Hmm. Thank you Scarlet. That is something to consider. I have one friend who I tell 3 or 4 times a week that I love her and she has said it back exactly once, in a over the shoulder as she was walking away sort of thing. So it's sort of weird. I saw a post that she replied to on Facebook once about saying "I love you" and how she says she rarely says it and it means a lot when she does say it. So I think that with that particular friend, we just come from two different views of it.
With this T, I have been signing my texts xoxoxo for a while so she probably already knew that I love her. I don't think it surprised her at all. I surprised myself by sending that text to her, and perhaps my rashness has gotten me unsettled now. I don't know if I can have that conversation with her tomorrow on what love means to her and what loves means to me but it might be something we can have in the future. Thanks for the suggestion, Scarlet. I appreciate it.
