there's a friend of mine that i care about a lot and have the smallest crush on but i can't help but be a certain way around them even though i want to make sure they know i can also take care of them and not just them care for me. how can i show them that in a way they will take it seriously and not treat me like a baby?

hi friend! the best way to show them is to be totally straightforward! let them
know how you feel, and create space for your crush to feel comfortable being
taken care of. you can do this by easing your way into it with conversation.
remind them that it's not permanent — but you just want the care and comfort
you feel with them to be mutual on their end too.
