Of course it's OK. Telling him you love him first, or even telling him you love him and not getting a response, doesn't negate the fact that you love him. Love is a hard thing to articulate, but even a harder thing to find.
It's very common to feel bashful about spitting out the eL word. It makes your feelings official. It sort of nails your emotions on the relationship tree for all to see and that can be nervy as hell.
Once that four-letter word rolls off your heart a giant firecracker has been lit. Naturally, something big has been set in motion.
Will he...
1. Tell you he loves you
2. Tell you he doesn't love you
3. Want to make a serious change (good or bad) in your relationship
4. Piss himself, shed tears of blood and turn into an Avatar
So, there are only two things to do: play it safe and mute or recognize that saying "I love you" is not only a gift for the person in front of you, but perhaps an even greater gift for yourself. A personal declaration that your soul has been touched and wants more -- and that's worth screaming about.
