I was just standing near my friend, helping him with homework. She was with her friend group, we both made eye contact for a bit. I didn’t feel like it was awkward or anything, just noticing there was someone there.
She then went over to where I was and talked to someone she knew. She stayed near me for awhile, not really talking to anyone, just staring out the balcony area. I found that weird because she’s usually the type to be social with basically everyone and strike up conversations.
She went to sit alone afterwards, still near me but far away from most of her friends. I might be delusional but I felt like when she had to leave she was looking at me but trying to make it not obvious. | Crushes |
Just... this rarely happens to me. I met a man this week while travelling- a local portrait artist with an exhibition. As wanky as this sounds, his style of art really spoke to me.. he has a really elegant style, and his themes of myths and fantasy was right up my street.
We had a lovely conversation, and honestly, I felt the rare thunderbolt, and turned into a bit of an awkward fumbling mess! Didnt help that my fluency in the language is basic at best, but between us, we managed!
His eyes were piercingly light blue, with thick curly salt and pepper hair, which he kept mussing with as we talked. He was honestly SO adorable.
His art is beautiful. He is beautiful. He spoke softly and kindly and I didn't even think about the fact he was so much older than me. I felt... I dunno... a connection? We definitely clicked over the style of artwork, he was asking about my writing (I mentioned I was working on a medieval novel for fun,) and aaah. Why do I have to meet such an amazing soul in a totally different country, with no way of it going anywhere?
The only thing is he did give me his business card, and told me to keep in touch, especially if I wanted to talk about commissioning him for artwork for my novel, which I did ask him about. So ehhh.. maybe it was all business chat for him, but still..... he was so lovely! | Crushes |
I am part of a small friend group, there are about ten of us in total, and we're all around the same age. Each of us has a sibling in this friend group, and even have 2 cousins. A handful of us go to a school near here while the others are kind of scattered in schools a little further away, so we don't necessarily see each other all that often unless it's for church on Sundays. Every Friday we also do this sort of Bible group thing where we talk about all sorts of things.
About a month ago, I had a dream about a guy IN said friend group, whose sister I'm also great friends with. I don't know about you but the second I have a dream abt a guy, no matter how platonic basically fall in love w them. The dream was nothing really, I didn't like him, at the time.
About two weeks ago, on a Friday, we're all hanging out.
The second I sit down, almost opposite him, I notice how tremendously beautiful he looked, I don't know if it was the hair or whatever but oh my GOODNESS I could've melted. Since then I've kind of come to terms withe the fact that I like him. Except here's the catch.....he doesn't like me. Not like that. Plus, we almost never talk, especially over text.
Sooo... I guess my problem is, how on earth does a girl get a
guy to notice her?
I won't go as far as to say that I am the ugliest of all the girls he's ever met before, but wouldn't say I am every guys dream. Because I'm not and I accept that suppose, but I just wish I was HIS dream.
So to all you guys out there, how the hell do I get him to like me? | Crushes |
Idk if i am missing a particular someone, but i do miss something. I dont have a crush either? My hand is reaching out, hoping someone, a male ig, could take it wholeheartedly and be telling me nice things.
I texted a male friend hoping for his attention, but he responded very dryly. I'm unsure if he's involved with someone else, and honestly, it wouldn't bother me if he was. However, he's the only person I enjoy spending time with, and if he continues to be emotionally distant,who else am i going to look for now? Who else will be there to encourage me?
I feel a lot a lot of love to share, it’s free for you, but why dont you wanna receive it? | Crushes |
Disappear the way you appear
It has been a while since I wrote to you on Reddit! I am not sure how I feel about you anymore. I have not seen you in a while, but still feel your energy around me, you might disagree if I were to share this information with you....
I thought by now I would be completely over you
..... But the truth is I still have feelings for you, only you, no one else. Just this past weekend I was convinced I was over you, but I am not- I was merely busy with life's little things that I didn't have time to think of you. But, this morning when I am off and have time to think - I feel your presence on my bed- I feel your energy so strongly - it's cruel to be me.....
The intensity of my love for you; although I thought had subsided a bit, in reality, it's still intense and very well alive. Don't worry though, I am fighting off the feeling and love I feel for you since it's forbidden. I will do anything in my power to conceal my emotions and won't ever tell you how I feel about you; that's the price I must pay for falling in love with the wrong person. At times, I wake up or go to sleep and don't think, obsess, and cry over you...
...... But, most of the time, I still think about you, dream of you, and desire and long for you.
I worry about you, your health, safety, and emotional conditions. Oftentimes, I wonder if you hate me for over-caring and sharing my personal experiences with you. You appear in my life and disrupt it to the point of no return.
Please disappear the same way you appear. | Crushes |
So I’m stuck. How can you work with someone you have feelings for and they have a BF? I’m struggling today. | Crushes |
I really like this girl in school. We talk sometimes and I'm wondering if she likes me back. I mainly think this because nobody else talks to me unless they have to, and it's not like she would have any reason to talk to me because she sits on the opposite side of the room. | Crushes |
Im M(21) talking to F(18). I dont know how to exactly write these so dont mind. I know her from november 2022 , we both had a common interest in racing. so we started to talk back then. we used to send reels and posts about racing to each other. I was always a bit attracted to her but recently a week ago I came across a very flirty reel ( the reel went like mercedes girl and ferrari boy and ended with kanye west bound 2 fall in love) In short the reel was kinda cute so i decided to send her that. she replied with " I really wanna make this reel 🥺 " I took it as a good sign and continued to talk to her. over the last week we talked alot . She opened up and even sent a few videos from her camera roll related to the topics we were talking about . It seemed she opened up. She never texts first she however sends me reels but never initiates a how was your day or any thing personal. However I having been asking these questions and trying to know her better.
in short she replies with the same energy and i enjoy the conversations we have, however i feel like she is just being nice and I thought of letting go and seeing if she iniates a convo.
