...and on the 12th day Satan created feelings
So feelings. Ever catch the feels for someone and not know what to do? With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, love is in the air. Embrace it. You can’t help who you catch feelings for.
Everything changes in a friendship when romantic feelings are brought into the picture. The outcome of admitting your feelings to someone will depend on your way your crush already feels about you in return, but the way you bring it up can have a strong impact on the way it plays out. While there's no way to guarantee that your attempt will be successful, here are some JENuine tips if you catch the feels.
- Figure out your own feelings first. It's important to first ask yourself whether your feelings are really strong enough to warrant taking things to the next level. There are many different levels and types of attraction. In some cases, your feelings may not be strong enough to warrant moving forward with them; in other situations it's better to wait a while and see. If you feel you really want to admit your feelings however, you owe it to yourself to follow through with it.
- Consider your chances. It's probably not the sort of thing you want to be thinking about realistically when you first become attracted to someone, but it is nonetheless important to consider just how likely your crush is to return your feelings..
- Make sure there are no outstanding issues in your current friendship. Even if the two of you are both attracted to one another, admitting attraction is bringing new business into your relationship, and it should be avoided for the time being if you still have current issues to attend to.
- Make sure your lives are relatively stable. Could you imagine someone admitting they have a crush on you if you were in the middle of going through a family tragedy? Even if you had feelings in return for that person, you wouldn't be able to deal with it at the time. Knowing when to strike is a key part of making the approach work.
