tell somebody you're falling for them.

text them everyday. sweet messages: i miss you, i like you, come see me.

hold their hand.

kiss them on the forehead. the cheek. the neck.

place your arm around their shoulder.

talk about your dreams.

make them say that they love you back. they'll say it.

leave. for an extended period of time. months, maybe.

become distant.

don't send anymore texts, unless maybe you're *****.

keep your responses vague. they will stress and worry constantly about what you mean.

if you see them in public, avoid. ignore.

tell them how you're seeing other people.

keep your meetings short. zero physical contact.

slowly, stop responding to their messages.

never tell them if you really did fall for them.
