2. Realize that it isn’t the end of the world if your love isn’t reciprocated.
Who doesn’t like to hear that someone loves them? Chances are that whether it’s reciprocated or not, your partner is still going to feel flattered. And yes, if the other person doesn’t reciprocate, it’s going to suck for a while. But it isn’t the end of the world.
Yes, it hurts and will for a while, but it doesn’t mean you won’t survive it. You’ll get through it. It may not always create the most comfortable situation, but by expressing your true feelings, it opens the door for more opportunity and personal growth to happen — both for yourself and the other person.
