Awesome start into the weekend. <3
@LilyBlack I'm glad to read that it can work and that it worked out. I think if it doesn't work out it can develop into a pretty bad situation. I uesd to be interested in a friend, as well. Didn't even tell her, though, because she had a boyfriend and was very into stable relationships. It took me really long to get over her. And for some time I didn't have any contact with her, which really helped. But now I can be normal friends with her, at least.
I'm just glad that Qui Tong never had a male love interest and Sun Ling would be very jealous and so on. Because then it could easily be interpreted that QT just kissed SJ, because she didn't want to lose her as a friend. With the kiss how it actually went, it leaves nothing but a sweet aftertaste.^^
Oh, sure. Like I said, I wouldn't recommend it, because there are a lot of ways it can go wrong. But if you reach a point where you can't "just be friends" with someone while ignoring your own attraction to them... well, at that point the friendship is already at risk no matter what, and it's probably better to be honest about it. ("Honest" doesn't have to mean "pushy", of course, and SJ definitely crossed the line into pushy sometimes.)
For what it's worth, SJ did at least acknowledge she overreacted about the guy at the party, and I give her some credit for that. I'd give her more credit if she apologized properly, but it's something.
Yeah, on the other hand i think Sun Jing was really mature with what she said. She aknowledged that Qui Tong might never reciprocate her feelings and still wanted to be near her. I think there is no sweeter way (bittersweet though) of confessing your love.
Honesty is very important. Because if someone is hurting and doesn't say anything, it will only get worse. If two people respect and like each other they will work it out, though. it has always worked for me so far (sometimes it took years, but it worked)
