This question is in regards to main-plate, FWB, GF, and LTRs, not your usual plates.

Knowing how women love, often a confession of love is easy to acknowledge and play off. On the other hand sometimes you'll have a situation where the girl insists on a serious, nervous tone with a "there's something I need to tell you" teary-eyed build up to the confession. How is it best to respond in this situation?

How best to respond when it's followed by a "do you feel the same/do you love me"?

Does the best response change if you do/don't love them?
