I started seeing a guy the Feb 08' everything was going good after 3 months we lost touch with each other but almost 2 months later we got back in touch and started seeing each other during this time he became sick and was sick for most of the time we were dating he then found out that he has kidney problems. Well a week before we would have been seeing each other for a year he stop contacting me, a few weeks ago we got back in touch with each other and started talking, he told me that he stop contacting me because he felt like I only wanted him for sex and that I didn't ask how he was during the time that he was sick, this is somewhat true, during the time that we were seeing each other I asked him if he wanted a relationship he said that he didn't know, I told that to mean that he didn't want a relationship but he just didn't want to tell me that, so to save myself from being hurt I tried to not inquire about anything that would bring about an emotional response from me. We have been in contact a lot since we have gotten back in touch. I told him that I missed him and he asked why I said that I missed everything about him inside and out, he said that he missed me but wouldn't say why, then he asked why was I interested in him (he is almost 15 years older than me, he is divorced and has 3 kids) I told him that he was everything I am not and that I liked that he is a family man, I asked him if he was interested in me and he said that he was not sure... It took me awhile to realize that I love him but I have not told him that I love him... I am not the type that loves easily or expresses feelings, I am afraid that if I tell him how I feel about him for fear that he doesn't feel the same... I am confused and I don't know what to make of his responses. He is shy and tends to keep his feelings to himself.. My friends tell me that I should just take a chance and put myself out there... I need help any advice would be great!

U should tell him how u feel bt don't say that you love him just yet because sum men feel trappeed when u mention love
