Love advice please

I left the dating game about 5yrs ago to take care of my ailing parents,who have since past away.I started going out again a couple of years ago,but never met anyone that special.Well about 3 months ago a girl that I had dated about 10 yrs ago looked me up.We have both changed in many positive ways,and I couldnt be happier.I think she feels the same.I am so crazy about her,and feel like the luckiest guy on the earth.Here is my question.I know I am truly in love with her.Its been so long since I fealt this way I dont know how to tell her.I dont want to come off as corny or weak,but this is how I feel.I am also worried how to respond if she doesnt recipricate.Any advice would be appreciated.Thanks for any advice.

few???

So MCD how long you seein her? Does she seem interested too?
I personally feel that too many folks throw the words around and most regular folks (been dating while you did hospice duty)are leery of someone saying too soon. You will be overwhelmed by the feeling cause its new and you been dry so long. Be confident or fake it. Nerves are cute on a puppy.
When you tell her dont bleed all over her either.
Take your time and watch her moves.
Does she want more of your time without you pushing it?
Does she touch you first?
Does she initiate the plans for your next meeting?
Watching her body language is a key. Just dont rush in.
Give her the gift of anticipation....

If she looked you up after that amount of time, she is very interested in you. I believe in honest communication, tell her how your are feeling. But take your time with your words, be confident, gentle, observant and say them at the right time like EVERLAST said.

Thanks to both of you guys

I am with brick here. I think you just need to sit down and talk about how you both feel towards each other. It does not have to be all corny as you like to put it, but it does need to be honest and real. Nothing wrong with letting her know your true feelings. And how about this? Would it not be better to find out now where her heart is and the level of comittment now rather than invest much more of your time and emotions into a relationship to find out she really does not feel the same? I think you both have a right to know where you both stand. From the sound of things you both sound like you are in the same head space with this. I wish you all the best and hope it goes well. Just remember, you are not asking for a wedding here, just where her feelings are for you and vice versa!!

You are a good man, by taking care of your family first, it tells me you have good qualities. If you ever get married and have children, that will mean alot in sustaining your marriage. Love can be great, if it is meant to be. I believe if you dated this girl 10 years ago and she looked for you, she has some strong feelings that she has sustain over the years,. Evidentually, you left a lasting impression. Communication is a must in any relationship, but using your common sense will mature it. Take a deep breath, it is 3 months, tell her a little at a time on your feelings, until you feel comfortable.
