Z, I’ve known you for a few years now, without ever really knowing you. We keep going to the same events, and meeting at the Saturday market, but not so often as to have really made good friends. I think you’re amazing and beautiful, and yet mysterious to me. Maybe I never asked the right questions. Maybe we are just fated to only be interesting acquaintances. And yet I confess; I think you are glorious and fantastic, and I always have. J. —Oh Whimsical Me

Talk about the National Socialist Party, always a good icebreaker.
Take the leap, and tell her how you feel about her.
if you have been encountering this person for years and find them glorious and fantastic, but still are not ‘good friends’ on what are you basing your feelings? if you don’t know anything about them, why do you think they are fantastic? looks? a few words? the sniff test? think about it.
That blubr reeks of just trying to be nice “you’re glorious, now go away, I don’t want what you have on offer. Some people just can’t take a hint. OP, they’re not interested. Kindhearted let down.
@ http://uh.oh/, a bit harsh maybe. This OP might be effusive but they aren’t a villain. Maybe years of being told to go away has made them second guess themselves. Let’s be honest, many people aren’t honest. Ambiguity is a confusing thing, at least the OP is saying something, and is risking breaking the unwritten rules.
this love seems to be a private message shared between two people, one of whom decided it would be a good idea to share that correspondence in a public forum. normally, effusive loves are written to someone, who then reads it, smiles (because they know it’s for them) and hopefully responds to the OP. why did this end up here? because the OP wanted to make their words public. May not be a villain but there is clearly a motive here and I doubt that motive is love. I think Uh.oh is on the right track. Rejection sucks.
Yep, Rejection sucks but life must go on.
