Sucks.
That feeling of not knowing where you stand?
Sucks.
So why don’t you just talk about it so there’s no confusion?
It’s not that simple sometimes.
Steps to know where you stand with someone.
- “Hey do you like me?”
- Wait for an answer.
Simple.
Oh because the only time you would have a problem knowing where you stand with a person is if you “liked” them? Got it.
*scratches out other human scenarios because life is just simple and shit*
I learn so much from Tumblr.
LOL You all clearly have way more issues with this than I do. I could understand back in the day but we’re (for the most part) adults now. If I wanted to know where I stood with someone, I would simply initiate the conversation. If I’m still unsure after they speak, then that means the conversation needs to continue until I have clarity. I don’t understand what’s so hard about that?
You’re right. You could just talk about it (because people don’t do that) and that would solve everything because the other person is going to be 100% up front with you. All the time. Every time. Because everyone is that way? Great. Let’s just pocket your little tidbit of wisdom because that’s not people do in the first place — you know? Talk like adults.
And points to you for trying to snub folks on the “we’re adults now” & “issues” tip. I see you.
“Issues” refers to “having issues with having a conversation about where they stand.” Which clearly seems to be the case or else, there’d be no discussion correct? And an adult (not a child pretending to be an adult by lying) WOULD be upfront and honest about how they feel.
However, all that notwithstanding, the original post seemed to imply that a person is unsure of how a person feels because they haven’t asked. I’m simply saying if you are too scared to have a conversation with someone, then you’re always going to be unsure. Open up your mouth and say something.
I’m not trying to be condescending to anyone. I’m simply saying if you want to know how someone feels then don’t sit around wondering what if and coming up with all these scenarios when you could just ask. You’ll at least get more clarity than if you just do nothing.
