Biggest mood ever. I'm constantly feeling like the engager in any platonic situation, that is until it goes into the nonplatonic territory. I get called bossy (man, have I learned to painstakingly tamp that down), yet called a "bottom" by friends anytime romance is thrown into the mix (really the only thing they know that makes my insides squirm like eels in jelly). And much like your article mentions, I speak in analogies and abstract concepts, doing my utmost to avoid having to take any emotional plundges in the romance department, contrasting harshly against my normally honest and open booked approach to life (... Even as a total hopeless romantic secretly binging Bronte and trashy Austen adaptions)! I like my relationship balance to be easygoing and spontaneous (obviously), except in the romance division. I 100% need and want them to take the reigns. However, once I have assurances of both theirs and my own feelings, place, and the general vibe- I'm back in the engagement seat. This is an article I wish all my failed crushes read when they thought their feelings weren't reciprocated because I hide behind the biggest conversational bushes. Big oof!
