My gospel will always be your interest in me is your responsibility until it becomes mutual. If you show interest in me first, you need to give me a reason to become interested in you. I don't owe you the same level of enthusiasm simply because you've decided you like me.
Sticking to no contact really helps your self confidence. You realize there isn’t a single person you can’t live without. You had a life before they existed in it, and you’ll have one after they’re gone. Their importance was only informed by your attention.
One day, I’ll have my bath, go to work in the morning, then head to the airport in the evening to start a new life in another country.
But until then, a moving babe will meet her luck soonest.
I don’t have the language for this yet, but cerebrally, I know that how much I allow myself show interest in someone romantically depends a great deal on how consistently intense they’ve made it clear that they’re interested in me. Definitely not an initiator, do not care to be.
