So last night I was laying there next to my girl listening to her breathing sounds …She always falls asleep before me but I do not mind as her sleep sounds soothe me to sleep …I am not a restful sleeper normally …so as I am about to drift off , she turns her head and is like \<--------------------\> close to my face …breathing( definitely a good thing) directing into my face …and instead of moving I just stayed there , looking at her , listening to her …all I could think was "I am soo f_cking in love with her_…her sleep breath was wonderful blowing in my face …her weird grunty noises at random times indicating what I imagine to be a hella interesting dream…the whine noise she makes when I move an inch in the bed …all of it I would not ever want to go without… So tell me O wise ones of The Dope … Why can’t I tell this girl . The girl I wanted and finally have to love and be loved by . That I want to spend the rest of my life with her ? ---

Because you’re a man. And therefore have to make everything complicated. 😉 Just tell her! ---

My bad. 😃 Actually, I did think when I was writing it. I don’t actually _know_ this person is a guy. But I figured I make the assumption anyway. I stick with the statement - JUST TELL HER. ---

I third the suggestion, your op is nice because it seems so intimate, it reminds me of that scene in lost in translation where the couple are lying in bed, tell her! ---

Print out your beautiful OP, and gently slide it into her… hands. Alternately, take her into the town square of some European city, and shout at the top of your lungs, “I LOVE THIS WOMAN!” Make sure you’re loud enough to scare away the diamond sellers. 🙂 ---

**Scuba\_Ben** , Actually that happenned to me. Except it was in a bar of a hotel restaurant in Baltimore. Mr. Toes held up my hands in his, looked around and yelled “I am going to marry this woman!” It was embarrassing and sweet at the same time. The patrons kinda blinked and stared at us and continued with their meager lives. ---

You are probably unable to tell her because you seem unable to complete a sentence. Not to flame you, but really, subject-verb-punctuation is not the worst thing that ever happened to communication.
