With that one holiday around the corner and it's whole schtick for doing a sappy confession to someone...

...how do you know if you might actually like someone? Like... LIKE like.

It might not be a matter of life and death but it's important.

Wouldn't instant gratification factor in to any of that? It doesn't have to be long term if it's not meant to happen that way.

[herewardbound]

No, it doesn't. The sentiment works if you're looking for something short-term, as well. Just do whatever the hell seems like a good fit.

I'm not out here looking for a one-night stand or something.

[herewardbound]

And? You're posting this anonymously, so clearly the information I have on you is sparse at fucking best. I'm trying to go into this with a minimum of assumptions and offer you solutions for all eventualities.

Communicate your intentions and don't be an ass to whoever it is who has to deal with this. If that's too difficult for whatever reason, I think love letters are traditional.

This isn't hard.

What if it's someone you know? Asking for a friend. That friend isn't me, just wondering, though.

[And Maury determined that was a LIE, that friend IS her.]

Wouldn't that mean you'd know the person better anyway, and would therefore have a better idea of whether you're compatible or not?

And you'd have a better idea of how to communicate with them?

People worry about ruining the relationship with their friend, but anything can do that at literally any time. Life's too short to get bogged down in the hypotheticals of 'what if'.

Just talk. to. them. Make it clear there's no pressure implicit or explicit, and if they decline, oh well. If they reject you entirely for that, they were a shit friend anyway.

[mwehehe]

No I— ah... nevermind. Yeah I guess.

Do you happen to like anyone?

[LETS SEE IF WE CAN'T GET DIRT ON JERKECHI-KUN WHILE SHE'S AT IT.]

[herewardbound]

I can't say I've had much opportunity to consider the question.

But I've seen enough toxic relationships to know what obviously fucking doesn't work.
