Some context does involve me opening up to this person and they telling me it’s cute that I open over text, being lonely might make me get attached to them quickly.
The whole thought is if they didn’t have same feelings about me; should I be open and say I should pursue a healthy relationship or just not say anything and let it come out through my actions
Oh. Oh, no.
Remember when I said that you have been thinking about this a lot more than they probably have? This is exactly what I mean.
If you actually love this person and you think they may not feel the same way, then what do you think will happen when you drop this bomb on them?
A lot of times the need to tell someone you love them is a selfish act while unconditionally loving someone is a selfless act.
Meditate on why you need to tell them.
Hopefully they tell me they don’t feel the same or that they feel something.
Hopefully they would appreciate that they have my love
People do not appreciate having the love of people they don’t feel the same towards. It’s awkward and it feels like an obligation or expectation. It makes you overanalyze every interaction and want to pull back.
“Hey, I’ve been developing some feelings for you and was wondering if you felt the same way?” - normal, low expectation, allows rejection or acceptance without pressure
“I love you (and want a romantic relationship)” - intense and uncomfortable, high expectation, high pressure, may leave them wondering if you’ll take no for an answer
I realized that if someone was young enough and expressed their interest I’d be weirded out by that
They won’t appreciate it. This is a VERY bad idea.
