Confess or confide?
Hi,
I am just curious how people describe this process when someone is telling how he or she falls in love with another person. Do we say he confesses his feeling/ opens up his feeling/ confides in her? or just tells her how much he loves her?
What is the right one? Are they all grammatically correct? Which one is mostly used dating or romantic relatioship?

"Opens up his feeling" is less commonly used. The others are okay. I presume he's giving this information to the object of his affection.
