There’s this guy that I really like. I can tell he likes me. However, I’m wondering if and when I should tell him? We’re not dating, but we could be. Like I said, I can genuinely tell he likes me. 

When should I tell him? I’m worried that if I tell him too soon, I’ll scare him off. If I tell him too late, he’ll be angry with me for keeping it from me. For me in particular, I’m relatively high functioning. I can go to school, and have a customer service job with little stress. However, it’s when I’m alone that I unleash my true self. I try not to do anything too destructive when I have manic episodes. For example, the most I’ll do is sing and walk down the street in the middle of the night. But I also know that I’d be asking a lot of him because I’m bipolar. He’ll have to take care of me a lot of the time, and be extra patient.
