text: someone just said "i love u" today? i have known this man for almost 5 yrs now, i was in love with him since i met him and he tried to hide it cos he thought i was too young then, he was 31 and i was 21. when he told me what he feels i had to move to another country for my education. we kind of had a bad breakup then cos of things happenin then. he told me he wont marry anyone and that he will wait for me. i never belived that he would do such a thing. after almost 2 yrs i was in love with a guy and we were together for 2 yrs, i had a really really horrible breakup with this guy a few months ago. i have been speaking to the other guy very frequently since then and hes still not married and is waitin for me. hes never even now rushed me for anything and we have started speaking about us and my ex has started to dwindle away slowly. this man has been very patient with me through all things even knowing about things about my breakup. just today he said i love u ...and i guess i feel the same too but am scared to say it? well,  why not give yourself a chance. i wouldnt say give him a chance, cos it appear to me that he is mature enough not to rush you. and he love you enough to do that. nothing is for sure in a relationship, but since he is so nice, worth a try. beside, age shouldnt be a barrier. good luck.
