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
Good point, but it’s also important to learn to flirt with it. I have good friends that I do all those things (except flirt) with, and it’s entirely platonic (some I find attractive, but have no romantic intentions towards, others aren’t my type).
