In the past, I was quiet often in the awkward situation in which a person admits a crush to me which I don't reciprocate. But, I've always admired the honesty that came from coming forth, and the bravery the person had to admit their feelings. While it's a little awkward at first, I still was flattered by the affections held toward me, which ultimately strengthened the relationship I had with them. I think being honest with the people you really want to keep in your life is very important, and I highly value those who will tell me what they really feel, and respond to them in kind, even if it may cause further awkwardness. I would trust them to continue being my friend as I had continued being theirs.
