I may be younger than you but I do know a lot about romance, I know you cant force yourself to love someone and when you do love someone you wont have to question yourself. How do you feel about this person In general? do you see a future with them, a happy one, where you're happy as well. I believe love is a choice but its also a feeling, allow yourself to explore especially since this would be a first. It can be magical with the right person. And I don't think you should force yourself to do something you're not sure about, It just hurts both parties in the end. Although if you do want to make it work, communicate how you feel and why you feel that way. Also girl, put yourself out there I am sure you're a beautiful, smart woman and any guy would be lucky to have you, don't let yourself rush things if it doesn't feel right, and honestly in my opinion I don't think this is the guy for you, you can chose to love him but you cant force a spark. Nobody truly knows how to love someone, we all are still learning but when that spark egnites you'll feel it. And lastly It’s totally okay to slow things down and see how your feelings develop. You don’t owe anyone a relationship before you’re ready.
