I wouldn't say it "doesn't count." It matters to you. She's just... not there yet. You've been through a lot together, and you've loved her for a long time. She just isn't at that... level yet.

[Like a month ago when she told Ed she loved him. He wasn't ready for that. Winry knew she loved him even before she came here, and hasn't stopped loving him. But he... for him all this is new and recent. He's definitely a few steps behind.]
