Telling someone how you feel

[CanIinterestyouinasarcasticcomment]

Name changed for this....

In a fairly new relationship, with a very openly emotional man, not afraid to tell me how he feels etc and he's wanting feedback from me.

The problem is, I spent 12 years with an emotionally stunted and very cold man, which I worry has rubbed off on me, so I am struggling to vocalise my feelings. I'm not being forced to express how I feel but when he is saying lovely sweet things to me, or complimenting me, all I seem to respond with is "thank you" 😳and I'm giving nothing back.

Where do I start to verbalise how I feel? I really really like him, but that just sounds flat.

There are many ways you can express your feelings, one being writing a letter. You could also express your feelings with actions and doing nice things for him. If you decide to write a letter don’t be afraid to tell him why you have difficulty verbalising your feelings.
good luck.
