Honestly this is why I started just telling people when I’m crushing on them.
The worst thing that has ever happened as a result was that they were flattered but did not return the feelings. And honestly? Knowing that helped me move on and stay friends with those people.
I am very much a flirt by nature and this just takes out all the guesswork hahaha. Now, TO BE FAIR, I am a woman and very, uh, let’s just say i get called “cute” and “adorable” a lot, I don’t wanna toot my own horn too much here, but my point is that I am non-threatening. This tactic may not be taken as well coming from a man, but I think it also heavily depends on existing rapport (or lack thereof) with the person of interest.
You’d think she was just being friendly and completely miss the signal.
Probably. But I’d appreciate it when I realized 20 years later. Well first I’d facepalm a bunch, then appreciate.
