@Ugly,
Ugly, I wish you could change your user name. It reflects what someone else asked you that you didn't reply... to... It bothers me that you use that and that you stated you would die for him.
I am about to get married, I would do anything to help my Fiance' . My Mother, Brother, Father, would give their Kidney to me if I needed it, visa versa. But, all is built on time. That undying love you talk of? Is from knowing in your heart and soul who you are bonded with and in the knowledge that it is so special, real.
I feel in my heart that you personally want love so bad that a wounded bird is what you need, (feel you need) that love we've all been there, that person who cries over his / her hurt and pain and we so want to ease it, so want to help them that our heart is overwhelmed. But, in that we are blinded and often it's words. And one day we find out that we were never loved in the way that we loved .. Be prepared to be hurt. And, please beautiful, see that you can do this but with reservations and with smarts or else, your pain may be simular to his.
I know you won't listen but when the times comes, I hope you remember and will be ok.
Now, yes, as I said, does not mean that you can not reach his heart which I call soul... one day.
Do you say anything? No, it's been 8 weeks not 8 months. Let your love grow if it can and be there. In my opinion, he will either see it slowly and fall for you (as it takes a lot longer with a man than a woman) first he is in lust, then he questions, then he remembers his ex, then he finally sees you and then it happens.
If you find after 6 or so he is still in the same place? Then at least he has worked feelings for you and then you have a chance of it working, now you have a chance of him walking.
