That’s how I did it! I had feelings for a person but they were with someone, so I just beed friends with both of them (it did help that I liked their partner a lot!)
Then they weren’t together anymore and I was also solo, so I just gave it some time and be’d a friend in our friend group and one day told them “I’m taking you out for sushi but it’s NOT A DATE but I wanna just chill and chat one on one but it’s NOT A DATE” and they giggled and said something like “that sounds lovely”
(Edit; I should mention this was back when we smoked weed and we smoked before eating and basically said nothing the whole meal, it was the most awkward not-date I’ve ever been on)
When we got back to my car I noticed they had a sketchbook sticking out of their bag. I asked about their art. Maybe they planned that—I very much enjoy that.
We’ve been together going on 13 years.
Aww, that's sweet! Grats!
Much love back at chu! <3
