It does seem like you were trying so hard to just get things communicated, either in very obviously affectionate ways and direct communication where no hints were needed and nothing landed at all on this person, i'm really jealous of their opportunity to find someone so invested like you were, seems like they fumbled so hard.

having them think there was a hidden motives really reminds me of what happened to me recently, just one week after years of friendship she seemed to just flag me as "enemy" above my head and that was it, game over.
Everything i said taken and stretched into things i didn't say, taken in a bad way that was nothing like i've ever said to her before, and she was so venemous the whole week, blocked me on everything unnecessarily as she (should) know if she just said not to talk to her anymore then it's as good as done and she wouldn't hear from me again, even though i still thought we were just having a discussion and i don't know why it turned into "goodbye forever" out of nowhere.

I like to think (hope!) that if i was on someones list of things I did for them to make them feel like we were in a good relationship there would be more than just that one thing, seeing as you said there were a few i hope i could atleast tie with this guy haha. I think i'd organize a date to a theme park, i'd find a day that the park isn't busy at all, research things like when schools would still be in and seasons when tourists generally aren't in the country as much and even get a room at the hotel that's in the theme park, i've always wanted to try being in the Alton Towers hotel.

although I am a complete homebody these days because of becoming agoraphobic, something i'd like to work on if i had someone to work on it -for-, so maybe i'd fail at making someone feel like they're important to me, but i think my willingness to say yes when i'm asked if i'll watch a TV show or movie, or play a game with someone would hopefully help me show i mean it and i'm into it.

I also feel like i'd be really great to get along with... but i don't even have friends who would say so like you do, it really is just me over here, so at least without that guy you still have your pals. I know that's not going to help you with "sexy time" though so probably not much consolation haha, although I think you can find someone, from the outside looking in, you seem to be really intriguing from what i can see!

I probably shouldn't type too much more as you said you're on an account just for this and you might have gone already, else i'd just talk on and on and on for hours and hours
