"I love you." It is not really recommmended to say.

Why is that you ask?

Michele, the wonderful lady who wrote the books says (paraphrasing here)

Saying, "I love you." Reminds them (the WAS/MLCer) that they don't love you. (At least right now, or they don't think they do...and lets face it. Not thinking they do...is the same thing right now as not.)

So...not a big fan of saying "I love you."

Especially if you are hoping they say it back.

Asking questions and making statements, expecting or wanting them to answer or respond in a certain way? Bad idea right now. VERY bad idea.

Try to avoid question you 'want' answers to. Or rather answers you hope they answer in a way you WANT to hear.

It REALLY hurts when they don't answer that way...and...it's your fault because you set yourself up for it.
