Just curious, knowing the tendency of these men to fear rejection...will they say it first? The stigma is that it's bad for a woman to say it first because it sends men running.. so what is the status quo with cancers? (No I'm not thinking of saying it, I was just wondering!)

In normal situations nah I'm not really shy just laid back. But when I've invested my emotional currency in a situation I may get a little tentative and closed off but I'll always make my intentions and feelings transparent.

I do not, have not, and probably would not. That word is thrown around too freely in my opinion. I consider love to be a very precious thing, and saying "I love you" to someone would constitute an enormous step. For that to happen, she would likely have to say it first and of course I would have to feel absolutely sure since I would never say to someone that word unless if I meant it.

Now have I felt that I truly loved a girl? Of course! In fact I imagine that I was in love several times. I never said "I love you" to them but I certainly thought I loved them, and felt I would do anything for them. That's the problem though, that infatuation which makes people fall in love so easily. Because in my opinion, those who fall in love easily also can fall out of love easily. I'm naturally loyal/faithful and know I wouldn't stray if I loved someone, but I can't say the same for the people I've come across. I would like to make sure that I earn her love like the precious jewel it should be and vice-versa. I'm naturally wary of anyone who can say "I love you" so fast or so easily because it would feel just anyone could come up and take your place in their eyes.

Mine did and he also doesn't say those words easily. He feels people say it too much and do not mean it anymore so when he did say it, I was over the moon and knew he meant it.
