blight

still crushing to the extent that my body is almost shaking and i won’t even be able to see them for like another week, i feel like a little hormonal teenager and i know my posts are cringe but i don’t know what else to do

ass flex, in the abstract sense

Yeah I think you’re right. It’s just that I’ve proven to have atrocious judgement and olympic self-delusion about these things in the past.

I’m doing my utmost to not lie about myself, but when you don’t know each other that well, you don’t spill every single bean at once either. I’m just trying a little harder to break my shell and be funny. So if there’s a lie it’s one of omission.

If I could ask a mutual about their current status, and even basics like orientation, I could potentially avoid total embarrassment. But asking another person those questions is another hurdle. First I have to pick one, then I have to actually ask them, preferably in private, which presents its own, uh, logistical problems. And if they don’t know, I have to start over with another person. And every person I ask is another rumor vector.

My crush only increases in intensity every day. This pal got me doing freaking regular excercise which is how you know it’s serious. They told me they like hanging out which is amazing and all but still no proof of mutual romantic attraction.

But of course, I have crippling anxiety and worry constantly what will happen when they discover I’ve been a depressed wreck for an eternity and my life is basically empty. The longer we can chat casually as friends, the more opportunities I have to charm them, but also the longer time I have to screw up by marinating too much in anxiety. My pathetic life just feels like a ticking time bomb.

And I don’t want to just spontaneously blurt out a half-assed love declaration right now because I also don’t know them super well, which means they can’t really trust my sincerity. So I want to turn this into a math problem where we get to charm each other for the perfect X number of days but without revealing too much scar tissue, and of course without me spontaneously combusting from not knowing how they feel. Can someone help me format that equation?

Oh and did I mention they might move decently far away sometime in the undefined medium term future?
