“Sex without Love”
by Sharron Olds
How do they do it, the ones who make love
with out love? Beautiful as dancers,
gliding over each other like ice skaters
over the ice, fingers hooked
inside each other’s bodies, faces
red as steak, wine, wet as the
children at birth whose mothers are going to
give them away. How do they come to the
come to the come to the God come to the
still waters, and not love
the one who came there with them, light
rising slowly as steam off their joined
skin? These are the true religious,
the purists, the pros, the ones who will not
accept a false Messiah, love the
priest instead of the God. They do not
mistake the lover for their own pleasure,
they are like great runners: they know they are alone
with the road surface, the cold, the wind,
the fit of their shoes, their over-all cardiovascular
health--just factors, like the partner
in the bed, and not the truth, which is
the single body alone in the universe
I have always really liked this poem, partly because I am someone who cannot sleep with someone and pretend I have no feelings for them. I know there are people who can, I just don't know any of them.
Tell him how you feel. You may get hurt, or rejected, but you may also be pleasantly surprised at the result. The main thing is you'll never know unless you put yourself out there...

.....could be tricky. Best not to just blurt it out!
I am assuming you really like the guy, right? Why not invite him out....or round to your place for a meal.....he will think he is going to be given some more sex, but you canuse the opportunity to let him know that you like him.
Be direct, but subtle (not too subtle, but...)
But don't write him a poem or go onabout how you want to have his babies or he will disappear faster than you can say "Heeeelllllllppppppppp!"
With most guys, if he likes you in the same way he's have asked you out again...but not always. Give it a try and I wish you lots of luck!!

You can't sleep with someone and deny how you feel, whether its a good or bad feeling
TELL HIM HOW YOU FEEL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE..
Your silence could give him the wrong impression and he may go away!

You can tell someone else and I am sure, that someone will tell him. So, although you will sleep with him, he will simply sleep with his back facing you ;) So as to prevent such unbecoming situation.

Just tell him
You're just bringing yourself down by locking up your feelings.
Just toll him
