@SpaceCowBea or maybe the person gets creeped out and dont want to do anythin w u anymore or the person got a partner alrdy which is basically an airball
@SpaceCowBea scared of rejection and destroying the relationship between u and the person, say u've got a crush on ur friend for a very long time and u tell them one day but u got rejected, what will happen after? wont it be awkward to talk to each other again?