Please give me advice on how to approach and what do you think she is interested or not. | Crushes |
I was in the school lobby sitting on the bench reading a book and then I saw my crush and he saw me, smile at me walk toward at me and he sat next to me. I was happy and nervous, I was about to speak but suddenly He start talking to me and said that he has a crush on a girl in our class, he said her name and tells me how much he admires her and also he told me that the girl also likes him too. And I’m a fool who just smiling at him and just listen to him and yeah… ouch 🥲
It made me realize that he just see me as friend even though we have some kind of closeness to each other. He doesn’t know that I like him and I’m also scared to confess my feelings to him because I’m scared to make things awkward to him and ruined our bond so I chose to be quite and be happy for him even though it hurts.
(Don’t worry this is all in the past and I just want to share out my experience and I am okay now💗🤍) | Crushes |
I really like this girl who sits next to me in class, we talked a bit but not enough to know each other well, all I know is that we both like to read. I gave a a gift for valentines as well, which she seemed happy about. I would only say hi to her everyday but we’re about to graduate in a month that I want to step it up a bit. I want to start talking to her in the hallways since we walk the same path when class is over. I have no idea what to talk to her about, any ideas? and should I talk to her when walking in the hallways or would it be weird? | Crushes |
Hi I'm 15 male, I've always had really bad social anxiety and this got really bad with women but for a school hiking trip I was in a team with 4 guys and 2 girls. I had some really good conversations with this 1 girl and I was kind of scared I'd develop a crush just by talking to her (because I don't really talk to women much) but it happened and usually when I develop a crush on someone I always ended up distancing myself from them as much as possible, I know it's bad so I tried to ask her how she'd do on an exam we'd both done or anything I muster up enough courage to ask her about but it's a pretty rare occurence. I thought maybe talking to her online would ease up some of the anxiety and help me talk to her a bit more in school so after weeks of worrying I decided to hit that follow button! It's been 4 weeks, I thought maybe she'd deleted instagram or something but her number of accounts followed keeps going up (I know it's weird to look that but I was really paranoid that she might've just not wanted to accept the request). Should I try to talk to her more at school again or should I take this as a sign that she doesn't like me (not in 'romantic' way but just as a person) | Crushes |
Today was the last day of school and we won’t see each other until the finals and we won’t even need to interact with each other. So i’ve been thinking that this is the perfect opportunity to confess to her by text. i only wanna do it to get it out of my chest I don’t really think that she likes me back. | Crushes |
If girl use multiple periods (xyz.....) when chatting with you. Means she is intrested in chatting with you or not..? | Crushes |
okay so yesterday my crush and i were at a party, i was wearing a top with a fairly low neckline and i caught her staring at me multiple times. today she asked me to sit next to her in class. we’ve never really talked before this but i’ve always liked her. | Crushes |

So... yesterday nothing really happened we were suppose to have Mr Grierson last for study but he didn't show even though he was there! Then today.. well yesterday I got feedback from my draft I just didn't know how to see the feedback until today! Today, we had Business Studies but nothing really happened he was on one of his cold days.. he goes hot and cold on me.. one day he talks to me and looks at me, The next he don't look at me and he don't speak to me at all! Really weird but he still sighed when saying my name which is good! But he just did that.. then for biology we had a room swap to BG18 for the first time, I saw Dylan salute someone that was still in the classroom and I instantly knew who I was, Mr Grierson, he actually looked at me and kinda smiled at me like he forgot he was supposed to be cold today! Ugh! Just.. Omg he has the most beautiful gray eyes I want to see them everyday I see him!! Then I saw him after biology on duty in the year 7 quad. Also Jesse gave me an ice block thing today! He's so nice! | Crushes |
If yes, then why so | Crushes |

So... Today I had double Business studies, for the first period of Business Studies (4th period), I went inside and sat down, Renee didn't show, Mr Grierson came over to his stand up desk and said to me as he was look at his laptop "oh, your alone ranger today." Then he looked at me as I said "yeah, Renee is here, but-" then he said "Yeah, she's on a call" then I said said "Oh okay" then he said in a nice, soft tone "Thanks for the draft" and I said "It's okay" and nodded. Then Renee comes in about 20 minutes into class and sits next to me. Next period (5th period) nothing happened in the class at first.. like always he calls my name out with a sigh like first period and looks at me. I notice that he says "Thank you" after calling the role out.. it's only quietly though like only the front can hear it (Renee and my desk)..or just me.. hehe! Then he said "Helena..." as I look at him, as he was writing something "You handed in the draft so, do you want to update your Business Report or do you want to do some other work?" And I said "Some other work" he smiled then gave me the work and said "Just do the answers on the back" and I said okay "oh okay". Then near the end of the lesson Renee accidently put pen on meand I said "no..no..no" she said sorry and said it was an accident as I tried to look for the pen mark. Then Mr Grierson said "Did you draw on her?" With a worried look and Renee said "It was an accident" with an innocent voice, kinda like she felt sorry for herself voice. He really cares for me.. I think.. I'm not sure.. anyway, I also think I'm his favourite student but.. still may be Renee might be or.. even someone in one of the other years! I have not a clue! That's why I need to try harder! I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who emailed a draft to him yesterday because I'm the only one that he said thanks to in class so.. maybe I was! Plus he was the only one he said that I handed my draft in,! The other day I found out by jarred that he drives a white Mitsubishi car! I haven't seen it in person but Austin told me. Jesse wasn't there today like Friday because they are moving house. This guy keeps coming up to me as well and doing stuff like last year he came up behind me and try's to hug me but I turn before he had a chance to and he says I nearly got you girl! Then he runs away... anyway he came up to me today while walking out of school and he said "do you want to be friends?" I said "no" and he said "c'mon girl, I just want to be your friend!" Then I walked faster to get away! Lol! | Crushes |
