If you feel for someone now, tell them.
The world could end tomorrow, so wear your heart on your sleeve.
Be a romantic.
Then again, emotions can change.
Displaying them today, and then waning tomorrow can create a mismatch in expectation.
Don’t lead people on.
They’ve been through enough.
Reserve your excitement.
Temper your impatience.
Don’t follow your every whim before your emotions have settled.
Then again, attempting to behave against your feelings can result in mismatched signals.
They love me.
They love me not.
They love me.
They love me not.
As victims of affection, we’ll pick and choose the evidence that confirms our own desires.
And as perpetrators, we often don’t know which emotion, or how much, to convey.
The first victims of our mind games are often ourselves.
