Swaying Back and Forth In and Out of "Liking"

It becomes really hard when you are in that limbo phase when you don't know if the person likes you and you don't know if you like the person.

Swaying Back and Forth In and Out of "Liking"

I think we have all been through it before. That weird limbo phase when you have found a special honey that catches your eye, but you are not sure if you have caught their eye. And, I for one, have been through this for A LOT sadly. And, it shows with how weird the relationship becomes. It becomes really hard when you are in that limbo phase when you don't know if the person likes you and you don't know if you like the person. For yourself, you have to determine whether you want to go for it but you aren't sure.

This is especially true for me as I have never wanted to rush into things without confirming my feelings. When it comes to situations like these, I tend to be so fickle about my feelings. I always feel a rush of a crush in the beginning, but the later I wait, the more fickle my feelings become. In this way, I always keep swaying in and out of "liking", there are things that the person does that just makes my heart melt. but, I always waver because I see something questionable they do. I know its too unrealistic to think that someone would fit perfectly enough to not make me waver. But, I avidly do not want to start something I cannot handle or finish.

I want to know what I am getting myself into because especially if its something as significant as a relationship. And, thus, I get stuck in this weird place between liking and not liking. When the other person does something super sweet or that I feel like would fit so well, I legit cannot handle it. But, I always approach with precaution because I am not sure if I will continue to stay like this. And, I get stuck between elation and denial. It is a weird place to be absolutely level headed and then become crazy over a crush again and again.

For all you people experiencing this feeling out there, know you are not alone, and it sucks. The key is to know what you want and pursue it. Sad things is- I do not know what I want.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
