scenario 1: how do you profess your love to someone who has no clue that you like them
scenario 2: lets say you have good friends…and one of them likes you and actually flirts with you… but you always take it as a joke between two friends… how do you tell if he/she is serious or just messing around as friends with you?
just ask them along the lines that you don't want to read into it, but whats the dealio....use words of your own choice.
scenario 2 was the situation between begum and myself. we were pals for some time
X2 bhaisahib I understand what you're saying....I believe being direct is always the best options however some people that are in such situations are not comfortable being direct
with respect to the 1st scenario do you think there is a way for someone to be perfectly clear about their feelings without coming right out and saying them
with respect to the 2nd scenario do you think that there're ways (apart from asking them directly) you can tell what the dealio is with ur friend,..if you're confused about whether ur friend is just being playful as a friend or if he/she is trying to give you hints that they actually wanna be more than friends
well then mention you family is looking to hook you up and see how they react. :D
the challenge is that there is no right answer for this, it depends on the people
yes someone may be taken aback if you ask them directly, because that individual may not be saying anything assuming that you would be upset that he has feelings for you. and someone may be upset if you are reading too much into something.
you have to give them some opportunity somehow to indicate what the deal is. you can possibly go indirect and have a friend ask, however i have found that in such cases it is best to have a direct conversation i.e. not involving a third party, but that is just my experience.