I was at this party(about 10 ppl) a week ago and i got pretty drunk, stumbled out to a hammock and lied down. Soon a girl i meet at school often and chat on snapchat(basic conversations, dark humor jokes) daily, came over, lied down next to me and we started stargazing, she put her head on the side of my head, eventually turning her entire body sideways to my direction, and kept her hand creeping up my arm to the shoulder, i didn’t really do anything cuz i didn’t want to become a creep in her eyes, at some point it felt like she wasn’t even stargazing anymore, just breathing down my neck. Next morning i just watched sausage party with another friend while she just slept in the room(party was at her house) … Does all this mean anything? | Crushes |
Today I unofficially graduated from high school, in the last class girls hugged each other and shit and i was holding back my tears trying not to cry, a girl came to me and hugged and said i’m gonna miss you then I cried i couldn’t hold it
Other girls came to say goodbye to me and noticed that i was crying so they tried to cheer me up, when everyone left me alone i wiped my tears, she was watching me awkwardly and came to hug me and told me she’ll miss me and now I’m crying in my bed because of that
I was finally getting over her but now she gave me something to think about it’s awful
I feel like i need to confess to her now since that we won’t see each other but for the finals a month later | Crushes |

19th of March, Sunday 2023
So... Today like yesterday I was just doing my Business studies assessment, on Friday Mr Grierson was away because he had a meeting about Business Studies, today though I finished the Business studies assessment and handed in a draft (A copy that gets feedback) to him through his email at 1:53pm and at 3:46pm he replied with "Hi Helena, Thank you for the email. I will get you some feedback as soon as possible. Kind Regards, Mr Grierson" EEk!! Yay! I was like freaking out!!! He actually messaged me back! Like he messaged back quicker than Luke (my old cruh) ever did! Jeez! I'm glad! I literally squealed when I seen the message! Anyway, Then I sent back "Thank you." I originally read thanks but then decided to backspace it because it's not professional.. I'm just use to thanks because I say it to my friends! He's my favourite teacher for sure! The best teacher! He actually messaged back about my draft saying thanks like most teacher just send the feedback of the draft in a day or 2, no thank you message before hand! I swear that at any chance he get he talks to me too, like when the Jersey situation come up he asked me what I put on my Jersey and whenever something comes up that Renee says, he asks me about it.. like if Renee said her favourite animal was a dog, he'd probably ask me what's mine! I know it's wrong but.. I kinda wish he didn't have a girlfriend! Oh well, I'll eventually get a guy I like.. somehow! Hopefully he looks like Mr Grierson and is as nice as Mr Grierson!! Mr Grierson is an example of my type of guy! My dream guy would look and be like Mr Grierson.. I'm pretty sure!! | Crushes |
So its been about a month or two now and i (m36) just can't stop thinking about a crush (f26/27).
We have really similar interests with doing everything outdoors, going to gigs and can chat for ages - smile every time we pass each other.
Im finding myself thinking about them all the time - inventing situations in my head of perfect days out, cooking for them etc etc.
Yes its a work thing, yes i know theres a large age gap and please don't hate, no one knows about it and not planning to mention to anyone but in the words of Kylie, i cant get them out of my head. | Crushes |
I'm on the road of loneliness and I tried multiple times to take another road but I always get back on this one: I go to therapy, I take care of myself, I even take risks, but I'm always here.
In the span of a few months my life became a nightmare, my own personal hell: my father is going to lose his job at just two years from retirement, my dog died, my friends married and/or moved away because of their jobs, my job as a teacher is going to kill me with burocracy and students with zero manners and with parents that are even worse.
On top of that, in January, my girlfriend left me after 4 years because she wanted a stable job and a home immediately and I can't offer that right now. So she (28F) left me (25M) to find someone who can, maybe an older guy. She was my first ever relationship. When I met her at 21 I felt there was hope for me to be happy, but God, or destiny, or whatever chose otherwise.
I also developed a crush on a coworker. We became friends and I started to fall in love with her (30F). However when she saw my vulnerabilities (she shared hers so I shared mine, not an oversharing situation) she moved away: she always brought on our 5 years gap and my need to self improve more and view things under a brighter light.
Now she is always flirting with a guy that is even younger than me! And he is also a guy who I used to call friend. He could have every girl in the world, so why her! A friend of mine even told me that if I am a fish she is a monkey, and so no matter how I try I could never climb a tree. Problem is I see no fish in the ocean. This friend also told me that people could never understand my pain: they think I'm sad because I'm single or because my job is painful, but in reality what scares me is the fear of having to accept the fact that I probably (not certainly, but probably) will die alone.
I keep see my crush at work and flirting with this guy on work group chats, and I see her distancing from me everyday more. I ruined a friendship for a feeling and because my nature is this: a guy that wants to be himself, not ashamed of showing both strength and weakness, honest.
I think people are so obsessed with perfection that they don't appreciate imperfection. I don't try to be a person I am not.
My problem is that I have zero charisma. That is what people want: charisma. I am a loving person, kind, supportive and also somewhat good looking. But I have no charisma, and my genuineness repells people.
