What is wrong with a boy telling a girl he loves her? What is wrong if she doesn't love him back?
You answer this yourself in the very next paragraph: I won't tell him until I know that it is God's will and if it's not, then I will view it as a learning situation. I will morn for what never was and I will be greatful for what can be. If I ever catch myself living in unrequented love, I'll know I'm not walking in God's path. I'll know I'm not truating in Him to guide me to what is best for me.
It's not a trivial thing to try and figure out what is and what is not God's will. I have been painfully wrong on several occasions and it's... disheartening at best to discover that what you believed in your heart of hearts was just dead wrong.
Moreover, for me that's an announcement that brings with it a change in relationship no matter what the answer from my hypothetical, potential beloved - that's a very clearly-drawn line that you've crossed over which there is no going back. Things will be different between you either way it goes. And that's scary.
I really like that movie.
