Do you worry about someone liking you only because you showed interest first?

i do. it doesn't seem like you actually like them.
take for instance my friend. he knew this girl for awhile and recently they got paired up for a group project together. he told me he didn't even think of her like that until she asked for his number and started flirting. knowing that he's also quite desperate for a girlfriend, it just seems like he's only going after her just because, not because he's genuinely interested in her.
i honestly fear this. i dont want to be with someone and theyre only with me because no one better showed interest in them, not because they picked me and wanted me from the start.

yes

no

other
