I have found the one! I'm madly in love with him!

I've known him since high school. We've been best friends for 6 years. Then dated for 2 and a half years. But for the past 6 months he has been stressed out. (Not by me- with work and family) So, we have been on a break for the past 6 months. I give him his space but we are still best friends and I help him when I can.

I never told him how I felt. But he knows that I care for him. But I want to tell him that I am in love with him. But I know that he is really stressed out so I shouldn't mention anything.

Is it really bad to hide my feelings? When would be the right time to tell him? Maybe when we get back together?

estanie agony auntthank you guys for your opinion! i do wanna tell him... but i think i will wait because i don't want to scare him away when he is dealing with alot! i want me and him to be happy but he has to be happy with himself first. i feel so bad because he is depress and i don't know how i can help. and he is slowly pushing me away when i wanna help. but he still wants me around! i'm confused... but i love him and can't help but wait

ilovebowsandcherries agony auntwhenever you feel the time is right.

i mean who knows he may be feeling the same as you thinking "i want to tell her i love her but don't want to jynx it or anything" when you feel you think it's time to say it then say it to him.

if you feel that he'll be too stressed out right now then leave it give him time to be alone and think on things and sort out his family and work issues, but then again if you feel he has to know as a sort of light at the end of the tunnel then tell him.

i mean you are very sensible to leave him be and i am sure he really appreciates it so he knows you obviously care for him alot and i think he does care alot for you he may have the same feelings as you but is afraid to show them until he is actually sorted incase he feels he's just saying it rather than saying it and meaning it.

if you feel you should tell him now then do so but if he is very stressed with work and family you may want to leave it abit until things become a bit more clearer for him.

Hope this helps hun. Glad you've found your soulmate :) x x x
