When that person first saw you, they should have realized that you are their type, but your friend didn't notice it at all. This may not be a good thing for you. If things continue like this, both your feelings and that person's feelings will eventually be exposed to your friend. You may lose the friendship, maintain a short-lived romance, and end up with nothing left.
That person is certainly passionate and kind, but it is likely that they will have romantic feelings for the opposite sex they meet for the first time. Even if you end up dating that person, there is a high probability that you will eventually end up with the same result as your friends. Therefore, is it really a good thing to lose friendship and gain such a relationship? You should think carefully.
If you really can't forget about that person, let's first create an opportunity to meet with three people. If you spend a long time with three people, the rough parts of that person will surely become more noticeable over time. Because people have preconceptions, if you keep not meeting, these feelings will only continue to grow bigger. By making time to be with three people, observe that person from a third-party perspective and try to figure out what kind of person they really are.
