Is not knowing knowing?

I have this opinion that in relationships no one wants to be the one to hurt the other person, so when it comes time to have a serious discussion about the relationship's state of affairs, the easy answer is "I don't know". It's been my experience that this answer is in fact the culmination of all the questions, fears, and doubts that a relationship produces, and it in fact is in and of itself the answer. If you don't know how you feel about a person, then I'm of the opinion that you are in fact certain that said person just isn't the one for you. If there were no doubt about your personal feelings toward someone, wouldn't you readily say "I love you" or "You're the one I want"? I can't imagine being hopelessly in love with someone and only saying "i don't really know how I feel." Of course I know! I love you! It's a no brainer. There shouldn't even be room for debate.

At my age...almost 31 now...I simply cannot sit around waiting for months or years on end for someone to figure out whether or not I just might be the one he wants. You either want me or you don't. And my feelings won't be hurt either way, but please, have the courtesy to respect my time. Don't waste it on your not knowing.
