The person I like is passionate about solving environmental and ecological crises, how do I get closer to them? Make them feel good about me

Dear User, I hear that you have feelings for someone who is passionate about solving environmental and ecological crises. It's natural to want to get closer to someone we're interested in, and it's great that you're supportive of their cause. It seems like you want to make them feel good about you, which is also understandable. From a Buddhist perspective, it's important to approach this situation with compassion and non-attachment. It's natural to have desires and wants, but it's important to remember that we can't control other people's feelings or actions. We can only control our own thoughts and behaviors. It's also important to remember that everyone has different passions and interests, and it's okay if this person doesn't feel the same way about you. From a psychological perspective, it's important to build a genuine connection with this person. Rather than trying to impress them or make them like you, focus on getting to know them as a person. Ask them about their interests and passions, and listen actively to what they have to say. Show that you care about them as a person, not just as someone you're interested in romantically. Building a strong foundation of friendship and connection is key to any successful relationship. As for specific coaching advice, I would encourage you to focus on building a genuine connection with this person. Find common ground in your shared interests, and show that you care about them as a person. Don't focus too much on trying to impress them or make them like you. Remember that relationships take time to develop, and it's important to be patient and respectful of the other person's feelings and boundaries. Good luck!
