Hell yes I'd be into it! Wouldn't you?! It's direct, honest, and flattering AF! Expressing feelings is NOT oversharing for god's sakes. You're not saying "I love you" on the first date (which would be weird), but saying "I'd like to keep spending time with you" is what love is all about. Pacing is everything.

Eric, you don't have to play mind games or be so afraid of rejection. A little vulnerability will only make you more attractive.
