Chapter 4: Falling for you
April 17, 2007: I can't help how I feel
I was telling Chris today about my feelings for a person I might be interested in dating. Then I went on further to explain to him that I can't date that person, unless they are the person I am most interested in dating. Right now, it isn't. It's still Chris. Chris wants me to move on to my number 2 person and I was having a hard time explaining to him exactly how I can't just do that. I had a hard time explaining to him my feelings, so I emailed him. This would give me the chance to speak from my heart, without me being interrupted so he can read the message all at once. Below, I have put in what I wrote to him... I am eagerly awaiting a reply. Although I really don't want him to - things would sorta be easier if the said "There is 0% chance that you and I will ever get together" - It would crush me if he said that, but I would get over him a lot faster. Maybe a few weeks, instead of a few months trying to figure things out.
I am having trouble with this, and I don't quite know how to say it. Obviously I am falling for you. Whats not to fall for? You are one of the sweetest guys I know. You have the ability to make me smile when I am feeling down. You are the best friend a person could ever ask for. You are sincere, and caring. You make me want to be a better person than I am now. Yes, I feel like you are out of my league and I have high hopes in liking you.
From the getgo, you have mentioned that you are in an open relationship. You elaborated further into that, and it is something I haven't forgotten. I respect that you are in a relationship and it is because of that, that I hold back still a lot of comments I would make to you. You are right now the only person I could possibly see myself spending the rest of my life with. Although I dont know you well enough to comit to that decision - I definately do want get to know you for me to be able to. However, this is all greed. Its what I want: you. Im not saying Im trying to make you mine - im trying to say I want to be with you, or have a chance at being with you.
I would say youve given me a 95% turn down that you arent interested in me. However - you make comments, small ones, every now and then that says otherwise. I hold onto them like I would my own heart. They give me belief, and hope that I can someday have the honour of being called your boyfriend. As long as there is a chance, however small.. even if its 0.0000000000001% - I will consider you #1. I should learn to get rid of my feelings, and be happy for you - and show my affection in supporting you as a friend with what you want, instead of what I want. I can do it, but it doesnt happen overnight.
Im sorry I have these feelings for you - it would make my life a lot easier if I only felt friendship for you. I almost feel like Im placing a burden on you - and for that Im sorry tooo. I haven't fallen for you yet; the only way i can truly fall for you is to meet you in person. Something I sometimes really want to do, and sometimes I don't.
Sorry, once again.
