Thats the same thing in different clothing - you're saying you're protecting his feelings, but thats not your job. Certainly not at this stage of a relationship. You're using that as an out so you don't have to take the risk and put yourself out there. He's a grown man, he can put his feelings out there if he wants to. And so can you!I’m not sure if I’m trying to protect my feelings or his. I feel like I have the weird opposite problem in this situation where I’m scared I’m going to stop loving the person instead of the other way around and I’m scared of the hurt that will give them. I had a similar episode to this early on in my relationship with my ex-husband, where I had a night I sat awake in bed inconsolable and in a shitload of pain, wondering “what if I don’t actually like him?” and the idea that I didn’t made me want to puke. That’s the same fear and gut feeling I’m having now, just also enhanced because those initial worries about my ex were correct.
Don't want to be too forceful with how I say it, but DO IT !
