Is it a good idea to tell someone you love and or care about all of the feelings you have for them?

At times I think when a person knows too much they may take it for granted...

Good question. I think sometimes it's not a good idea to lay your whole heart out there, especially if you don't know how the other person feels. That said, I have a tendency to do that too, but I do so with the knowledge that my heart may be ground into dust in the process. I've developed a thicker skin over the years though, and still pretty much speak my mind.

I think if someone takes you for granted just because you have let them know how much you care about them, you may be with the wrong person. The right partner will cherish that information and will not hesitate to return those feelings. The right person will not take you for granted because he/she thinks they can treat you however they want and you will still be there because you worship the ground they walk on. Do you know what I mean?

Consistently expressing whom you actually are as a person is a natural filter for people you should and shouldn't be with.

Trying to be strategic or tactical about what you say to a relationship prospect is like trying to control who you should and shouldn't be with.

The only reason to do that is a dishonest agenda. You want them to want you because they're good looking, or they have something you want, things like that.

And yet when you do it, what you'll find is it never works out for you, it's like by trying to have power over what works for you makes the situation no longer work for you.

When you're not being yourself openly, you chase away what you really want, to win what you're going to find out, you never really wanted but just thought you did.

In other words, have a little faith. The alternative is create your own hell with your life.



I have noticed however than often the maxim among women is "being with the wrong guy is better than being alone", when in fact the opposite is the truth. Hence many guys often refer to women generally as crazy as a two-bob watch.
