The "do not say I love you" rule means to not pursue. If she's the one calling you and saying she loves you, by all means say it back. But don't follow her around or email her every day, etc. See the point?

You're in the same place most people on this board are: a place of uncertainty. Only by being able to live with the uncertainty you can save your M.

Love and respect yourself, but also be patient if your heart still tells you to stay in the M.

Best wishes to you...
