I kind of feel empaths can be dangerous in a way. It's always nice to know if someone has reciprocal feelings towards you, but what's the point in knowing this, if they don't do anything about it? lol.
My last POI, I KNOW had feelings for me, confirmed by him..however, he never did anything about it. Hearing about how much he loved me from psychic after psychic made it harder for me to move on.
This is just my rationale..
