Limit yourself to three warnings! Give yourselves some space — they may just need some distance away from you to meet someone else, or simply move on. Hopefully, your time apart will mean that you can spend time together in the future as friends. And then it comes… they tell you that they love you.
Thank them. Tell them how sweet it is and how you feel lucky to be loved by someone as nice as them. Be honest and tell them how much you like spending time with them and that you want to see how this relationship develops. Have you been in love before, and if so, how far into the relationship was it before you felt that way?
When you fell head over heels in love in a previous relationship and had your heart broken, did you put up some unconscious defenses to prevent yourself from getting hurt again? Are these walls now stopping you from falling in love with someone who you could genuinely love? There will likely be drama. Things will be said. Things may even be thrown.
Or things could just be plain uncomfortable. Of course, you see this coming so you get the added bonus of worrying about this until the day comes. Even if you are happy things ended and maybe even happy with all that the relationship has taught you, the inevitable realization will dawn on you: you are once again alone. No one knows, but dating the wrong person for a while allowed you to ignore the fact.

During high school, one of my closest friends was a boy who lived very close to me—about a minute walk from my house. Because we lived in such close proximity, we spent tons of time with each other, often meeting up after school and on the weekends to watch movies and hang out.
We had similar senses of humor, so we were always laughing when we were together, but we were also capable of having serious conversations. He was such an easy person to talk to and we got along so well, so it made sense that our friendship slowly evolved into something more. When we first started dating, I was on cloud 9. I truly felt like I was dating my best friend, which is what I always wanted out of a romantic relationship. Sadly, our romantic connection didn ' t come nearly as easily as our friendship.
Jealousy would often invade our interactions, causing a lot of tension between the two of us and the rest of our friend group. In addition, he was fairly moody and demanded a lot of my time and attention, meaning that a few of my friendships suffered. Still, the good outweighed the bad, and I was young and inexperienced, so I thought that my constant anxiety about the state of our relationship was just part of dating someone.
The real catch of our relationship, however, was that I always knew that I wasn ' t in love with him. He would often tell me he loved me and I knew the words were very serious for him, so I would panic and say it back.
I really wanted to love him—he was my best friend and ultimate confidant, after all—but I knew my feelings didn ' t run as deep as his. It wasn ' t until I moved away from my town and we attempted a long distance relationship that I realized that I would never feel for him the way he felt for me. After I realized I wasn ' t ever going to fall in love with him, I ended things. It was difficult for both of us, but I know the news hit him harder than it hit me.
