The "I like you" game

I was reading my friend Mike's blog. He wrote a few weeks ago:

"You know what sucks? Trying to establish a relationship with someone you see about once every two or three weeks... and sometimes even longer. It's like, you can't just say "Hey, I like you," because that might freak them out, and then there's always the threat of them never talking to you again... another friend lost to awkwardness. I suck at the whole 'unsubtly hinting at my feelings for someone' thing. And I'm a bumbling idiot when I get the courage to fess up. I guess I have a fear of rejection."

Poor Mike. And I totally feel your pain! I think everybody runs into this exact problem at some point in life. I keep running into it! Trying to start a non-platonic relationship is freaking tricky. I hope I'll figure it out some day before I get old. Or that somebody will step up and start something so I don't have to.

You know, a few months ago I would have said that romance is overrated. Now I'm not so sure.

I would opt for that relationships are overrated at this point....but I reckon that will change eventually.
