Seriously what's with the back off on the needy clingy sh*t posts about? She's been going with this guy for years, and simply wants to hear that he still loves her.
Why is it so damn hard for guys to say "I love you", all girls want to hear it, it doesn't make her needy or clingy for wanting to hear him tell her he loves her.
Clingy and needy is wanted to be with you ever waking minute and for you to have no other friends, and not spend any time away from her except to sleep and work. That's clingy, wanting to hear "I love you" is not clingy. Love is a special thing, and not to be taken for granted, you guys think oh well they've been together 3 yers now, he doesn't need to tell her he loves her anymore? I don't think so....my room mates have been together 5 years, and are getting married soon, and I hear them tell each other they love each other at least 2-3 times a day, and qutie often the only time I'm with them is in the car to and from work.
Damn it...there is a girl I love, we've never even gone out, and I tell her I love her. I know she won't say it back, but I still say it, and it makes her smile. Girls enjoy hearing it, and if they need it to, well so what? You guys can pretend you have no hearts or feelings, personally I'd like to be told that I'm loved as many times a day as possible, and if a girl wants the same, I can hardly grudge her that.
I see many posts oh well maybe he's having to rough of a week to tell you he loves you. Did you ever think maybe *she's* having a rough week to, and just needs to be comforted a bit?
Ack ok now I'm ranting..I'm done....(for now)
