Ok, my girlfriend and I have started doing everything else that most adult couples do... except we have never said a successful "I love you". I said it once and she didn't run screaming from the room, but she didn't reciprocate either. She once told me she was getting "Ushy Gooshy feelings" feeling for me. The thing is, I get the feeling she does, but doesn't want to go WAAAY out on a limb by saying it.
Now she is going away for about a month, and I want to say it to her again now that we are closer. Because these relationship decisions always make her nervous, I was thinking of putting it in a letter. I need to know, in everyone’s experience, is it better to do it in person. Could saying "I love you" screw up a relationship. Any advice on how to say it?
