Well, first off, this shit is about a thousand years old, so I don't know if they had drama queens back then (I am guessing yes). The nun is giving a lesson to the admirer, and whether she has feelings for him has not entered the discussion yet.
I think your question about how to know when love is safe enough to be trusted shows pretty deep into your soul, Abaya. I have asked the same questions, and the answer has not always been the one I have been hoping for.
Isn't the act of professing love one of the truly powerful moments in a person's life? Why would someone hide it? If lucky enough, that love can be professed again and again, ad infinitum. I told a girl I loved her, and it felt great. I told her without caring what the response was. I didn't care if I was killed for saying it, because my life was complete... right at that moment.
