Considering texting him "I'm in love with you."

What would happen if I did that?

crazy_grl · 5th November 2009, 11:24 PM

NO! I have no idea what would happen. I don't think anyone here could. The reaction would be different from different people.

But that's not the kind of thing you text.

Dear Lord NO Spookie.

Would you be able to really move on if he rejected you after that?

If yes then it might not be such a bad idea.

You need to do it Spook and you need to do it now

Well, it depends on if he actually rejected me.

I think what's really stopping me from doing this is the fear that he wouldn't respond in any way at all.

Lame. This is the kind of thing that needs to be said in person.

Given the history I can sort of see him doing exactly that

Fear of rejection is mother of all **** ups.

Yes, I know he does not want a relationship with me at this time.

I'm also coming to the conclusion that there's no point in telling him I like him again, either. It's not going to accomplish anything, except possibly making our work lives much more awkward.

Something needs to change... but that it looks like that might have to be my job, unfortunately. Regardless of how great a fit I think this company is for me, otherwise.

It's very sad.

What if he texts back saying "who is this?"

Wow heavy artillery.

Is he trapped in bombed building so you cant wait to tell him in to the eyes instead of messaging him? (giving hima massage would be even better than telling)
By the way its not very smart to use mobile phones in close proximity to live ordnance

Spookie, this is silly. You know why? Because you deserve better!

What if he's gay.

Joking aside, you have to be realistic and the only way you could do that is to think logically about your plan of action -or rather, your future.

How long can you keep this up -2 months, 6 months, 3 years? At some point, you will explode!

You should do something to escape your misery. I suggest you:

(A) Quit. Yes, quit, then you two can romance each other.
(B) Bed him. Run into him, or fabricate a story, and end up in his bed.

Those are the only 2 options that will get you result(s).
