    He is hesitating to express his own thoughts. (or his own ideas)

    Are you waiting because you don't have any definitive plans yet?

    Will you love her one day?

    He is single-minded in his determination to achieve (whatever) cause.
    (Also you can use the words steadfast, resolute as well)

    Scared of not making a profit. (or Afraid of not making any money)

    By hook or by crook
    At the eleventh hour
    A red letter day
    Once in a blue moon
    Cats and dog rain
    Pull your socks up
    Roll out the sleeves
    Come to a halt

    Just do a Google search for English Idioms.... You will find many of these and their meanings. Don't have to ask anyone, It is not practical for someone to post them here ;-(

    Try to think in English. Translating while speaking will slow your speaking ability. Further understand that English is a totally different language thus don’t try to translate sinhala words as it is.
