Don’t do it. If you are even the slightest bit unsure don’t do it!! There’s circumstances where it’s fine for me my crush was bad but me and him worked through it together and he was understanding that I was coping through seeing him different, it still crashed and burned but that was for other reasons. But even so I truly think if you can avoid it or at least give yourself time and if you say in 6 months I think we could just be friends and truly mean that you know where to find them
I’m not saying like tell her I’ll reach out one day, but you could just say “right now I need time. One day if you’re ok with it I may reach out, but as of right now I need time to figure out everything for myself” don’t overcomplicate it. Also I’m a guy and the scenario I mentioned he was a guy haha