So I'm back on the road, doing everything I can to get off. I'm trying, I really do. | Crushes |

16th of March, Thursday 2023
So... Today wasn't too bad.. nothing overly exciting happened.. I saw Mr Grierson 4th period going to class because we were in a different class today for English, I didn't have him for business studies today but he was out in the area we sit when we have study periods, I of course knew again that he would be going on his rounds out there because every second Thursday jarred has him for his study period. Firstly, I went to the office with Renee to get a bandwidth because she hurt herself and then when we went back to the table and we saw Mr Grierson standing over our table marking the role for his class. He looked up as we walked down to the table and finally we got at the table and sat down. Then he went inside after marking the role and 20 minutes later he came back out again and Dylan was playing on his phone which at our school we're not allowed our phones. Mr Grierson looked at him then me with a mischievous smile as I tapped Dylan on the foot and moved my eyes to look behind him so he got the idea and to warn him about Mr Grierson. Then Mr Grierson said for him to put it away. Then Dylan said to Mr Grierson to yell at them instead (people who were being loud) then Mr Grierson said "yell, yell, yell" being sarcastic of course because he didn't even yell at Dylan! Then he goes back in and Dylan showed me stuff and we both started to watch videos that had rude rymes in them, then Mr Grierson comes out 20 minutes later and looks at us and I reach to press the cross button.. then he looked over at us with suspicion then he said "Everyone's looking sus over here" and Dylan said "nooooo sir" then I just smiled and waved to act all innocent, hehe, totally nothing sus! He was so cute and gorgeous today.. Like always! | Crushes |
im so sorry for gushing so much but there’s just so much to say T_T
basically he was painting my nails for literally HOURS, and he said “this artwork is the most precious thing in the world”
i asked him “okay and after that, what is?” AND he responded with “you” !?!?!?!??!! then he added “because you’re the one who has the art on your nails” it was still a cute moment but now idk if he just said that to make fun of me? the nails were so cute though and i accidentally messed them up :’( | Crushes |

15th of March, Wednesday 2023
So... Today nothing much happened, just had a class with Mr Grierson (Business Studies) and he said my name with a nice sigh and looked at me once again, he didn't mention anything about the social like.. for example he didn't say "did anyone have fun at the social?" Or anything like that. Anyway, I just did my work and Mr Grierson glanced at me a few times.. nothing new, then bodie, Jesse's brother, said that Jesse loves me... then I told Renee that in Business Studies which I'm pretty sure Mr Grierson heard me because he began to look stunned and looked away, haha! My mum said that I should get a Christmas present for Mr Grierson which was a great idea, I'm shocked she was even encouraging me to get one for him because she knows that I like him a lot.. you'dthink shed want me to try to stop liking him... I guess i go to school more now though because he's there and mum will do anything to get me to go to school that excited as I am! I found a keychain saying "Thank you" and pretty much " your the best reacher", I'll just have to wait till Christmas... it seems too long away though!! It'll probably fly though, I'm also making a christmas card on canva (a card/poster maker) for him! He's so damn cute and when we get an assignment or even just the school work, he explains things so much! More than other teachers! So he's my favourite teacher.. yes because he's gorgeous too! I'm trying to be his favourite student.. as you can probably tell... but Renee is also a good student.. he may pick her instead of me... they do talk more, I guess she asks him the questions though.. I don't.. I'll try to be even better.. gonna be hard but I'll try my best! Hopefully I'll be his favourite student.. just have to beat Renee! | Crushes |

14th of March, Tuesday 2023
So... Today, I saw Mr Grierson walking up to his class, I walked on the different level of concrete on the way to my class but... he didn't see me even though he was on the one on the upper part of the concrete, lol... I guess he wasn't looking out for me but still, you'd still see someone coming down from where your walking its not that much of a high level of concrete. Anyway, Then I saw his back because he turned right to the other level of concrete. Then we had Business Studies with him and he sighed and looked at me again when saying my name and then we had a sheet of paper to fill out like a test to see what we remember and he came over to our normal desk we sit at (the one Renee and I were sitting at) and he checked my sheet even though Renee was the first on his side he still came over to my side of the desk and checked my instead, he touched my paper with his 2 fingers and turned to himself to read it! Mine not Renee's.. mine! Then he asked who got the answers with a big smile on his face, because we were helping each other.. we just shrugged... Renee cheating by looking at the answers from the other test so we couldn't tell him that.. Imagine! "Oh yeah sir, we just cheated and looked at answer, we aren't going to remember them, we are just here to stare at you!" LOL imagine that conversation... I don't think my parents would be very happy lol! Anyway.. Then he just turned my sheet back to me and walked away with a smile on his face! Then he asked "who's going to the social?" And some people said "yeah, me" I didn't because I'm too shy for that! I wonder if he's going.. that's the main reason that I got the tickets.. with my luck he probably won't be.. only a couple teachers go anyway! Hopefully he goes but maybe not because he asked who is going.. he could just see them which by the way the social is tonight! So I'll update this post after I go to tell you how it went! If he does go I'll probably be looking at him all night plus he would get to see me out of uniform for the first time!
UPDATE!!:
So... I just got home from the social! The best night ever! I was spinning and dancing with Matt! The guy, Jesse (the guy that apparently likes me), bought me a lemonade can drink! He's pretty nice, he has a twin brother and they are identical so I dont know which is which sometimes! Anyway, OMG! an hour into the social.. guess who I saw??? Yea you guessed it! Mr Grierson!! I couldn't believe it! Jarred told me when I got to the social that he saw Mr Grierson walking his dog and said he'd be there within the hour! He was in a rainbow top and bottom (tie-dye)!! He was so hot! Once he saw me he kept looking over in my direction every now and again... I can't believe he recognised me because it was colourful lights and pretty dark! Mr Grierson went on the opposite side of the hall for about 30 minutes.. he didn't go to my side of the hall but for most of the social he stood up the back while all the students were talking to him every now and again, he stayed for the whole night! I couldn't believe it! He didn't say a word to me which was a shame but I kept glancing over at him and I'm sure he kept glancing over at me too. He did the macarena (A community dance) and I joined in but he was at the front while I was at the back. About 90 something people turned up which was huge for our school, normally we have lower than that! I can't believe Mr Grierson was there!! He was just so gorgeous tonight!! The only real interaction I had with him tonight was when I got a balloon when the social was over and Matt hit it out of my hands and it rolled under the table Mr Grierson and this other person was carrying I was at the back of him as he was carrying it waiting for matt to get the balloons and Mr Grierson turned around while carrying the table and smiled at me as I smiled back! But it was still good to see him there! | Crushes |
I am interested in a guy, but I am uncertain about his sexual orientation and I am wondering how I can confess my romantic feelings to him. We knew each other when I held a position of authority in school (not a professor or staff member), and we are both male college students. He is a sophomore, and I am a year or two older. I recently came out as gay, which he is aware of because I mentioned it casually. We communicate through social media, but he has been responding sporadically and mentioned that he is busy due to exams in our college. | Crushes |
I’ve (19F) never experienced being interested in several people at a time since I’m typically the person to commit to one person even if one-sided. Maybe it’s because I’m putting myself out there? I have more options I guess. But it also feels shallow :/
Not really who should I pick but who is generally the better choice in your eyes? Or, none? Honestly I have things to work on myself but I feel like I’ve made great progress on self improvement.
