ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Secret admirer

Imagine you really like someone but you are too scared to tell them. So instead, you decide to keep your feelings a secret and show them you care in different ways without letting them know it's you. This means you are a secret admirer.

It's like sending a letter to the person you like without signing your name or giving them a gift from a "mystery" person. The idea is to surprise them with nice things to make them feel special and happy without revealing who you are.

Being a secret admirer can be fun, but it can also be a bit tricky because if the person you like finds out it was you all along, they might feel confused or uncomfortable. So, it's important to only send nice things and not let your feelings get in the way of respecting their boundaries.
