Got a crush on a good friend, asked them out, they gave a “maybe” sort of answer which I generally take as a “no” but they talked a lot about comphet, how they’re uncertain how much that is making their feelings unclear, and not knowing how normal it is to have little crushes on friends so I’ve kinda been waffling about whether to squash my feelings about them or wait a little.
I probably just should, shouldn’t I?
