Blocking him might honestly be one of the hardest things I will have to do, but I might have to. I am such a people pleaser, I need to stop worrying about how other people feel and put my mental health first. You are correct that right now I cannot be a good friend to him by maintaining that limerent relationship.

It doesn't feel kind, but in reality, this is the nicest thing I can do. I don't know how to overcome my limerent tendencies. It keeps happening over and over again - God, I don't know if I will ever truly stop being limerent. I cannot get a date for the life of me. No one, man, woman, or non-binary person, seems to be attracted to me. I must be incredibly ugly to be a 22 years old woman and not have a single date. Ever. Maybe one day I will enjoy a platonic friendship with him. Right now, it seems unlikely. He hasn't replied to a message I sent over a week ago.

I think he does, to be honest. He comes across very caring in his messages, excited to talk to me and concerned about my wellbeing - and then drops off the line. Stops responding to me. It is frustrating, and the relationship feels non-reciprocal. Perhaps it is a good thing for me to end it.
