writes: My story may sound strange coming from some one my age. After three years of having the greatest friendship one could ask for, I suddenly find I have fallen in love with my best friend. He has stood by me during a couple toxic relationships, he was always ready with advice,and answers to my sometimes stupid questions My problem is this he seems to know my feelings,and at times even shows them. Yet he has yet to tell me he loves me. He shows it in so many ways, but never says it. He has been a perfect gentleman the entire three years. We have been mistaken as MR. and MRS. more times than I can count.Only to have him laugh about this, and never say a word to correct the error. I fear losing his friendship companionship if I tell him the depth of my feelings. We are in our early 60's.Simple question...How do I let him know my NEW feelings.

Well this is possibly one of the better questions regarding relationship that I encountered the past year or so because I'm in the same age bracket. But my response may seem tough on you. That is not the intent. Let me begin by asking, "Why question or criticize what has been good for you so far?"
And why jeopardize it? Additionally, when some of us become older and (perhaps) wiser, we tend to be very reluctant to toss around the word "LOVE" because it quickly becomes complicated - often heartbreaking.
