We’ve all been there. You’re texting someone you’re into, waiting for a response that never comes. Or maybe they keep saying they’re “super busy” but insist they want to see you… someday. Or they cancel plans last-minute with a vague, “Next week should be better.”

And yet, despite all of this, you keep holding on. You tell yourself that maybe they really are just busy. That maybe they do like you, but life keeps getting in the way. That maybe if you just wait it out, they’ll finally come around.

Some secrets are fun and exciting, like planning a surprise party or keeping a birthday present hidden until the big day.
