I need some advice. I have been dating this guy, and find that I am more easily in love, than I am in "like" with him. I shared my feelings last night, and the response was not good.
I sent this to him so that he could better understand what I meant when I said I didn't like him:
The word love means feeling your heart beat faster for someone, and the word like means feeling your heart smile. My heart races when I am with you, but often forgets to smile. How can a heart not smile when it is beating for someone? For the frown on my heart is not born out of dislike, but rather from not being able to share my racing heart with the person it accelerates for.
He did not like that I don't "like" him. In all honesty, I enjoy the time when I am with him, but he is not a likeable person. He is not available, doesn't communicate well, and generally does not pay attention to me or my needs.
I know what I have to do, in fact he broke up with me last night. My question is this... everything I see is about growing from like to love. But what about the possibility of learning to like someone, after your heart began beating for them?
Has anyone else out there fallen in love with someone you didn't like?
