Nice work, Elena :). I like your matter of fact style and how it can suddenly be peppered with these strong abstract images, moving from little details of faces to larger, stranger descriptions.
And, to your question, I have always believed in telling the person how you feel as soon as possible. Keeps things easy! Then you all know where you stand and can avoid that difficulty of not knowing how to act or worrying about how you are presenting yourself. I have always felt that way, but obviously having the courage to be upfront can be easier said then done!
