like Her But I Don’t Know How And i Don’t Want To Make It Awkward Between Us And We Not Talk Anymore. And Also Im Nervous Because I Never Had A Girl Friend Thought And I Don’t Want To End Up Heart Broken. Can Someone Give Me Advice On If I Should Tell Her Or Not.