Person A (23M): Known him for 2 years as we played music together. First guy upon entering uni that I felt comfortable expressing my raw self to. He’s very smart, stacked resume, musically inclined, speaks several languages, kind/friendly to men and women. He’s very kind to me and I feel some type of comfort with him. I feel being musically involved with another person for a while is bound to have romantic feelings rise. Not afraid to express himself and his feelings. Introvert but with great social skills. He’s graduating in like a week and I’ll never see him again though lol. We are both hardcore but normal weebs. Have a feeling he just sees me as a younger sister. About 2-3 cm taller.
Person B (19-20M): In my major (engineering but won’t specify), he’s around my age so I’ll see him a lot. We go to this “cram school” type thing and happen to be in the same one. We only talk there and work together on the assigned stuff and our other classes in our major. I’m drawn to him because he’s lowkey handsome and he’s really smart as he scores slightly higher than me. He seems shy and introverted though. When we work together I feel like there’s some sort of comfort that we are on the same wavelength. Seems like he just does his own thing and focuses on school which I like. Mutuals with some of my other friends I think. Tall and deep friendly voice probably 5 ft 10, I am 5 ft 6.
Person C (24M): Not in my major but adjacent to my major. I don’t actually like this guy but we have been friends for about 3-4 months. He told me he likes me but retracted his statement. Has a good job right now, lowkey rich. I’m not afraid of being myself around him. I usually have a hard time keeping eye contact but he’s easy to face. Works out regularly, extroverted and enjoys going out to socialize. He’s sentimental and kind of goofy which is something I like. He likes anime stuff but not the same level as me (bc i want to geek out together). He’s gone out of his way to do things for me but he’s done that for his friends. He’s just been acting a little flirty lately. He’s 5 foot 9(?). Has a younger sister. Not afraid to ask me deep questions. | Crushes |
For reference I/Me (M24) crushing on (F25)
So there’s this girl that works at my gym and it’s fair to say I’m crushing hard. I’ve only had 2 conversations with her, but because it’s not in an ideal setting and I have a new schedule I have not seen her since those 2 convos. It’s been a good week and a bit now. And I foolishly did not ask for her number lol. (Guess that would have been the best way to tell)
When we did speak though (I initiated on both occasions) it was more so me popping in after my workout to say a quick hello, but it ended up being us finding out a bit about each other. Like what we do for work, what we do outside it, hobbies etc. She’s very shy, and she’s made that known. I’m the same so it took me a while to compose myself and pluck up the courage to go talk to her but when I did it was the most relaxing thing. It’s funny how the ability to speak is so much harder when you like someone lol.
I noticed that she started to give a lot of compliments, I reciprocated obviously but she ended up asking a lot more about me and saying nice things about my lifestyle/the stuff I’ve done. I was almost kinda shocked.
Again because of the setting I couldn’t take up too much of her time, but after our 2nd convo she did ask one interesting question. She asked if I was an emotional person? Or like do I show emotion?
Tbh I thought it was a weird question since it was so early on and I felt like that opens up a deeper conversation but do you think that also could be a sign she’s interested? I kinda dodged the question and was saved by the bell as she had to go help someone but I realised she was a bit persistent with this one and kept asking/rephrasing it a few times to try get an answer out of me.
I regret not being honest and answering but that’s only because I wasn’t sure why she asked which is what I should have said.
Obviously it’s only 2 conversations so there’s not much to go by but I wanted to know what you guys think. Could she actually be interested in me or is it just her being nice and doing her job essentially?
I don’t know when I’ll next see her although I could today since it’s a bank holiday but if I do I was thinking of just asking for her number (my friends think I should wait for her to. That’s if she’s interested but I kinda don’t wanna waste anytime) and this will obviously stop limiting the convo to where she works which is what I want tbh, felt so bad talking for so long but she didn’t show any sign that I should go unless she had to go help someone. That and I just really like talking to her, she’s cool.
Sorry this is long and I’m rambling but many thanks in advance. | Crushes |
First of all she is not my crush but i like to talk to her be a friend of her , i already followed her in instagram ( it was me who sent the request ) and her fb account just popped up in my feed and i sent her a friend request and its been 3 days and she hasn't accepted and i see her online in instagram , what do you guys think what should i do to avoid ruining things ? | Crushes |
I had a crush in 6th Grade. I kinda acted on it, but we just ended up being friends. We were separated after 6th Grade, we went to different Middle Schools, then High Schools, now different universities. We occasionally chat via Instagram DMs, like once or twice a year, and my crush on her faded away... Or so I thought.
On Instagram, she posted a picture of her and another guy in a car, taking a selfie, smiling, she had coffee in her hand. Yeah, unless this is something casual friend do, it's most definitely her boyfriend. And again, my feelings for has faded away. She's not my crush and I've met another girl I liked more than her, but for some reason, I just feel so heartbroken. It's so weird. I've never thought of pursuing a relationship with her when she was single, and hypothetically, let's say she was single at this moment. I'm not going to go over to her and ask her out and start a relationship. Even if, again hypothetically, she and her boyfriend broke up or, the extremely unlikely event of me misinterpreting that selfie and that they're not actually a couple happens, I'm still not going to go over to her and ask her out, but now, I feel like that's changing. Now, I have this urge to ask her out the moment her becoming available becomes a possibility. But do I love her? I don't know!
So, in short, a girl from a decade ago who I no longer have feelings for now has a boyfriend. Why am I heartbroken? Why do I want her now? Why are my old feelings from 10 years ago slowly resurfacing? We were never even a couple. I liked her, I told her, we became friends, my crush disappeared but we were still being friendly, I even showed a picture of my new crush and she just teased me and we laughed it off. Now she has a boyfriend and I'm heartbroken??? | Crushes |
He told mutual friends that he liked me, and he asked them not to tell me, but they did. When he found out that I knew, he cut off all contact with me. Two months later, he and his girlfriend broke up. I have to admit that before he was single, I'd look at his TikToks a lot. I never liked or commented on it; I'd just watch the videos. When he and his girlfriend broke up, I noticed that my TikToks would go up. I had 3 followers, but whenever I'd watch his videos, my TikTok views would rise. This continued for the better part of a year.
