well, i think that true love isn't by definition mutual; it's by definition unconditional. so if you really, truly love someone, you'll love them even if they don't love you back. it might be difficult if they actively hate you or something, but i doubt anyone would start loving someone who absolutely hated them. so the correlation is between liking someone and them liking you...love is there, independent of other things. as for expressing interest, i agree with kevin...unless you're sure that it's just a week-long crush type thing, i believe you should let people know what you're thinking. for one thing, it eliminates confusion. and for me, i'd rather know what the other person is thinking. i mean, if they're interested, you can figure out where to go from there, and if they're not, knwoing that nothing is gonna happen makes it easier to get over them.
