So here is a question: How would someone know that they like someone? Not just as a friend, but as more.

I've dated before, but this... this is different than that.

I definitely want to do whatever I can to keep them happy and safe. I do smile when I see them. Never got anxious though as far I can tell.

Oh, well, it's different for everyone I guess. I get anxious because I don't...want to mess anything up when we're together.

[ That is one way of putting it. For Shigeru it's more about his phobia getting in the way more than anything else. He doesn't want that ruining whatever moments he has with Genji or Dodger. ]

It's really hard for me sometimes to...do things. So I get anxious when I think I might mess something up. I want everything to be perfect.

Recently I've started wondering about that. Like not wanting to say something stupid.

[But things can't ever be completely perfect so he's not going to go that far]

[mysophobic]

[ Shigeru knows that feel. Except for him it's just saying things that are super embarrassing all the time? ]

Getting tongue tied with someone you like is really common, I think. [ Genji apparently has it happen all the time?! And Shigeru knows it's hard for him to think of what to say too. ]

Do you...ever have the urge to kiss them? That is something else too.

[lionunchained]

I haven't had that happen yet. Haven't gotten tongue tied yet.

Once or twice I have.

[mysophobic]

[ Oh that's a wonderful thing to read. Shigeru is smiling so wide on his end of his device. ]

Only once or twice? Not every time you see them or maybe just in passing thought?

[lionunchained]

At least once or twice. I haven't exactly kept count.

[mysophobic]

[ Shigeru is smiling on his end. ]

That definitely counts towards having other feelings towards them then. And by what you said earlier together those are definitely some signs of being attracted to them.

This seems to be a consensus. I guess I need to figure out where to go now.
