Hello bant. Let me explain to you my situation. There is a friend of mine whom I have known for several months. I want to tell her that I have secretly been romanticaly interested in her. But our lives are going in different directions, so I don't actually want to date her. I don't know whether she feels the same way about me. Maybe she has even come to the same conclusion, that for practical reasons we should not form a couple. I really like her as a friend, and that is why I want to be open with her about my secret feelings. She is smart and cute and friendly. But I do not know how to bring this subject up to her. Sometimes I wonder if she is neurodivergent but it may just be the language and culture barrier. So anyways, my purpose for making this thread is fairly straightforward, I think: how do I confess my feelings to her in the least weird way possible? I just feel like I ought to tell her... Please be nice to me in this thread.
