Dear Tarot: I’m Crazy in Love, Should I Tell Him?
Dear Tarot,
I’m crazy in love with my boyfriend of about 6 months, but we haven’t said “I love you” yet. We are very comfortable with each other—we laugh, we flirt, and the chemistry is insane!—but we’ve both been divorced (plus he has kids) and saying I love you does carry real world weight so its scary.
I’m thinking about telling him as a gift on Valentine’s Day with a special present, but that would mean I’d be the one saying it first which makes me feel hella vulnerable. Even still, part of me wants him to know that I do love him.
What should I do?
Tight Lipped & Tender Hearted
Dear Tight Lipped,
There’s nothing in the cards that indicates you should be scared to share your feelings! In fact, almost every card pulled points to the fact that doing so will make you feel confident and empowered in your connection. Right now, you’re on the climb up that first hill of the roller coaster and it can feel a little daunting not knowing what comes next, but soon you’ll feel the rush of that first drop and want to get back in line to do it all over again.
The Wheel of Fortune is in the advice position of your reading which, in this case, means that you should enjoy the good things in your life as they come. Every ride in life comes with peaks and valleys, but you’ve gotta focus on the upswings. Think of all of the I Love You’s that you’ll gain in the long run by saying it sooner rather than later.
The Queen of Cups underneath the deck indicates that you’re keeping secret from the world (and yourself) just how confident and sexy in love you can truly be. Taking the power of this decision into your own hands in a way that feels authentic will help unlock that side of yourself a little more. Plus, the cards indicate that you’ll feel a sense of pride in your accomplishment once it’s done.
And finally, your boyfriend is likely feeling all of the same hesitations as you! Choosing to take the pressure off his shoulders shows even more how much you care.
We all deserve to be so lucky in love. 💝
