I’ve heard a theory about relationships that couples get together when they start to know each other and find out they have certain similarities but mostly are opposites.

Now why would that be a reason to be interested in someone that doesn’t share most of what I like?

Well, supposedly because we find in that individual what we are missing ourselves, and it’s interesting to find another person who we think we can have a great time with, who we can share those thoughts with, who we can trade ideas, etc., you name it.

But there’s one thing that we are suppose to agree once we move ahead in the relationship. There will be a time when we can consider being in love, although, at least I, have a hard time saying it, I may express it in my own way but literally saying it, is something I’m not used to.

What can I blame it on? should I even blame it on something or somebody the fact that I lack of verbal feelings expression? I think not, I won’t do so, even if I say that never I heard the word “love” at home, much less “I love you” from anybody.

I can’t complaint of having a nice, regular childhood but maybe even my personality or character didn’t helped myself. I wasn’t dating until I was about seventeen and the ups and downs of not knowing how to maintain a good relationship maybe damaged my self esteem at some point. I can dare to say I’m open and honest with my significant other but the three word phrase or the “L” word are so difficult to come out of my mouth.
