Ah Fair Youngmaid, you have hit on a classic problem, which is that under moments of great romantic stress, the cerebral and logical desperately go into attempting to clear everything up with rationality, because that is what they are good at, and feel comfortable with. This is usually the worst possible approach to take. "What do you mean by do I love you? I suppose there are different versions of what that might mean....for instance...."(large pie with suspicious substances baked into it hits face). Personally, I am not cerebral or logical at all in these situations, but I have seen these at work close up!

Boy, last night seems to have been a rough night all over. Terry, campfire, look after yourselves, please.
Yours, PeterT.
