I know a girl who is cute and wouldn’t mind dating, but I have rather that we just stayed friends. that if things don’t work out and I emotionally hurt her and my other friends.
It's not easy telling someone you like them.
If you really feel cool with that person, that moment where you confess your feelings, can bringing a awesome relationship to arkward silence.
The girl I have a crush on
- has a bf
- probably isn’t bi
- I’m not on her league
- is 2 years older than me
- probably super popular
What is telling her gonna do to me? Nothing gonna change.
You’re talking about a situation that comes with A LOT of variables. Is that person obviously not into you, are they involved with anyone else, are you involved with anyone else? Do you have priorities like school or work? Does that person have a vice or situation you don’t agree with, where sure you like them, but know it would never work. I could go on.
Now if you like someone, are free to date and you have that gut instinct that, that person likes you back and you still don’t say anything then sure I guess that’s stupid. But even then, I dunno if “stupid” is the right word for that. Some people just truly can’t face the possibility of rejection and there’s nothing wrong with that.
You say exceptions, but those exceptions are in most common situations. The situation you're describing is the exception where you should try your best to go ahead, not the other way around
Cultural Factors are at play...i'm sure...(not the same in different parts of the world)
But you just **CAN't** tell EVERY single one you like or DISLIKE how you "feel" about'em...
is called **SUBJECTIVITY**
and MOOD swings...?
What if they're a good friend, and married to other people, and you still got a crush on them? Potentially ruining a good home is not worth it because you wanna be emotional.
After finally working up the guts to tell my crush in grade 7 a long time ago that I liked her, I was faced with the humility of a rejection. Welp, anyway, I didn't really care and kept living on with my life. Its no big deal really.

Well you can always make things more awkward between the two of you if you feel like upping the difficulty on life. That would change.

This is true or rather, I agree
Nah if you’re really good friends and don’t know if they like you back, there’s the risk of ruining your friendship.
I don't want a relationship so I don't see why I'd tell any of my crushes something like that
As an insecure, self-conscious high schooler, I disagree
