It's hard to know what someone else is thinking, especially when you're talking to them online. You can't see their body language or hear the tone of their voice. It's easy to get caught up in the flirting and the excitement of talking to someone new, but eventually, you're going to want more.
You're going to want to know where you stand with this person. Are they just looking for something casual, or are they interested in something more serious? It's scary to ask, because you don't want to push them away. You don't want to be the one who ruins a good thing.
But at the same time, you can't keep pretending that everything is okay. You can't keep flirting and talking and pretending that you're not hoping for something more. It's not fair to you, and it's not fair to them. You'll encounter a lot of what ifs, are you willing to take the risk and confess?
