OHHH MAN!! I am dumb!
I thought you wrote "what if I don't like someone".....I must have not read it or paid right attention.
Allow me to try to rectify my stupid, horrible, embarrassing mistake---if you leave the site cuz you cannot deal with this, well, Not good consequences.
I would see how the other person is handling their stuff, how long have you 2known each other, do you talk well or feel go to talk, how their life is.... Just feel out the situation, that will help you know how to respond. It may be hard or impossible on computer, (cuz of not seeing expressions, tone of voice, feelings) but it's worth a shot.
If you do talk more and get to know special things...some people fall too fast, too hard. Then, it is hard to go backwards. Besides, no one can tell you...do this!! This is best..
You don't have to give up...friends always can turn into something more.
It is best to be friends first anyhow. You can never have too many friends.
That is not to lessen your feelings, but to start on a positive note. Liking people here is what we are for. If you want the friendship to grow, take your time with things. People always say let it develop on its own. I am not sure if that is always possible. But, your gut and heart cannot steer you really wrong.
Again, I hope I did not ruin your opinions of people here. I will caution myself when I respond for awhile. Feel free to PM me if you need to rant.
I AM SORRY!!!
