It's so weird.
For some reason, I couldn't imagine dating this person I fell in love with.
But I could imagine dating someone I barely had a crush on, wasn't even infatuated with or anything, but just interested in.

Perhaps because I know the person I fell in love with better and could tell that if we dated, it wouldn't actually work.
But the second person I don't know that well personally so I just made up their personality if they were with me.

Love is so complicated.
