Agreed 100%.

My musical friend, unless you're already in a deep, trusting and meaningful relationship with a woman, never under any circumstances whatsoever, share feelings like that. There's a world of difference between what they say and what they mean when women say, "I want someone who's not afraid of sharing their feelings with me." It causes a fundamental unbalancing of the relationship dynamic, and the result is exactly what you've experienced: a huge power shift away from you and towards her.
Disagreed 100%. Guys who are emotionally honest are hot.

I am totally in love with a guy who put his guts out there when the only deep thing he'd had with me is something I can't discuss in mixed company. If people were totally honest about feelings and intentions, wouldn't dating be easier? Why shouldn't things be like that?
