Yesterday, at M & T's wedding, when it started to get dark, I took my camera to my car. The boy, who was my +1 for the event, came with me, I thought because he didn't want to keep socializing with a bunch of people he didn't know. But after I'd stashed the camera, he pulled me aside and said "I love you".

I felt a little overwhelmed, I think, and

I think you gave him the most honest answer you could, and even if it wasn't exactly what he wanted to hear, at least he knows you do have feelings for him. That's worth a lot. Maybe in time, you will know for certain. ♥

It's always a tough thing to say what someone else will feel. For me I decided I'd found "the guy" when I realized I was willing to not see anyone else.

Okay, allow me to dispense the wisdom of my 38 years on this planet.

Over analyzing love is the first mistake. Trying to quantify it and qualify it will drive you batshit crazy.

Love is different things to different people. It an take months to develop or just minutes.

Does thinking of your boy make you smile? When you see or hear something funny, do you think of sharing it with him first? When you get frustrated or irritated, do you look forward to being with him for comfort and support?

Those are the basic symptoms of love. It doesn't mean he is the ONE love of your life (because that's a myth) or that you two will be together forever or any of that romanticized nonsense. It means that in the here and now you love him.

Also keep in mind, weddings bring out the sentimentalist in most people, so his declaration while sincere, was likely prompted by those feelings. Just saying, don't worry so much about picking out china patterns.

It's good that you were as honest as you could be, and only time will tell whether that "I think I love you" will turn into a "I do love you", it's kind of exciting actually. Just keep him updated on your feelings and it should be fine, whatever the outcome.

you were honest about how you feel; there's nothing quite better than that. true, the boy may be all "?!" right now but maybe one day when and if you finally do have the mutual feeling? it will be awesome
