What do I hear when he says “tell me you love me”? 

Commit to caring for and about me… be my friend. Be a safe place for me. Be involved in my life, my feelings, my dreams, my emotions… invest in me, be willing to help me… with everything. Let your heart become mine and hold mine with the most precious care. Envision a life with me. Plan to create or merge your life with mine. Always try to make us work for me.  

If you get the vibe someone doesn’t genuinely like you… or if they don’t put forth effort to like you the way you want to be liked… trust it. Something is present that sends you that message… or maybe you do like you, but you don’t value you… want you… idk it’s something other than what it should be… it’s not safe there. 

“Don’t ask me to…”
