A Instinctively, I hugged her back and said "nice to see you" and "I love you". By the time I realized what I said, it was too late.
Between saying ILY and asking if she was coming over tomorrow, I really screwed up.
DOH! It was an accident, hope you didn't get some weak wimpy look on your face when she didn't say it back though.
You are aware why not to say it. I's tough man. Cut yourself some slack and move forward. Make her come to you.
We walked out right after I said it, and I didn't react in any way when she did not respond. I also managed to not react when she said she wasn't coming over tomorrow. Even I get it a tiny bit right every now and then.
