in any kind of relationship- friendship or romantic or otherwise, one of the few things i ask for is honesty. if you're gonna be honest with me, then i'll show you that same courtesy now: i'm pretty sure i like you. in all honesty, the "pretty sure" is a safety net in case you turn me down, in which case i can say "oh, i wasn't 100% there anyways," and then go eat a whole pint of Ben & Jerry's and cry until i'm over it. over it, and you. so yes, i like you, and i'm 100% there and 100% ready for you to break my heart. the former was a joke. but yes, i love that you're sensitive and love rom-coms and listen to smooth jazz and write ******* screenplays in your spare time and you don't think my writing is lame (in fact, you kinda love it) and you're not afraid to disagree with me and tease me and you're the perfect balance of sweet and smooth and oh god you're gonna break my heart, aren't you? we're taking it slow, and i'm warming up to the idea of you, the idea of your presence in my life and, i must say, you would be a nice decoration on my life's walls. so although you won't read this i need you to know that      
i like you.
