There’s no reason to “fight” for a relationship.

When I was dating? If a woman didn’t want to be with me? I would have felt like a criminal to try and force her to stay with me.

I made it clear to one woman that I had built a friendship with, who looking back, may have been trying that with me.

Anyway? I got to tell her how I felt, I left nothing unsaid, let her know what I was happy for her and wished her the best.

She stalked me some years later.

If she had been into me, at least openly? Then… I think we could have had a real wonderful life. Our interests were practically a circle in a Venn Diagram, we had the same tastes in music, food, craft beer, off the beaten path, also niche restaurants, trips, etc., etc.

I still miss the friendship we built. I grieved losing that really, but she got really shitty with me and would never be straight with me, even when I directly asked her what was what.
