I am aware of that.... However, in this case, I feel the writer is concerned by what people would say about them because she has only known the guy for a few days. Most people don't believe that you can fall in love with someone after only knowing them a few days, but I can attest that it is possible through personal experiences. What I am trying to get across is that this person shouldn't worry about people judging or saying things to bring how she feels down. If you are in love, you are in love! Only you really know how you feel. So just be proud of it!
Some people have past experiences in which they thought they loved someone right away, and realized that was a misconception later. I feel the writer chose to make this a secret as a safe way to "be proud" like you said... only without potentially receiving public backlash. It may be easy to not care what other people think, but it's not as easy to stop them from voicing their opinion, especially if they are your friends that know you very personally (as many cliques on this site do). Plus, you are right, only you know how you really feel- so other people can often say some dumb/and or offensive things in response to a regular Bloop entry.
You do pose a point. I guess I just view things a little differently though because for me, I expect my friends to support me whether they agree or disagree with my decisions. Again though, I see your point and appreciate the response.
Then take it slow and see where it goes, you're going to want to get to know him better if you just met him a few days ago. People get themselves into trouble when they rush.
Ii know the feeling. My fiance and I fell in love after a few days, and here were are almost 2 1/2 years later expecting another child (first one died in utero and was stillborn.).
