The Bold and The Beautiful spoilers tease Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) could propose marriage to Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) now that she admitted she loves him.

However, it might not be exactly enough “love” for her to say yes-she told Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) she loved Thomas for loving her with all her heart.

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Hope Logan Loves Him, But Is She In Love With Him?

The big question here is the kind of love Hope was admitting-it’s not exactly an admission of being in love with Thomas but he seemed to take it that way.

There’s no question that she cares about him, or she wouldn’t take caution to keep telling him that she’s not in love with him, and asking if he’s ok with that.

But love can take different forms, and this isn’t the strongest form of love to base a marriage on; that’s a form of love isn’t exclusive to romance.

Hope loves to be truly loved, and she gets that from Thomas much more than she ever did from Liam. She never was secure in Liam’s “love” like she is in Thomas’.

B & B Spoilers – Too Fast, Too Soon?

Hope could get spooked if Thomas comes on too strong with his love professions and his becoming very serious about her-Hope has always said no strings.

For one thing, her divorce isn’t final from Liam-and if Thomas goes gung ho even with just moving in together, she might back away! But Thomas sees this love profession as a stepping stone to a permanent future with Hope, if nothing else, although he’s been trying to stay with Hope’s lead.

He has been trying to keep the pressure off, which has given Hope time to ease into a true and mutual love connection with him.

It wouldn’t be normal for Thomas to not at least be considering marriage down the road, so he needs to continue to be patient.

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Slow And Steady

As long as Thomas keeps things slow and steady, and doesn’t get too eager, things should be okay-but if he rushes into a marriage proposal it could catch her off guard.

Hope could be scared of rushing into another marriage commitment, so it might be best if he suggests moving in together first and see how she reacts.

On the other hand, now that she’s said the word “love” in connection with her feelings for Thomas, the floodgates could open!

A marriage commitment from Thomas, who she knows loves her the way she wants and needs to be loved, may be too much for her to resist. But, at this point, things could go either way.
