I’ve been lightly flirting with this guy I’ve been talking to for a while, and I want to be straightforward instead of playing silly games. But last night, I totally sabotaged myself. Everyone at home was asleep, and I was on the third day of my diet, having a meltdown and spreading jam on bread to eat. At that moment, he called me on a video chat, and I didn’t want to hang up, so I answered. He laughed at first, but then today in messages, he teased me saying, “So you’re secretly a kitchen sneak at night,” and it seemed like he pulled back a bit. Honestly, should I be ashamed of eating or should I have tried to make this seem mysterious instead? I’m confused.