However, twice he did things that tickled me funny. About six months after they broke up, he started following her on TikTok, but unfollowed her within a few hours (probably because she didn’t follow him back). I know it doesn't sound like a big deal, but I'm 95% sure he was watching my TikToks. When our friends told people he liked me, it was clear he didn't want me to find out. But when they broke up and started entertaining me again, he started following her on TikTok. It makes me feel like he wanted to get back with her, and that if she agreed, he would've hung me out to dry again. I don't have any solid evidence for this, but it scares me that he would've done that. Keep in mind, they were already Instagram friends.
Edit: several months later, he made a playlist about me. I'm 95% sure it's about me because it has 22 songs and was made 22 days before my 22nd birthday. These songs are all in English and the first song is "I love you" and the last song is called "Bay Area" (I'm from San Francisco) | Crushes |
I don’t know if this is a good thing or bad. I’ve had this hallway crush for a while now but it was just a like “oh man she’s cute, but I have no chance lmao” thing. Lately our school had a musical type thing and she was in it, singing and dancing. She was absolutely stunning in it. The thing I didn’t even know her name, I would just see her and be in awe. I had to ask my sister (who worked backstage for the play) for a cast list just so I can know her name. Even her name fits so well with her, it’s beautiful. I found her Instagram and she’s even more gorgeous in the pics.
I haven’t felt like this in so long. I haven’t felt like genuine attraction to someone. Like I’ve seen girls who are hot and I’m like “oh they’re smoking hot, way out of my league” but this is different. Those thoughts are lust, but this isn’t. It’s been so long since I’ve got “butterflies” for a girl.
I just cant stop thinking about her. I have no idea what to do. Haven’t been in a relationship in over 3 years so I’m scared. Had to vent out my thoughts cause it’s 1:40am and I can’t stop imagining things. (Not creepy things, just like walking in the park and seeing her smile).
Is it rude and creepy for me to think like this? I don’t wanna be creepy, I just genuinely think she’s amazing and want to be with… her. Any advice on what the hell i should do cause I don’t wanna just keep thinking like this, I wanna do something. | Crushes |
We were drinking and my crush asked my type saying “let me guess, you don’t have a type? 😉” My drunk ass doesn’t think and just blurts out the race I’m subconsciously attracted to, without batting an eye she immediately responds saying she wishes she was that race.
Did I F up? Her physical features are very similar but I feel like she may think I’m not attracted to her now… | Crushes |
I was at a party and a friend was there, last time I saw him was earlier this year and he has sent me messages since then before the party.
Anyway, when I walk in he is there, and says hi and winks at me. Not the only time he does that. Long story short, we were around each other the whole night (we had to move around to meet new people, but we ended up being around each other the whole time). He also asked if I had a boyfriend when I was texting my guy bsf, and then we got talking about relationships and how he doesn’t wanna date until after high school.
He also said he should come round to my house to see the family sometime (we are very old friends, once I moved we lost contact but we got reconnected this year).
Thoughts? | Crushes |
Hi, I need some advice :'(.
If your crush said that he still loving his ex, will you date with him ? I really really fall in love with him, our relationship is almost love and I regard it, but his talk makes me confused with our relationship :'(((( | Crushes |
I was pretty good friends with this guy in 9th grade, and looking back it was kinda obvious we liked each other mutually but were both too shy to do anything about it. I moved schools, so nothing ended up happening, though we still saw each other occasionally these past few years (we both do debate).
We’re both high school seniors, and the debate season has ended, and he’s going to college halfway across the country, so it’s unlikely we’ll see other again. We text very, very occasionally— should I even try to text him more to idk, hope that smth comes of it? Or should I just not text him and let things go?
I’m pretty introverted and don’t develop feelings for people very often, and once I do, it takes a while for me to move on — any advice about what I should would be really appreciated | Crushes |
I usally ruin my chances with this so if anyone can help me for my next "real" crush then please do. I want to know before I say anything to him and his friends. | Crushes |
So I’ve had this very close friend since August 2022, and in nov 2022 we liked each other but stopped because he wasn’t ready for a relationship. Mind you he lives in a different state. We got wayy closer these last few months and I think I’m starting to like him. He keeps flirting with me and saying rly nice things like compliments. We’re planning to move closer to each other/ move to a different country for college but that’s kinda far in the future. What should I do? | Crushes |
i liked this dude for 3 yrs and bro just wont get outta my head like he's gorgeous and hella cute but I barely know him were just in the same grade and school. ive tried to stop liking him and denying it and even went into my first relationship that lasted for a week and I still thought about him that week. ive only had 3 normal interactions with the dude too ughh also he would view me as a weird person I'm pretty sure our friend groups r very different | Crushes |
As title says i decided to go read old messages i had with my crush
I was trying to remember what the nickname he used to call me was. Ever since i started transitioning he's been having difficulty using my new name so i wanted to see if the old one would work
But now I'm just laying here, my heart feeling like it's on fire, beating a thousand times a minute, simply because i happen to fall on messages of him just wishing me a good night and calling me by a stupid nickname making fun of how short i am
God i wish i had to guts to ask him to just call me that again | Crushes |
okay so for context i (19F) know my crush (20M) since school (we both graduated in 2020)
this is a long one!
idk if he liked me on that time, we were kind off friend but not that close (i did a post a while ago and ppl told me he did but idk)
anyways he was really touchy, we had a lot in common and sometimes he "knew" stuff that i didn't tell him like:
1. he knew i took italian classes and i told him how did he know and he said he saw it on my friends story or something
2. idk why he asked me if i had a house on a beach (won't say the name, but i had gone there with my friend on that new years idk how he knew) i told him that i didn't had a house there, he got linda nervous and said that maybe someone told him or he dreamed about it or something
he also one time asked me who i was going to prom with (the year before i had gone to homecoming with his friend so i assumed he was asking for him but idk)
sometimes when saying goodbye he used to say "bye beautiful -my name-"
we had a lot of eye contact, sometimes he sat beside me really close like hip to hip when he could and on the last day of school he told me to stand beside him for the class photo.
