just because it involves commitment , and everyone in this world is afraid of commitment especially at a young age and it is only possible to commit after 25 because then there is no option .

it's hard to say i love you to some one because you are scared you are afraid of hurt and sometimes commitment you don't say i love you if you don't mean it and you will know it is love when love is no longer a question?

It is so hard because you are either consciously afraid or subconsciously of scaring that person off and never being able to see them.

Second to that, Alphamale. I remembered the time I feel head-over-heels in love with this girl and it took a long time for me to say it...and I probably admitted it at a wrong time because when I did [tell her I love her], it was only a few weeks away before she totally leaves the country for 3 years!

Ah well...
It's also hard to tell a person "I love you" because you're probably scared, instead of scaring the person off, of getting heart-broken!
