The other evening, he said to me, "Yellow Gal. In case you can't tell, I really like you."
I got that tingly tickly feeling inside my chest. It was so tingly and tickly it almost hurt. But instead of reciprocating the sentiment, I could only say "You do?"
I'm such a wuss.

Actually, YL, I think my response was the complete opposite of what you characterize. I think my refusal to reciprocate the sentiment is a refusal to relinquish my so-called "power." It was self-protective.
I don't think it's necessarily a good thing to close oneself off emotionally in a relationship. A wise naysayer once said (as it was told to him by another girl), the only way you can achieve true intimacy is by allowing yourself to be vulnerable. This is probably the reason why I've never been the first to say "I love you" to a guy.
Allowing myself to be vulnerable is like holding my still-beating heart up in front of the person I'm giving it to, hoping that he won't stab it with a pickaxe, and knowing full well he could.
It's scary. Like I said, I'm a wuss.
I see. Good. Yellow Gal is playing her cards better than I had thought!
