And even if you were right and someone’s inclinations to you weren’t entirely platonic (as could be the case bc people are super complicated and not everyone will act on attraction), there’s still Something preventing them from coming clean. And that’s something you should probably listen to too. If it can’t happen, it just can’t
And also you deserve better than to accept that someone’s intentions w you are threaded all in between their lines, when they could be spelled out right on them instead. You’re not ungracious or unkind for taking things at face value and electing to keep your mind unencumbered!!!!
