I have been dating someone for a few months who is ten years younger than me. We have taken things very slowly, but he is one of the nicest guys I've ever met. We think so much alike, generally agree on almost every issue that we talk about, had similar childhoods, never run out of things to talk about, and have some amazing chemistry. Lately he has been saying things like, "I sleep with your pillow when you aren't here because it smells like your perfume." Or always telling me what an awesome person I am, telling me he has never had anyone be as nice to him, saying that we have a great connection and that it is way more than friends. That he is very glad he went to the place we met that night, etc. Over the weekend, he was leaving and said, "be good, I love you." I wasn't sure if he meant to say it or if he slipped and said it... I have said that to coworkers on the phone out of pure habit before... so I didn't say anything! I did see him a day or so later and he was very sweet and affectionate still. I do love him but have been scared of chasing him away. I know it sounds juvenile to be asking this on here but it is making me crazy. We had a text conversation today, and I asked him today if we could talk in person today or tomorrow - he said tomorrow is good. I said, nevermind I think this weekend is fine. (I'm chickening out). He said that was fine but tomorrow was good for him. Then he asked if I have something important to talk about. I said it is nothing bad, and that it can wait, and that I am probably not brave enough to say it anyway (so this probably gives it away I think). He texted, ok..lol. Then he texted again... "Sometimes you just have to take a chance, so..." I thought that was an open invitation for me to say how I feel, but now one of my friends says he may just want to know what I am thinking. Should I just wait and see if he says it first? I'm head over heels and might have PMS today so I am probably overly emotional. I don't want to screw this up. I have not been single that long and was married 15 years. I dated someone for 7 months and it turned out to be a bad relationship. This guy is so very nice, I just want to do things right.
