How to feel

Growing up as a child, I was always taught to say how I felt about a person. "I love you" are 3 words that I don't take lightly and I love to share it with those that are deserving of its use. 

Women have always said those words back to me, but I never knew how men were so unattached from their feelings till I started dating one. 

Dating a woman, we threw the word I love you around like it was going out of style. You can tell she was raised around people who always admitted their love for one another. She felt those words, she showed those words, and she lived those words.

Dating a man,i.e. BF, I don't get the I love you as often. He states that he didn't grow up saying it willinilly. And I get that. But it is so hard to date someone like that. Especially when I being a Leo desires to be loved: showed, told, and lived. Sometimes I tell him I love him, and there's nothing said back. DRIVES ME INSANE! Then other times I feel like he slips up and says he loves me. And inside I jump for joy, but I have to play it cool. 

But no matter how BF was raised the fact remains that I love me some of him, and in his own way he loves me. 

Final thought: men, women, don't be afraid to tell someone how you truly feel because time is precious and the next day isn't guaranteed! 

I LOVE YOU BF!
