Attention to all the millennials! if you have been in this situation than you will understand how it feels. Imagine you've expressed your feelings to a person. Telling them your feelings about them makes you vulnerable. At this point you are overtly interested, in a way where you can see your self being intimate with them.
Often when you express your feelings, you want to see if they feel the same way or not about you. At this point it is a high risk you are taking when you open that conversation to let them know how you feel. When you approach them to let them know, they can potentially be blunt and reject you, it can possibly even create awkwardness. If things don't go accordingly as planned, this is what could potentially happen after... in this poem as told by my best friend Carl called Circumstances.
"She showed no interest in a nigga struggling with a plan.
Now she sees I’m on the road to becoming the man
Ironically, now she needs a man.
Can't be too into you and forget about myself.
So I forgot about you, too worried bout myself.
You put me in a position to say no,
Then turn around and use that reason
to call me 'arrogant' or 'full of myself'
I worked hard all my life
And am still working way too hard
to get to my goals in life.
If you weren't there from the beginning
What makes you think I want you now?
When I wanted you
I was a he 'aint shit'
Now look
it’s a changed script.
