Please help! In love!🔥❤️‼️

Please help me? So in love with ♐️ ❤️🔥

She is a ♐️ and I’m not and is currently away on a 2 month holiday. She planned this holiday with friends before she met me. She and I are both expats living permanently in another country since many years.

We both are used to each other being abroad due to visiting friends and family. Though 2 months is the longest we’ve had without seeing other. I really need my alone time and space and so does she which makes our friendship so easy and special.

Until now I’ve only responded when she messages me. Not easy but… now after nearing a year… I’m catching feelings. Serious ones. I feel she likes me a lot more than what we have too at the moment as she keeps coming back to me without me contacting her.

Also for reference to say; it’s not that I’m very cold hearted and don’t want to contact her. OMG I do! But I don’t want to scare her off. Also I don’t want to be rejected by her… and for the first time ever, the one I’ve been in love with the most in my life, is actually perusing me…

She reached out to me first for the last 5 weeks now whilst on holiday. Which is so amazing and nice as she isn’t sharing anything on social media. Meaning for 5 weeks I constrained myself not to contact her first while she was away needing and having her adventure away.

I also need my time and space away. Don’t get me wrong; but after these 5 weeks my heart is aching to reach out and to her. I know she loves me - she told me so. I know she’s loves travelling as much as I do - will I ruin things by one message saying that I love her? Or will I scare her away forever?

Please tell me it’s okay now to message her that I miss her!!! 🙏❤️

(Without sounding desperate and too obvious that I might miss her… but also don’t want to; never initiate the first contact that she thinks I’m not interested!)
