Apparently,,, alloromantics don't confess to their crushes???
Like, okay, I knew that confessing to your crush was a big deal
And back in elementary school I would never confess to my crushes because we were in elementary school and my mom made it very clear I was not allowed to date until high school and I had no idea why you would confess to a crush unless you were going to start dating
But like... 8th grade I got a crush on a girl, aka the first and only crush on a girl I've ever had, we'll call her Genevieve (you might remember me mentioning her before if you've seen a lot of my original posts) and anyways, I had the BIGGEST crush on Genevieve to the point where I questioned, and still sometimes question, if I was in love with her
Anyways, Genevieve was also like my best friend and though she's since come out as queer, at the time I first had a crush on her she identified as a strong ally but was to my dismay painfully straight
I had a crush on this chick for 7 months, I had butterflies in my stomach so bad that being in the same room as her made me anxious, we had 1st hour together and one time I literally threw up in class because I was so nervous around her
And it was around the seven month mark that I realized I literally could not take this feeling anymore and had to confess despite knowing she didn't like me back and so I confessed, got rejected, and was finally able to get over it
Genevieve and I are still good friends though, so don't worry about me feeling bad, it was just awkward for a while and besides that was a year and a half ago anyways
The same time I had a crush on Genevieve, another one of my friends, who we'll call Michelle, ALSO had a crush on Genevieve and that was a mess in and of itself but Michelle knew I had I crush on Genevieve and we were helping each other through it and shortly after all was said and done Michelle confessed to Genevieve and got rejected and we became closer because of it
But then a few weeks ago, I was talking to another friend of mine and was talking about how people rarely confessed to their crushes??? Like... It just doesn't happen that often? My crush on Genevieve was the first serious crush I've ever had and I HAD to confess otherwise I think I would've died, so if alloromantics are constantly feeling that and not confessing idk how they get over their feelings
