So I got feeling for a woman that I share a hobby with and I run into her fairly regularly, she also surprises and impresses me.

She probably knows I have feelings because I said I care about her over text (out of legitimate concern). Now I'm catching myself laughing at the things she says and I actually asked her to calm down because I was laughing at her and another person going at it while im high on an edible in the courthouse.

Like I haven't pursue a relationship. She has a boyfriend and I'm learning healthy relationships (I used to be more antisocial).

I do feel like I come off as a friend,but I feel like women know mens feelings

I watched a psychologist video on relationships seems like romantic relationships don't start with saying you have feelings, but flirting. Two people have to flirt for a while and feelings will develop.

Also I can't remember which gender but of them gets more emotional volatility when their partner expresses emotions.

I did talk to her boyfriend today did some light chatting and might have annoyed them by interrupting their screen time, and apologized.

Also roller blades with the girl I have feelings for with other people, so I am blading with her but also other people. Im telling my myself that I rollerbladed with another mans date (I don't know if they are dating), we just went at it for hours getting all hot and sweaty, she's teaching me some new things, and the boyfriend is watching from the sidelines. That girl was just a stranger and we hit it off with roller blading.
