Yes I guess I was just worried, not about being rejected, but if it was out of place for me to do. He had already said he loved me, I think. My hearing can be quite bad at times. But he seems fine with it.

I find the words "I love you" way over used. But I know when I love someone. We've already talked a lot and it's a one step at a time thing, and he knows that. I'm just glad to have a friend now that is getting closer to me. I guess I feel I should have waited a bit. I already decided I don't want anyone else now. Guess I wanted him to know that.

Thanks again everyone.
