Well, I was more or less resigned to thinking that relationships are what other people do. I just didn't think about them, and if I did, it was more or less summed up with "eh, waste of time."
But now there's a possibility that a person I very, very much respect and like, would be up for it with me. To more or less paraphrase, neither of us wants to rush the things, since that always seems to go badly in the end, and I live pretty far away at the moment anyway. But I'll be moving closer in the not too distant future and neither of us would be opposed to the idea of something coming out of this in the end.
So I don't know, I guess the "why" is that when there's somebody worth it, it'd be, well, worth it. Or something.

Thanks but now I need to say to her I like her, butI dunno if she's got the idea or if she likes me....
Really, the only way to say it is, in the end, to say it. It's really terrifying, but that's them apples. So, either you tell her, or you give up on it and move on if you really can't. But if you think at all, in any way, that it'd be worth it to at least test the waters, then go for it. Feel brave, and do it before you'll have the chance to think about it. Either it's mutual, or it's not. If she also likes you, then that's that and you can be happy. If she cannot feel the same for you, then you'll still be certain.
So really, go for it. It might feel horrifying, and if it doesn't work out it will hurt, but it's worth the pain.
