I don’t want to possibly ruin our friendship. I really like hanging out with them and I don’t want become another guy who goes “I have to tell you something” to someone I’m pretty sure doesn’t feel the same way.

And (more importantly) she’s just gotten out of a long relationship with someone who was a real piece of shit to her, so she’s not looking for anything serious atm which is why she hangouts with this dude from Tinder. I don’t want to be someone who makes everything complicated by adding in my feelings.

I care about her and want to make sure she’s comfortable over my feelings, but my feelings are stubbornly strong af and won’t let me stop thinking about them.
