he used to tell me he loves me everyday. at first i never use to answer him. them i said it back. however i never said it first to him. one night we were talking for 2 hours and we hang up. he called right back and said" you can't tell me that you love me" I said: i'll say it when im ready. However, i did love him but wanted to make sure that he really loves me, and don't just say it for somethingelse. at the end of the day, im so happy i waited to take that step.
