THE QUESTIONS I WAS TOO AFRAID TO ANSWER
I didn’t plan to fall in love again.
Not after everything I had seen, survived, and sworn never to repeat.
But life has a way of throwing the same lesson at you until you finally learn it.
It started with a simple conversation—those late-night chats that feel harmless until you realize you’re slowly undressing your soul for someone who hasn’t even touched your skin.
One night she asked me a series of random questions.
But they weren’t really questions…
They were confessions in disguise.
And my answers?
They revealed a version of me I didn’t even know still existed.
---
1. “What’s the most dangerous thing you’ve ever done for love?”
I told her the truth:
I stayed when the relationship had already ended emotionally.
That’s more dangerous than holding a knife.
2. “Who catches feelings faster—men or women?”
Men.
We just hide it better.
3. “Which is worse: mixed signals or being ignored?”
Being ignored.
Silence cuts deeper than confusion.
4. “Can you love two people at the same time?”
Yes.
But you’ll always love one more.
And that’s where the guilt begins.
5. “Is kissing cheating?”
If you have to hide it, it’s cheating.
6. “Would you date someone your friend likes?”
No.
Loyalty is rare—once you lose it, you can’t buy it back.
7. “Do you text first or wait?”
I wait.
Not because I don’t care…
But because I’ve learned not to chase where I’m not wanted.
8. “What’s your love language?”
Consistency.
Words mean nothing if your actions don’t match.
9. “Can you forgive emotional cheating?”
No.
Emotional cheating is the rehearsal for the physical one.
10. “What’s your biggest turn-off?”
People who use manipulation as communication.
11. “One thing you can’t tolerate in a relationship?”
Disrespect.
It is the root of every breakup.
12. “Does distance kill or strengthen love?”
It reveals love.
Only the real thing survives.
13. “Should partners have each other’s passwords?”
Not mandatory.
Trust is shown by behavior, not by unlocking a phone.
14. “Pettiest reason you rejected someone?”
She said, “I don’t believe in effort.”
I walked away.
15. “Who apologizes first—men or women?”
Whoever is more mature.
16. “Can you be in love and still flirt?”
You can.
But you shouldn’t.
It’s a sign something inside you is unhealed.
17. “Do you believe in the right person, wrong time?”
Yes.
Timing ruins more relationships than cheating.
18. “Your biggest insecurity in love?”
Giving too much, too early.
19. “Morning texts or night calls?”
Night calls.
That’s when people talk from their heart, not their routine.
20. “Can you move on without closure?”
You can.
Because closure is often just someone refusing to take accountability.
21. “Something romantic you’ve never experienced?”
Someone choosing me loudly, proudly, and without hesitation.
22. “Jealousy or possessiveness—who wins?”
Jealousy hurts.
Possessiveness destroys.
23. “What gives you butterflies instantly?”
A woman who listens…
Not to reply, but to understand.
24. “Can you stay with someone who doesn’t communicate well?”
No.
Silence in relationships feels like suffocation.
25. “One thing you want but are scared to ask for?”
Reassurance.
Not because I doubt you—but because life has taught me to prepare for disappointment.
26. “Would you date someone with kids?”
Yes.
Love doesn’t stop because life happened.
27. “Does money make love easier?”
Love is free.
Relationships are not.
28. “Something people don’t understand about you?”
I’m strong, but not unbreakable.
29. “Would you take back a cheating partner?”
No.
If I fix the trust, I lose myself.
30. “What does intimacy mean to you?”
Safety.
Not touching my body—
touching my soul without hurting it.

When I finished answering her questions, she didn’t reply immediately.
She said only one thing:
“You talk like someone who loved deeply and paid for it painfully.”
Maybe she was right.
Maybe we all have a past we’re still healing from.
But in that conversation, I realized:
Some questions aren’t meant to be answered…
They’re meant to expose the parts of you that still need love.
