Something to note, friendship becoming romantic interest is the normal and healthy path to a romantic relationship.
If you gaslight yourself into thinking that's weird, you're selecting against the healthy path, and instead selecting for people who actually don't care about you.
It is truly baffling to me how a lot of women think that admiring someone as a friend and developing a crush on them are mutually exclusive things.
It's actually the opposite, a guy is infinitely more likely to fall in love with you if he enjoys your company as a friend.
Btw ladies, if this happens (it will), please know that the majority of guys really do just develop feelings on top of a friendship.
If he tells you, chances are he’s been burying those feelings for around 2-3 years, and he’s only telling you because he can’t hide it anymore

I think the dating crisis is essentially that men start out as perfect husband material, while girls are in their “I don’t need a man/a relationship” phase until they hit 30, by which point the men have killed off their dreams and emotions so they stop being tormented by them.
I own Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam. I can delete Steam at any time, copy the entire Cyberpunk game folder to another PC or drive, launch the executable directly, and it will play. I truly own it. PlayStation digital games cannot make the same promise.
