I am a coward for not telling you this in person, and I'm sure many of you who will read this will deserve to have this said to them too. Many of you deserve to get spoilt on Valentine's Day for all that you do and for how amazing you are, but sadly people never appreciate what they have right in front of them.

I know you are ridiculously self conscious and always feel like shit. I wish I could tell you how beautiful you are. I wish I could tell you that your weight really doesn't matter. I wish you knew how I avoid looking you in the face because your eyes absolutely kill me. I wish you knew how your sense of humour is just perfect. I wish I could tell you that hearing your voice makes my stomach flip. I wish I could tell you that you look ridiculously hot in that black dress even though you do walk like Captain Birdseye a bit in it. I wish I could tell you that I just stare at your hands because I know I'll never get to hold them. I wish you knew how gorgeous you are when you giggle like an idiot. I wish I could tell you how I know how much emotional pain you're in and how I want to just hold you. I wish you knew how long I've wanted to just lean over and kiss you. I wish you knew that even though you hate your job, you're very good at it. I wish you knew how appreciated and respected you are by many different people. I wish you knew how often I have to stop myself putting my hand on your thigh when you're driving. I wish I could give you everything you want but the reality is that I can't and you probably wouldn't want me to anyway. I wish you knew that I have wanted you since the very strange moment I first saw you. But most of all I wish you knew that you are worth much more than you think, and much more than how you're treated.

I hope so, only because it means beating the French Grin

There are many reasons flower, that is one of them but not the biggest reason.

I think it will be a close thing

Littlemissflower · 18/03/2016 23:12

Well, short of her being blissfully, happily married, I cannot think of a good enough reason not to tell her. I would love for someone to think of me in the way you do her. Even if she doesn't feel the same I bet she will be flattered.
At least I can forget any notions I had that it may be me - I am single and destined to stay that way!

SeusspiciousMinds · 18/03/2016 23:21

I think she would be mortally horrified rather than thrilled..

There is no such thing as 'destined' to be single, everything happens for a reason and someone will be your way shortly Flowers

OP posts:
Littlemissflower · 19/03/2016 06:39

That's a nice thought.
I am sure you are wrong, I really don't think anyone would be 'horrified' to know someone has feelings for them. Have you even dropped hints?

PreemptiveSalvageEngineer · 19/03/2016 07:01

Just found this fred. Wanted to say I love your name, Seuss.

But it did rather lead me to expect more tongue-twisty rhymes in the OP.

Just saying' Grin

Veryblueeyes · 19/03/2016 08:15

We don't know the situation - he could be 80 she could be 20? Grin

Anniegetyourgun · 19/03/2016 08:19

Or vice versa...

Littlemissflower · 19/03/2016 09:11

Aagh never thought of that, sure she would still be flattered?
Maybe it's him thats not available.
Have we already ascertained that OP is not a woman?

Veryblueeyes · 19/03/2016 09:13

Could be a woman with a beard - a bearded lady Grin

haveacupoftea · 19/03/2016 09:18

A one sided very public attempt at an EA. I love it.

Littlemissflower · 19/03/2016 09:19

We need more details!!!

sugar21 · 19/03/2016 10:11

J today is gonna be good

Veryblueeyes · 19/03/2016 10:18

Whatever you do don't dither or lead on, it ruins life's.

Littlemissflower · 19/03/2016 10:56

I agree with blue eyes, alos if you want to just pretend it's me, that's fine. Smile

KatnissEverdene · 19/03/2016 13:08

I wish this was aimed at me!

TwoLittleBlooms · 19/03/2016 13:32

That is lovely OP I had a little swoon. Wish someone would say/write something like that to or for me!

Anyways, I would if I was in your shoes I would tell the recipient - you may be suprised by the response you get back. If you don't say something then you may be left wondering what if for a long, long time .....

KatnissEverdene · 19/03/2016 19:19

Yes, I would say tell her. You will always wonder otherwise. I am in a similar situation, I wish I could tell my friend how I feel.....

SeusspiciousMinds · 19/03/2016 22:16

Why can't you tell him/her Katniss?

I would never lead anyone one, rather impossible at the moment as (I hope) they have no idea.

OP posts:
Littlemissflower · 19/03/2016 22:27

Seuss, are you sure they have no idea? I think if you ever pluck up the courage to tell them you will find they probably had an idea.
Wish we could all make you see that you should tell them, you could be missing out on so much.

TeaOnEverest · 19/03/2016 22:41

Awwwk, that is lovely. Why can't you tell her? You might be surprised. Women tend to know when someone likes them anyway

embroideredbee · 19/03/2016 22:59

creepy

KatnissEverdene · 20/03/2016 09:26

The situation is just too tricky, maybe something like yours.

Coffeeinsilence42 · 20/03/2016 10:10

If you are 100% sure he/she does not feel the same way then there is no point saying anything.

If you are not sure then love conquers all Smile.

If it's any help I have had a couple of men declare undying love when I was younger and have not thought any less of them, it was just nice to know that someone likes you that much Smile
