Changes in dynamics

Regardless of the outcome, I anticipated some changes in our dynamics. If the feelings weren't reciprocated, I knew things might feel awkward for a while. I prepared myself for the possibility of limiting our interactions if necessary, especially if we weren't close friends. If we were good friends, I considered finding other friends to hang out with until my feelings subsided.

On the other hand, if my crush reciprocated my feelings, I knew we'd need to navigate the transition from friendship to something more romantic. I reminded myself to be patient and take things slow, enjoying the process of getting to know each other in this new context.
