Is it normal to want to tell him i love him but not want to tell him?

I love this guy and I have for about three years now we use to date but we broke up because we had a lot of other things going on in our life and ended up feeling to stressed out to be in a relationship but we stayed friends at the time i hadn`t realized that i was in love with him i only realized it about two months after we had broken up but i never said anything because i`ve been hurt a lot before and wasn`t sure if i could handle possibly being hurt yet again and for a while we lost touch and became busy with our life's and now its been three years and i can`t seem to get him off my mind i still really love him we recently talked for a bit and i almost said i love you to him but got scared and said something else so i wouldn`t say it i don`t know if its just that i`m scared of putting myself out there because of the experience i`ve had in the past with ex`s but i don`t know how to just say it i really do love him so is it normal that i`m having a hard time telling him?

    Man that sentence is huge and hard to say without a breath. Nice one.

    If you've been holding it in for 3 years and still want to say it and feel it, you should just say it get it off your chest and see what happends. The worst is yall still go without really seeing eachother but then you might be able to get some closure if you finally know how he feels after this long, you know? And if things don't go how you hope the least you can do is be able to move on. Best of Luck :)

    They say the best of romantic relationships are also the best of friends.
    Seems like this could be love.
    Ask him out somewhere and find out. Just spurting out I love you, over the phone won't be the impact you think it could be, you need to actually go out for a night (or day) or two first.
