Lol these characters are both idiots. She knows this guy is absolutely thirsting for her and has been since their middle school days, but wants to pretend they're actually good friends. That's a very lopsided power dynamic. Deep down I'm sure she enjoys that he feels that way about her. I'd say it was kind of hurtful if he wasn't so half-assedly persistent in his pursuit. Confessing every year? Why? Just open up and tell the girl how you feel. Don't check it off your yearly list of things to do. If you're going to pursue the woman pursue her. Don't be friends with her 364 days a year and then remind her on 365 you still like her. And if she seriously, seriously declines then take a goddamn hint.

This relationship is extremely toxic.

Everyone that's complaining about him not getting her first or whatever, that's not even the problem. I hope you're still at least teens, because in the adult dating world, you're not going to find many firsts out there.

Eh, this one is bad.
What's the point of chasing after someone who'll keep rejecting you and date other guys because she doesn't "want to separate from you."
You can find happiness with someone else who does want to be with you and doesn't play games like that, and you can even find happiness being single.

Don't chase after women, just focus on improving yourself and you'll eventually come across someone who loves you for who you are and won't keep putting barriers between the two of you.

Like, I understand that art does not have to be about healthy behaviors. Some of it is meant to reflect the way people really are, sometimes at their worst. Murder, violence, cheating, etc.

But the way that this story comes off makes it seem like they are putting this story out there as actually a positive and romantic story. When it is anything but. Both people are messed up and toxic and need to learn to be better about rejecting people and accepting rejection. But who can blame them when generations of people have been inundated with fictional stories like this that paint this kind of gross toxic behavior as somehow being romantic?

Instead of trash like this, wouldn't it be great to see more short stories like this that actually showcase people exhibiting healthy behavior like accepting rejection maturely, rejecting people firmly, and being a friend to someone without the hopes that you will someday wear them down until they give up and finally date you.
if you want sweet short stories you can read When I Returned to My Hometown, My Childhood Friend was Broken or The Mentor and the New Employee Who Gradually Change Each Other , i agree that the idea of confessing 10 times working just is toxic and doesnt make much sense.

if this wasn't a decade+ long story it would have been more or less acceptable but as it is... nah, this is not a healthy relationship
