how do you deal with a crush when it's *very much* not an appropriate time to just be honest about your feelings

@Efi i like someone a lot. i've mulled over my feelings for a couple weeks straight now and i'm pretty sure it's genuine attraction, not just excitement at getting to know someone. but they're coming off of some serious Life Events, so i'm afraid if i told them how i feel it'd come off like i'm trying to take advantage of their vulnerability or something. so, what do i do

@Efi ;3; wehhh

okay the other part is they seem fine and happy with their romantic situation already and i feel like i would be a buffoon to try and intrude. but 🅰️

feelings are hard

@Efi i don't think it would hurt me, i just dont wanna ... i dunno, put even more stress on this person with my silly feelings. i just want them to be okay and happy ;w;
