I loved that story Tze Lin. I think that guys that have low confidence lack clear communication because they fear rejection. He threw out the hint when he should've been intentional with what he desired. I know this because I miss out on a teenage love because I put myself in the friend zone. When looking back she clearly had an attraction for me. I had a window of opportunity and I blew it. Her energy towards me just seemed too buddy like it got to the point it was awkward pursuing her beyond how I viewed myself. I could've had her if I went for it. Now she's been married to another friend in our group for 20 years that actually did go for it. He took himself out of the friend zone and got her. Not only I would've been her first (You know) If I would've pursued when I was supposed to they may not be married with three kids. He should be thanking me. If only he knew, I had her first...but I blew it. Oh well. Didn't mean to write an article in your comments 😂. Maybe I need to copy and save this story? What do you think?
