The correct way is not to get the other person as the goal, not to think about how I can be with him, not to fantasize about all kinds of things together, but to get along with each other with the attitude of making friends, or even never being with each other.
Because of this, you won't ask too much of each other, and you won't put the feedback of each other's behavior in the framework of whether they like you or not, so you won't be swayed by considerations of gain and loss, and it will be more natural to express it.
Become indifferent and lose your cool. Maybe you will have such a mentality.
Because you want a result so badly, you regard love as a formula, and only a fixed solution can get the result.
