The actor talks to Bonobology about being vulnerable, expressing love, and giving 100% in a relationship
What do you think about love?
I am single and I am not mentally ready to be in a relationship. Love has always been a tad complicated for me. I am vulnerable and when it comes to the matters of love, I don't think that I can express myself too well. Look at me, I can't even tell my sister how much I love her, how would I express my feelings to any other girl? When it boils down to expressing your love, I suck at it. I find it better to keep my heart closed and not express what I am feeling. I believe actions speak louder than words and so I expect my girl to find out about my feelings for her. I am vulnerable and I don't want to get hurt. See how complicated it is? I find it better to keep quiet than get hurt.
How would express your love?
Simple everyday things can mean love. I mean, I can just show my love by making my girl a cup of coffee in the morning. If I choose to stay at home and let my girlfriend have a party with her colleagues, that is love. When somebody commits an act of love, the other person feels it. You suddenly start feeling secure in a relationship. That is love.
Is that the sole reason for you to not get into a relationship?
