I don’t believe it’s quite complicated as to introduce a new ideology/way of thinking or thread.@guru1000 I think I follow what you are saying. Recognize the true intent behind the words "she desires me in an extreme manner" and that will empower you to reply in kind.
I fully support what you are saying. In fact, I think that it's the best explanation of this situation that I've ever heard. I urge you to start a thread on this topic as I feel you (and a few others) are best equipped to give real world guidance on the topic.
That said, from what I am understanding, the members find themselves in situations where the female is imposing extreme feelings on them, sometimes even telling them "I love you", and the timing is just not there for the member to reply in kind BUT they recognize that this is a delicate, Make It or break It moment, and need to understand how to reply, affirming but not committing, so as not to break the moment.
Any phrases, responses, guidance, etc you can offer there?
Again, I urge you to start a thread as this response will get buried and it's an important dynamic to cover.

The problem only exists because most interpret/focus on words rather than intent. The issue arises as words themselves are limited in scope and further “corrupted” by social understanding or misuse which ascribe disparate interpretations to a word. Convolute this with our own proclivities/biases and thus our own interpretation of the word. A seemly word salad but great truth in the above.
Goes back to the discussion of truth and lies. What truly distinguishes truth from lie if the intent belies the words? For example, when she says, “I love you,” in most cases, she doesn’t love me in the sense to put my needs before her own, but rather she desires me in an extreme way. So why doesn’t she just say that, Is she lying? Well she’s describing her feelings in the best way she knows how to given her understanding of these words. So when an individual speaks to me, I try to understand the greater motivations and intent rather than the words themselves.
As to how to reply: Any answer that does not compromise her willingness to desire you in such a way serves both you and her ... even if you need to reciprocate, “I love you too.” Though, her “love” means she desires you greatly and your “love” means you want her to feel safe in her feelings to desire you greatly and have no intent to wrong her.
