The ten reasons why Picard never told Beverly that he loved her:

10. Was jealous that she looked better in a wig than he ever did
in a toupee.

9.  Too busy reading exciting archaeological journals to notice
the gorgeous redhead sitting at his breakfast table.

8.  Afraid that Vash would punch his lights out if he ever told
her what he really thought about her.

7.  Beverly really his second choice. Was heart-broken after the
departure of "good friend" Miles O'Brien.

6.  Bev not terribly interested in anyone with human DNA.

5.  Thought of having Wesley as a stepson too revolting to bear.
Better a Ferengi or Q instead.

4.  She prefers her Earl Grey on ice.

3.  Thought of marriage too terrifying for any true Frenchman with
a British accent.

2.  Was afraid she'd declare him "unfit to command" every time he
forgot to put down the toilet seat cover.

1.  She kept asking him to dress up in that "really cute" Locutus
costume for kinky sex.
