I think it is. Mainly because boys don't over think things, they go with their feelings whereas we have to think everything through and every possibility that could happen.
It took me around five months to finally tell my boyfriend I loved him, after all the times he would say it I would freeze up and just be like 'oh... yeah uh.. youtooandstuffBYE.' Then when I did he smiled and all that mushy gooshy stuff, jerk can still remember when I said it like it was some sort of holiday. >_> After four years thinking back on it... I feel silly that I didn't say it sooner. -kicks rock-
Thrildo: Yeah, there's obviously the chance that I'm just over-reacting like an idiot and that he'd react in a great way. BUt still. The fear of rejection is greater than the hope of reciprication.
First time I told my 2nd gf i loved her, it was after 2 months of dating, and she busted my balls by saying "i know" when i told her, then she kissed me ftw.
v. Oh well. We can (hopefully) take comfort in the fact that (Again, hopefully.) most people are awkward about saying that word... At least in their heads.
v. Yeah, I'm incredibly awkward and I think if I was going to say it I would say something terrible like, "So, uh, I guess I love you, or whatever..." When my first boyfriend told me he loved me I replied, "Yeah, I guess I love you, too."
