I'd like to believe that at least one page of that particular webcomic has hit us all where it counts and makes us feel as if that page was made after the creator listened to us walking down the street or something.

http://xkcd.com/55/

That's the one that hit me like a ton of bricks. If you knew me personally, you'd know that I rub logic all over everyone I encounters' faces (guiltily enough, enjoying it along the way), almost to the point where they'd start getting upset or angry at me. I can put everything within reason, given I know enough about the topic at hand using said knowledge or even math equations in some instances (albeit nowhere near as complex as the ones on the page).

Anyway, I caught sight of this lil' doozy after I broke up with the girl I was going out with (read: "Typical(?) Long Distance Relationship Break-up Problem" if you care to) and it reminded me of how I was in a relatively similar, if not identical, scenario to what you are currently in, OP. I was trying to find "logical bases" as to whether/how/why I should tell this person how I felt about her. This went on for quite a while, and just as the comic illustrated - it didn't work out as well as one would plan. Trying to logically break love down leaves you with nothing but not just pain in the heart, but a sprain in the brain.

Aaanyway...my little side-store...aside...(ba-da-dum...pshhh), I'm glad to see you're taking the steps you feel you need to take. You've already decided to let her know when "the time is right". That's more confidence I've ever had I had when it came to telling the one I cared about how I felt, so my hat's off to you. Best of luck.
