I'll try to keep this short though because there's a lot of history.

The brief of it though, is that there's a girl I've known for quite a while. We flirt back and forth, because she's cute and she thinks I'm cute. We've even sort of discussed the idea of something happening, but never really made good on it.

Recently, she's become a lot more interested, but at the same time, she's spending a lot of time in the hospital, related to a serious disease (not cancer, but has required much chemo).

Basically- I probably would be okay trying something with her, but the idea of dating someone as sick as she is makes me uncomfortable. Psychologically, it might have to do with a painful family experience I had making me very weary of hospitals.

I 100% don't want to tell her that I'm put off by how sick she is, because that's completely unfair, but I don't really know what to do.

Am I an asshole?
