Could that happen?

In a relationship- you care so much about the other person that ultimately you decide to stay away from them in order to not hurt them ever knowingly or unknowingly in the life? You observe and watch them from a distance, always think and wish them good BUT can't really EXPRESS it/would not like to express it —

On purpose I am keeping the word LOVE out, as I think this is a cheap word and is OVER-RATED.

OK.

Weired ... But I read somewhere, if two people are in LOVE == Nice State of Mind,
they do not end up being with each other.

i.e. Romeo-Juliet. , Titanic story

Is that TRUE?

My relationship started out like that, she made the move on asking me out too. I was too shy to do anything at first...

honey i don't get it. part of being alive is being hurt at times. it's how we grow and learn to love better. so unless the "other" is in a committed relationship, or you are some psycho and want to shield another from your psychoness, why hold back?
