Do you want to show him you love him? Are you afraid that if you tell him you love him, he won't say he loves you in return? Do you want to know how to make him tell you he loves you first? Some dating advice columns will tell you that it's okay today for the girl to take the initiative.
Others say you've got to wait.
Who's right? The answer is both and neither.
Here's what you need to know.
First of all, you need to know that guys are afraid of love.
He may be giving you all the right signals, but still not coming right out and saying, "I love you.
" As a liberated woman, why shouldn't you say it first? Go ahead - if you don't care whether you lose him or not.
If you tell him you love him first, he will become frightened and confused.
He'll also be put off by your pushiness and insensitivity.
Instead of revealing all your feelings to him all at once, show him you love him in little ways.
Be sensitive to his moods.
Smile when he's smiling and be a shoulder to lean on when he needs it.
That will show him that you care.
It will also may him care more about you.
It's probably the hardest thing for a girl to do when she's in love, but if you want to keep him hooked, keep your distance.
Sure, you want to be with him 24/7, but if you let him know it, he's not going to fall in love with you.
Guys, whether they know it or not, only fall for girls they're afraid they might lose.
After he's fallen head over heels with you and told you he loves you, you can let him be with you all the time, but not before.
While you're waiting for that magic moment to arrive, you're just going to have to keep your emotions from bursting out.
When you're watering flowers, you are in danger of drowning them if you give them too much water all at once.
The way to show him you love him is to let it out in small doses and watch the flower of his love grow.
