Feelings I had for my classmate were obviously one-sided (pretty sure of it), so I made a reasonable decision to never confess to not make things awkward. In a few years since we graduated I finally moved on, although I never loved anyone this much since.

Yet all this time I had a desire to tell her about them. I would definitely want to know if someone loved me this much ever. Would she? I don’t know. I don’t even know if she is in a relationship right now or not.

I would really want to cite some scientific study that “Over 80% of girls have their self-confidence lifted after being told they were secretly admired (p<0.05)”, but can’t find one.

    You don’t love her.

    Indeed, no longer I do.

    You never saw what she was like outside of class, at home, at work, with her friends.

    Bold of you to assume that didn’t happen just because I didn’t mention this in my concise post. We were friends, sometimes hanged out together, were guests at each other birthdays.

    Telling her has nothing to do with her and everything to do with your own ego.
