would it make it awkward for him to express his feelings? how much time should I give him to respond? (we had a casual relationship for over a year & he just recently had to move back home) what if he doesn't respond, does that mean he doesn't care?

he doesn't really like to talk about his feelings to well over the phone that's why I used email.

Hell no. I personally think it is better to talk about your feelings through e-mail. That way it gives the other person a chance to explain what they really feel. Your not rushed to give an answer that you might regret, because you know you can't take it back once you have said it. So e-mail away, and give at least a full day to respond. Maybe two if they are busy with things like moving.

Long distance relationships are hard anyway. To express how you feel about him now that he is not around is a little past due.
Maybe he'd like to respond but doesn't want to say that he doesn't feel that way about you in an email. How hurt would you be then? You kind of put him in a sticky situation. Maybe you should email again and explain that it is ok if he doesn't feel the same that it wouldn't change your friendship and that you just felt the need to put yourself out there because it is better to know than to never know.

Guys are simple creatures. They do not have feeling that we females would recognize. They are totally weirded out when we females try to explain our feelings to them. Don't even try with an email, he won't understand. Don't take it personally if he ignores it. You should just assume that he will read it, think you are just venting, and he will probably not even respond. If he has moved far enough away to make dating a problem, then just let it go. If it meant more to either of you than a casual relationship, then a) he wouldn't have moved, or b) you would have moved to be with him, or c) he would have asked you to come with him.

I email the guy I am casually dating about stuff. I try to keep it simple and to the point - tell him straight up what I am feeling.
Most recently, I voiced concern about losing what we might have over something really stupid. He said "No, don't worry about that stuff, we are fine."
But that is the first time he has ever responded to one of those emails. Most of the time he just reads it and then talks to me about it later...

As i dont know the fella i cant really say anything about him.
If you,ve sent him an email & you get no response wait a couple of days, then resend it.
If you still get no response then send him 1 saying see you around!! If you get no response from this 1 then you know the score.
A man should NEVER feel intimidated by a girl expressing her feelings towards him, i mean why should he? & vise versa
If either party feel this then you are not suited & it see ya later time.

A lot of men are uncomfortable talking about feelings.
I wouldn't send him anymore emails if I were you. Let him make the next move.
Besides, you said your relationship was casual. Don't be surprised if he doesn't feel the same.

its not intimidation, unless dealing with one weak male.
its really an annoyance men by nature don't express themselves the same way. we get sad we complain about something pointless or hit someone. its simple genetics.. girls talk about their feelings and personal stuff without concern. men don't do that they don't want people to know their feelings nor do they want know other s feelings unless theres an er gent need for affirmative action. but that doest mean lets talk about your relationship problem u will only strike a nerve . if its that bad just bail he ll get over it.

Those who are worthy of receiving that letter will respond to it with honesty--whether or not they feel the same way towards you. Otherwise, you are just wasting your time with someone who isn't decent enough to offer a reply.

email is the worst media to discuss relationships, feelings, emotions, love, hate, etc. you can easily come off wrong. Call him and talk to him.

Kind of depends on the maturity level of who you're talking about. I would think that if there was "something there"...that he could express it in some way.
