Oh, what a tangled web we weave

How do you know if it's better to see someone you like sooner, or to wait? As soon as you start second-guessing, that seems like game-playing, which I don't believe in. If you want to see someone, then you should try to see that person. But then again, you don't know how the other person feels about seeing you, so then you get insecure and think, why would I make myself vulnerable if that person isn't even interested in seeing me? Then your mind says, well, I'm sure that person likes to see me too. Oh, I should see that person. And back and forth. If the person doesn't like you as much as you like that person, then to have you showing up all the time would be weird or annoying or unnoticed or...etc. If the person likes you as much as you like that person, then maybe that person is really happy to see you. Now add in the fact that most people keep their emotions pretty secret, and you're completely confused. But I feel like I want to see people I like more often because (partially) I want more of a social life.
