I've been dating this girl on and off for about 3 years. We've had a strange relationship to say the least. I love her with all my heart and I hope she feels the same way. The problem is it has been a tough relationship because she has had no time over the last few years. She not only took college courses during high school but also worked full time. So we've only been "casually dating" until now. For the last few months we've had a true relationship. But over the last few years I've been the only guy she's dated at all and we've made some mistakes but have always found our way back to each other. But I'm wondering if she loves me and whether I should tell her that I love her.
Here are the signs I've picked up on:
-Even though she has no free time (because of work and school) she still makes a serious effort to see me whenever possible
-She talks about our future plans together
-Even though my family is crazy she often tells me how much she likes them
-We can spend hours talking and not get bored
-She remembers just about everything about me and almost everything I say
-She truly cares about my ambitions and goals and is always pushing me and motivating me to be the best I can be
-She cares about my well-being and health
-She helps me with whatever problems I have in my life
-Whenever we're out with a crowd of people, she tends to just stay around me
-We can spend a whole day together and not do anything and still have a great time.