that's kind off all i remember from school lol
another context: he once hooked up with a friend 2019, also took another friend on a date 2019 and i think he hooked up with another friend on february 2023 lmao
another context: kind off his whole friend group from school has tried to shoot their shot with me or something lol (nicknames: APPLE has liked me since school, PEAR took me to homecoming cause i was his crush and MANGO tried recently to make out with me at a party)
last years i saw my crush at 2 parties (in both he kissed a random girl) on the second one i ended up talking all the party to a random guy from his university cause he wanted to make out with me or something (he had been texting me for a few weeks but i was leaving him on seen) and i noticed my crush looking at us a lot.
the same happened a couple weeks ago (where i saw him for the first time since last year) MANGO talked to me all the time at the party and this time my crush was kind off standing next to use while we were talking, not saying a thing for 20 seconds just listening and leaving (happened a lot)
then last week there was another party, and there were a lot of people we didn't from another uni, so i just ended up talking the whole party mostly to my friends from school: a friend (nickname: PEACH) my crush and APPLE (the one who likes me since 2019, not MANGO)
i sat with my friends on some chair, my crush sat next to me and MANGO in front to talk to us, we just talked about celebrities, music and stuff.
context: the birthday girl wanted to drag my crush to the dancefloor all the time bc she has a friend who has a crush on him but he didn't want to and kept talking to us.
my crush knows APPLE has liked me for a long time and my friend told me that when i talked to APPLE alone for a bit, my crush told her to leave us alone lol
i started talking to some other friends and my crush started talking with PEACH (she later told me they were talking about the girl that the birthday girl was saying lol and i think he likes her or something but they didn't talk at the party so idk)
then my crush told me to take a vodka shot with me and put his hands on my shoulder/neck area to lead me to the drinks table. (now that i know about that girl, i've been thinking what if he did this to get her jealous? but idk)
i was really sleepy, i said goodbye to my crush and APPLE bc they were leaving and my crush said something like "bye pretty -my name-"
i asked them to walked me home. at the door we started talking about music (we like frank ocean) and they told me i have the music taste of someone who smokes weed? lol
so they asked to smoke weed with them, i said yes and told them to got to my park but they told me they didn't had it with them at the time.
so the three of us took a taxi to my crush's house to get his weed and back to my house (it was a 40min ride and he payed for it)
we arrived and i invited them inside to go the the bathroom and to eat some cake i made
then we went to the park infront of my house and talked for a while but i think i mostly talked to my crush bc APPLE was kinda quiet, my crush remembered stuff from school and asked me questions like dogs or cats lol we also recommended each other tv shows and animes
we talked about tlou2 a lot bc we both love that game and every time i was explaining something he looked at me really concentrated on what i was saying and smiling so was literally melting
then i couldn't find my house keys so they both helped me get into my house, my mum opened the door and they left
it's been a week and no they haven't even texted me or anything (we actually don't text at all, he just follows my finsta but he doesn't like my stories like APPLE)
idk what to do bc my crush is really experienced, has history with some friends, is in another uni so i don't see him much just on parties, i think he is interested in that girl at the party (who he didn't talk to but whatever)
pls can u guys give me some advice
what should i do
i don't think i could ever get over him, like he is always going to be my crush, i really like him
idk how he sees me and if he has ever seen me as mire than just a friend, i think he is actually really touchy or flirty with everyone so i'm really confused
do u think he probably had a crush on me at one point?
i have a feeling he thinks i have a lil crush on him but idk, should i try flirting with him the next time i see him?
what should i do help pls | Crushes |
Hi everyone!
For context, I 18F recently confessed to my crush who reciprocated my feelings and one of my fears is that I’m not good at expressing myself. I want to be better at communicating and stop feeling like i’m
holding back. I’m literally known in all my friend groups as the “chill” or “cool, calm, and collected one”, but I’ve always wanted to be the energetic, positive type. Idk if that’s too big of a change too soon, but I don’t want to feel like i’m falling back into old habits of burying everything inside and being a robot. | Crushes |
I was about to ask her to prom (over text, which is what we’d both prefer), I promised myself I’d do it tonight I had my finger hovering over the send button and then I didn’t do it fuck fuck fuck. I’ve gotten really mixed signals and I have no clue what to think. | Crushes |
So today was the last time I'm seeing my friend because we graduate this weekend (we go to different universities), and I gave him my letter containing my confession. It included a congrats card for graduation and the performance today.
Although I'm not expecting anything since we both live in different states, I still feel a little anxious to see what he says | Crushes |
For a long time, what’s stopped me from going out with someone was the thought that my depression would just burden and ruin the relationship. And now that I’m doing it again, I have to ask the same question. Any ideas? | Crushes |
Hi everyone, this is gonna sound hella dumb but hear me out.
I (23F) haven't really had a crush on anyone since high school, and I eventually just started thinking that crushes were only a childhood experience, or maybe something you only experience in adulthood if you haven't already been in love and broken up or something. But, several of my female friends have had crushes, although they may not always explicitly call them that. This led me down a few long tunnels of thought, including at one point wondering if I was aromantic.
However, I have been quite certain for a while that I am attracted to men. But, despite going on some wonderful dates and forming close friendships with several guys, I've never once (since high school) found myself interested or attracted enough in a person to feel that "spark" or that sort of all-consuming daydreaming that happens with a crush. I know this can be the case for many people that venture into the dating world, but I haven't even really felt connected to someone enough to put the effort into pursuing a romantic relationship with them.
This brings me to a few days ago when I met up with a close friend I had not seen in years. She offhandedly mentions that she's sort of been shipping me with one of her other guy friends, someone I've heard her mention very briefly and vaguely a few times. She knows him because their families are good friends. But she never talked about him enough to actually disclose anything specific nor how she thinks we would be compatible. But, for some reason she mentions it now and gets very excited. A few minutes before, I had been telling her how I had not had a crush in a while and stuff like that, so maybe that's what prompted all of this? But anyways, she shows me this video she has of him, and for the first time I actually feel my heart 'drop'. He is very attractive, but I mean that's really all I got from the video. I tried to see if she follows him on social media and I could not find anything anywhere.
