Hi all, I’m needing some different perspectives from men who may have been told by someone that they are in love with them. I also just am seeing what an initial reaction would be even if this hasn’t happened to you. Some context, I (22F) confessed my love for a guy that I’ve been seeing on and off for about 6 months. We were initially just seeing each other casually at first and we both began catching feelings but had a lot to work on. I “ended it” about two months ago, because it just felt like we were hurting eachother. We are both extremely avoidant. We both had our fuck ups and I ultimately decided it was best we didn’t see eachother as often as we were. We went for about two weeks with not speaking, but then started seeing each other again. It’s been a month of us trying to keep it as casual as it was before. We both agree it’s better that we aren’t on top of each other because we were getting complacent. Anyways, in the last week my feelings that I have tried to avoid throughout the duration of him and I being together have come more to the surface. I’ve realized I don’t see myself with anyone else nor do I want to be with anyone else. He gets me and it physically hurts me inside with how in love I am with him. I fucked up a lot before and he continues to let me back in, as do I. This weekend, I was spending some time at his apartment and we had a really good time together. He left for work and I was in his apartment and just got extremely emotional. I wrote him a long letter confessing that I am in love with him. I wrote it and just dipped from his apartment and I haven’t heard anything since. He knows from me drunkenly confessing this a few weeks ago, but this time it truly came from the heart. So, here lays my question. As a man, if you were being confessed to like this, how would you feel? I’m not trying to get into his head on how he feels, I just more so want to see if me doing this was overstepping. submitted by /u/EggSignal2662
