Bob looked in Alice's eyes for long enough to express the fact that he was about to say something important. He was reenacting what he was about to say in his head, to the point that the silence between them lasted a few seconds too many, and as a result, Bob hastily started his confession.
“I love you Alice. By that I mean that I have gathered enough evidence to suggest that you would make a good mate. My priors of you were most positive, and I find your refusal to engage with anything you cannot rationally explain away to be most compatible with my views. So all this to say that it is more accurate to say that I believe I love you, and I am confident that it would be mutually beneficial for us to spend time with one another, mate and reproduce.”
