I had a guy once dedicate a handful of poems to me. All of his poems were sad and depressing though as they were about unrequited love.
I don't believe in forbidden love. Too hard.
If a guy likes me, he should first try to be friendly (but not friends). Yes, I like sweet words that attend to my real charms...you know...beautiful, charming, cute, funny, intelligent hahaha just kidding. Not really. But more importantly, his feelings should be obvious to me and others. I don't care for people who are not straightforward. Yo, the guys in the ancient series tend to be pretty forthright about declaring their intentions...sometimes obnoxiously.
