Dear Katrine Nielsen:

“I was thinking about apologizing for my behaviour and say when my anxiety kicks in I become rude without knowing (shut ting down, ignoring people) and it’s hard for me to keep a conversation going… and then tell him I appreciate him taking time meeting me and give a yoga session” – so far, so good.

“then maybe something like but I don’t believe you didn’t read any intention into this, I think you like me as much as I like you…“- not clear enough. You mentioned that he has attention deficit, if I remember correctly. I do too and it was hard for me to follow this part. It is too complicated for me.

“Maybe mention that I think we both struggle letting people close (he talks about trauma and psychology) letting him know it’s not easy for me as well“- I think it’s a good idea, to say this.

“Maybe I’ve tried reading you for months but I tired of it (letting him know that I have been avoidant but only because I couldn’t read him“- not a good idea to add this: too complicated.

“Not quite sure how to end“- end the conversation simply. Make it all simple, beginning to end. Do not elaborate much. Let him know clearly that you like him as a potential boyfriend and you’d like to know what he feels about it, and if he would like to be your boyfriend.

Scary to be that simple and direct, isn’t it?
