LOVE and the jaded New Yorker

They say holding out is a mature and healthy thing to do, but I also think that wallowing in your own sentiment just to keep your cool and hold your ground is both selfish and counter-productive.

I'm saying this because I feel I've become so jaded that I insist on waiting for the other one to say "I love you" before I can own up to my own feelings.

Is delaying such gratification a sign of emotional growth, or have I simply become too cautious for my own good?

Why have I allowed myself to turn one quick but meaningful proclamation into a silly test of endurance?

Wish I knew.
