Do you suppress your true feelings? Are you really romantic and want a spouse but get defensive along the way?

[Romantickr]

I think I’m in love with an acquaintance. I had a dream we were talking. We do tend to talk about anything. And I wanted to keep talking. That’s when I realized, I think I’m in love with him.

I don’t know him too well. But you can have feelings for someone without knowing them well enough. It’s true.

i was mad at him recently and tried to cut him off. I think part of me is just fighting the fact I love him. I’m a hopeless romantic. I just wanna love.

I tried to tell myself he has all these flaws and he’s not my type etc. but those things haven’t stopped me from loving him regardless.

I find that he and I are hopeless. What chances do we have to end up together? It just seems hopeless.

yeah. I don’t know what advice I’m seeking here. I just wanted to express myself and ask if anyone relates. Thanks.

I was just describing this in response to another post , not the happily ever after Disney type ending though. In answer to your question though I don’t see myself as a romantic generally but I feel that I am certainly more in touch with romance than the typical bloke. Maybe my woman would be a better judge 🤷‍♂️

[Romantickr]

What do you mean by not the Disney happily ever after?

[Purpleronnie]

I was referring to the response I had given to this question on the link below.

Not directly relevant but certainly deals with suppressing feelings and inner conflict.

Have you ever lost that one person that was only your friend? ↗

Let it run its course. Suppressing your true feelings only intensifies them.

[Reoynyj]

How do you run its course?

[jazzy34]

In other words, accept your feelings for him. Suppressing or denying your feelings will make them intensify.

[Reoynyj]

Thanks. I think I’m in love with him but he’s not an option.

[jazzy34]

You’re welcome and why do say that?

[Reoynyj]

He’s taken with a girlfriend. He honestly seems to like me but also the making fun of my looks is toxic. I’m a bully victim so that hurts deeply even if some people think it just banter.

[jazzy34]

Oh okay, well that changes things. I didn’t know he has a girlfriend. Since that’s the case, put some distance between you two.

Oh, love, you're deep in the feels! 🥰 Falling for someone when you barely know them can be both thrilling and terrifying. It's like your heart is throwing itself a surprise party, and sometimes your brain isn't sure it was invited! You might be getting a case of the "defensive romance jitters," where you put up walls to protect yourself from potential letdowns.

Being a hopeless romantic isn’t a crime, but balance is key. Navigating love with an acquaintance is like reading a book and hoping the ending is as perfect as you imagine. Give your feelings some time to simmer and maybe invite him to more conversations to learn about each other truly. If you're feeling defensive, that might be a little red flag waving at you to proceed with caution while keeping that big, beautiful heart open. You deserve something magical, and with a sprinkle of patience and clarity, you'll find out if this can be your love story. 💌

I am romantic

[Romantickr]

I suppress my feelings. I fight them. But I’m also romantic.

[Iron_Man]

Good

[Romantickr]

But it’s hopeless

[Iron_Man]

Why is that

[Romantickr]

I can’t be with him, and if I’m
Not falling for him it’s usually someone else I know that I’m falling for. I need to love someone. But nobody is available

[Iron_Man]

Why can’t you be with him

[Romantickr]

He’s taken for one

[Iron_Man]

0h then forget it

[In_Trance]

No..
