I love you... I wish I had the courage to tell you...I'll tell the SDMB instead!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

You are the most amazing person I have ever met. I love to watch you, all the time, even if we are not conversing. Your eyes are incredible , your mouth was made to kiss me.

You play music for me, and when I sit at your feet you put your hands in my hair. You stare into my eyes an extra second longer than you need to. You hold me when I’m sad. You’re there for me when no one else is. You kiss my forehead and tell me goodnight, and stand at my door as I tuck myself in.

My hand fits in yours perfectly. You’re so tall that you can pick me up and hold me high in the air. I feel that you care about me… I think you may even love me. I wait up for you at night, and we talk and talk. When I turn to leave, you grab my arm and, with a grin, tell me that you love my company… and not to go to bed just yet.

But there is an ocean between us, a divide so wide I don’t know if we will ever be able to cross it. I know that our chemistry can’t be denied forever. There have been times that we have almost thrown our caution to the wind, but our loyalties won’t allow us to do that… just yet.

I just wish I had the courage to tell you I love you. I wish I had the courage to tell you that I’m ready. I wish I had the courage to tell you that you are the only man I see.

I love you baby.

(Use this thread to tell those you love just how much you do!)

Well, that was cowardly and touching. I would add my little tale, but my wife already knows I love her.

So what’s the deal, Cap’n? You have a secret crush?

'Fess up!

3

No, Gorgon Heap, not a secret crush… my best friend knows all about it! :slight_smile:

He’s a guy who has been my friend for the last year. I don’t know why I can’t tell him this… I tell him everything else. We’re so close and he’s so wonderful… I know he would never be mean or make a fool out of me for revealing my feelings. I guess it’s just my fear of rejection.

4

Whoa. Been there. Beautiful OP, Captain Blunty.

5

I wanna tell her that I love her a lot, but I gotta get a bellyful of wine.

Cool OP, Captain Blunty. Can you email him this thread?

6

Well, Captain, at least you know and trust him. It’s a start, and I dare say I don’t think you should rush it. Perhaps you should inquire as to his feelings from a friend of his. Or have a friend of yours do so.

7

aw, god girl, go for it. as peeps keep telling me, life is too short for ‘will they wont they’. ‘regret not what you do, only that which you have not done’. i forget who said that, but it’s true…

8

I finally mustered up the courage to tell my One True Love how I felt about her (prompted largely by encouragement/threats from my closest friends). We’ve been friends for years and she used to be very attracted to me long ago. I thought I was getting “signals.”

She turned me down.

Eh. Well, we’re still great friends, anyway. And I’m patient. :wink:

I wanna do one! :smiley: Mine’s pathetic though.

I’ve had an on and off crush on you for about five years. You came to a local IRC channel I went to, and I always thought you were so weird and interesting… I was fascinated. Your personality was so… well, cute, and I wanted to talk to you but I was too chicken. Then I saw you in real life, not realising it was you, and I thought you were so adorable and I wanted to touch your hair. You stood next to me in a crowd as we watched a band, but I couldn’t concentrate on the band, only on your flannel shirt touching my arm.

A few months later I found out you and you were the same person. Imagine my surprise and delight!

My friends have caught you looking at me on various occasions, and so have I, but I tell them they’re crazy and I convince myself I’m just seeing what I want to see.

We must be similar in some ways, because three times on IRC people have messaged me, thinking I was you. One of them even told me I would like you.

We’ve had a few fleeting conversations on IRC and I offered you popcorn once in real life. (You said “No thanks.”) You were always nice to me, but you seem so shy that I never attempt to talk to you lest I disturb or annoy you… that, and I’m shy too. I’ve drawn you pictures before, which you seem to like, but maybe you’re just being polite. Well, once you DID send me an adorably sappy song on IRC after I sent you a picture I drew, causing my pulse to quicken, but you didn’t respond to my “thanks!” (Even though I’m sure you didn’t send it for the lyrics, I listen to that song about three times a day now.)

There was sort of a cycle. I would like you for a long time, then I’d be in a relationship with someone else… but when that would end, I’d like you again. I’d get in another relationship, and whenever it would go bad, I’d think of you. Maybe that’s insane, and maybe it’s just too much of a fantasy, but it made me happy. It’s not really going away, either.

Anyway, I would like you to be on a beach at night with me so we could look at the stars… and maybe hold hands. But I’ll never say anything to you, so I’ll go alone and have you with me in spirit!

Captain Blunty:

Kiss him, you fool!

11

Been there, had it done to me. I said no. We’re still the best of friends, I’m very glad to say :slight_smile:

12

jackelope, we shouldn’t push too hard. I suggest we do a test beforehand, so she should kiss me first.

:wink:

This is like the third or fourth opportunity I’ve had to relive this painful episode from my past in the last couple of weeks.

For three years in college, I loved this friend of mine. I’ve never felt such a deep connection with another person. Even her flaws made her seem more perfect to me. I was seriously in love.

Of course I never said anything. I think she must have known, though. She was a smart person with an uncanny amount of intuition. And I probably wasn’t hiding it as well as I thought I was. However, she probably also knew that I would never approach her about these feelings, gelatinous coward that I was, so our friendship was safe.

One time we were staying at another friend’s house, and there was only the pullout couch to sleep on. We talked for a while, laying in bed, then we fell asleep hand in hand. I’ll never forget that.

Shortly after I graduated, I wrote her a long letter telling her exactly how I felt about her. I think I still have a copy somewhere. We never spoke again, not even as friends.

I think I learned some kind of lesson from that. I don’t know how to put it into words exactly, but I did change a lot as a result of that. I keep my feelings very closely guarded now. Revealing them has a tendency to frighten people away, so I keep them to myself. I’m also more suspicious somehow. It’s like I’m more skeptical of other people’s interest in me or anything I do.

14

That’s a very sad story. {{{{cuauhtemoc}}}}.

Oh, and Gorgon Heap, I’m too cowardly to tell my love how I feel, let alone kiss him! So I’m free to test kiss you all you want. :wink:

15

Thanks for the {{{{}}}}, Captain Blunty :slight_smile: As for your situation, I hope the tension builds to a fever pitch and you find yourselves locked in a passionate embrace soon.

16

It’s ok ** Captain Blunty**, I’ve known about your feelings for some time now. :wink:

17

Well, I found out tonight that my love is in love with another girl… so there goes my plans. :frowning: Oh well, good thing I’m patient, although I’d like to take an axe and turn her house into a motor home.

So, that being the situation, I have a question to ask.

Kwyjibo, will you run away with me? :wink:
