She means the world to me, I just want her to be happy. I don't know if she'll realize they're from me.

Edit: okay, I let her know it was me

Edit to add context: I do like her more than as a friend, I know she doesn't and that's why I did it anonymously.

I don't want her to feel pressured, just cared for. We have been good friends for a long time, I think my feelings can become an obstacle for our friendship and I hate that.

I wish I didn't feel this way.

Update: we're not friends anymore

Unfortunate, but without these risks we don't progress.

Did she not like the flowers, or is the good a condition of something else?

[-] blujan@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago

It was fine, she didn't say she liked them but she said thank you

Was your goal of making her happy successful?

[-] blujan@sopuli.xyz 1 points 8 months ago

She was probably happier not knowing it was me, but then I told her because of good points other people made.

Maybe she's scared, if you two are good friends then complications like evolving feelings could be an uncomfortable thing for her, its lovely that you sent her flowers to make her happy. Did you tell her about your real feelings?
