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.


Ghosting someone is never an ethical choice and you know it, but I guess the level of “creepiness” depends on wording.
Isn’t that… The backbone of all classical literature?
My thought process was explained in full and honestly. You have a right to suspect me lying, but why would I?
