I have been in a relationship with a very, very, wonderful man for 3 months. I am absolutely smitten. We talk tons, spend lots of time together, and have very open communication. I am very grateful for him coming into my life. I'm not left wondering about anything in our relationship, except this one thing!
He's been telling me for about two weeks now that he is "falling in love with me". I am absolutely right there with him and told him just as much. The more time passes, the more sure I am. As of right now, I know for sure that I stopped "falling" and just AM in love with him.
So, the age old question -
Do I wait for him to say it, or is it acceptable to say it first?
My old school values and my gut tell me to let him say it, to let him take the reigns.
But, when I'm with him, I often feel the urge to tell him since he makes me so happy.
Opinions?
He gets shy and had a hard enough time mustering enough courage to ask me to be his girlfriend, but did, and it was a really beautiful moment. I feel like if I leave it up to him, it will be drawn out since it's hard for him to make first moves.
