Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So I have no clue if this fits but I’m basically asking if I’m an asshole for how I treat my friend because of my feelings for her so either I’m the asshole or no one is. So I should probably get into how I treat her shouldn’t I? So for context we’re both in high school she’s a freshmen and I’m a sophomore (9th and 10th grade) but the age difference isn’t a big deal and we’ve been friends for most of the school year. And I’ve had an idle crush on her for pretty much the entire time and I got a girlfriend who then dumped me after about 3 months (I’d like to point out that I just kinda stopped liking her for the whole time I had my girlfriend) and I’ve been using her as emotional support. But the asshole (maybe) bits come in with how I interact with her. I’m a more flirtatious person and I’m quite “touchy” so when I’m with her I’ll just kinda like her and “punch” her (by that I mean I’ll put my hand in a fist and lightly touch her) and say I attacked her. It’s more of an excuse to just have physical contact but not a huge deal. The farthest I’ve gone is I went to grab her hand to hold it. I talked to her about it after the fact and she says that she’s cool with it but I feel like I should have asked before hand. And all of these things can be considered between friends at our school which is pretty close. I’m also planning at confessing tomorrow
