We avoid asking questions about labels because we are worried about coming across as clingy or desperate or controlling.
We avoid asking questions about labels because we are worried about coming across as clingy or desperate or controlling.
We let our body language do the talking for us.
Matheus Lira
We give vague compliments and monitor how much time we wait between texts.
We assume the other person knows how much we like them.
Meanwhile, we swear this other person is sending mixed signals because we cannot figure them out.
We wish they would let us know where they stand.
We dance around our feelings.
Afraid of finding out the other person does not feel the same.
We dont want to embarrass ourselves.
We dont want to scare the other person off.
We dont want to take a risk.
We wonder why our almost relationships never grow into serious relationships.
We wonder why our almosts seem interested for months at a time and then end up dating someone else.
We wonder why our relationship status never changes.
Its because we dont talk to each other.
Its because we make assumptions about what their latest text meant instead of asking for clarification.
Its because we talk to our friends about how we feel about them instead of fillingthemin on the details.
Its because we keep accusing them of sending mixed signals while they are accusing us of the same thing.
They are just as confused as we are.
If we approach our almost and have an honest conversation, maybe we wont like what we hear.
Maybe they are not ready for a relationship right now.
Maybe they dont feel the same spark as us.
Maybe they are only flirting with us to pass the time.
Maybe we have been on two completely separate pages all along.
We will never know unless we communicate.
Unless we summon the courage to have a serious, adult conversation.
Unless we push aside our fears and speak from the heart instead of pretending not to have one.