Anyways, I'm a little confused because I can have really deep and compelling conversations with guys on dates and not feel a single thing, but one photo of this guy and I suddenly haven't able to stop thinking about him for about two days? What is going on? Am I just superficial?
TLDR: Haven't had a crush/major attraction to a guy in years despite some wonderful dates but suddenly find myself constantly thinking about a person I saw a video of two days ago whom I know nothing about, and am concerned I might just be a vapid person. | Crushes |
Heyy, so I just need some opinions on the situation I'm currently in.
The sitch is, back in late Feb I developed a crush on this guy who works at our uni's gym and I would find ways to go up to him and just make small talk, mainly about gym stuff and these convos weren't too frequent to the extent where he would be able to tell how much I was crushing on him. While all of this was happening I used my 'research' skills to find out a few things about him like; his name, age, and what he was majoring in.
As the end of the semester approached, I felt disappointed that I hadn't made much progress with him and that he still didn't know my name. So a few days before I was scheduled to move out of my residence, i decided to hit the gym near closing time, I was struggling with my form on one of the machines so I decided to ask someone to check my form, to my luck he was the only one that looked available to do so and so I asked him and he helped me and was really nice about it as well. He even held his hand on my forearm while I was practising what he showed me to make sure I was doing it right \*when I tell you I DIED when he did that 😫\* he then left me to get on with the rest of my sets. Once i was done i thought it would be the perfect opportunity to go up to him and ask him ''what his name was'' (like i didn't already know) and so i did and he got my name asw (BIG WIN IMO) and then he told me that he was working a few days later (which happened to be on the morning of the day i was moving back home for the summer) and that if I wanted to drop in he'd be there. We then said bye and i headed back to my place.
The day eventually comes around, and I make my way to the gym, determined to leave with at least a request to follow me on ig. When I walked in he was the first person I saw and he started with ''hey, its \[my name\], right?'' I replied and he then told me to enjoy my workout. As i was working out i saw him go around the gym doing his job and then as i was heading out i went up to him at the staff's desk and with the plan to make small talk but as i got to where he was, i completely froze up, mind blank and all. Just standing there, chin resting on my water bottle looking at him - when I think about it now I can't even get mad at myself just because it's absolutely hilarious to think about- after what seemed like a minute of blank staring he asked me what was up, without thinking about my response I replied with a ''oh nothing... just trying to make conversation'' - what an absolute dunce I was in that moment 🤦♂️- somehow I managed to steer the convo in a better direction and asked him about his major and we went on to talk about Uni and my plans for res next year (he even gave me some tips on how to get into the res I've been eyeing for a while) I then told him that I was heading back home for the summer and if he didn't mind giving me his ig for if I had any gym-related q's over the summer and he typed his username and I pressed the request button then we said goodbye and I headed out.
So I waited a day thinking he was busy and he hadn't found time to accept the request. The day turned into 4 days and then into a week and now it's been exactly 2 weeks. I know that he has been active on ig since then cos I've noticed that his pfp's changed since I requested to follow him and now. What I really don't understand I why he hasn't accepted my request; if he wasn't interested in forming any sort of relationship (friendship included) then he could've easily just said he doesn't use ig or he doesn't feel comfortable handing my Instagram out. It's important to add that he doesn't seem like he's one to only add his close friends on Instagram; he has over 1.3K followers.
So I guess what I'm looking for is any opinions or insight you guys might have as to why he hasn't accepted my request or maybe if you can spot something from my experiences with him that might have thrown him off. I don't know how to continue from this point I'm scared that if I send him a dm he'll think I'm clingy or perhaps leave that on delivered as well! I would also appreciate it if someone could help me and give me ideas on how to progress past this point.
Thanksss :) | Crushes |
she’s been flirting with me quite a bit lately (at least i think so anyways LMFAO maybe i’m delusional) but today she said that i’m the best IM GOING TO CRY. | Crushes |
I was at this party(about 10 ppl) a week ago and i got pretty drunk, stumbled out to a hammock. Soon a girl i meet often but don’t talk to too often came over, lied down next to me and we started stargazing, she put her head on the side of my head, and kept her hand creeping up my shoulder, i didn’t really do anything cuz i didn’t want to become a creep in her eyes, at some point it felt like she wasn’t even stargazing anymore, just breathing on my neck. Does all this mean anything? | Crushes |
Okay, I just need advice on how long to wait before making a move. I am a firm believer in making your move at the right time. I've had friends tell me to make a move ASAP a lot in the past and it never works.
"just ask her out!" okay, but it doesn't work like 100% of the time for me. It's always incredibly jarring. In my opinion, getting close with someone to the point of asking them out takes time.
I see my current crush sporadically when she comes in to my work, normally on a Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. We always chat for a good 20-25 minutes. We first met back in January and the past month has developed into talking for longer than before. I can't figure out if she does like me or not, especially as she is older than me by a fair margin. I don't think there's really even any mild flirting but she always seems happy to see me and to chat for a while.
I'm just not sure what the next step is, though I'm contemplating asking for her number/social media. Any advice? | Crushes |
If while at work, you and your crush have a lot of downtime before they leave and they are really bored but don’t talk to you and are chilling on their phone for the most part, does that mean they definitely aren’t into you?
We’re both girls btw.
We just started working together last week and have really clicked so far.
I have no idea what her sexuality is and no idea how to figure out if she’s dating anyone or what it is. She also doesn’t know mine.
She would do this, come up to sit at the bar where I was just killing time also, sit down saying she was bored, and make little small talk, then get up again shortly after that and go back to the server stand and chill on her phone, then back to the bar again, just pretty much really wanting to GTFO and go home.
But when we talk otherwise she asks me questions, seems genuinely happy to talk to me, and we get along really well. | Crushes |
this is pretty dumb to vent over but basically i thought this guy was kinda cute and i requested him on ig and he never accepted and i know he's been on Instagram since i requested him. his friends are pretty weird and make fun of basically everyone and i just know im getting made fun of rn and yeah. i don't really care enough but i kind just feel hurt i guess i mean i didn't have high hopes but i was kinda hoping at least an accept not even a follow back. | Crushes |
So I(F21) have been having a crush on one of my friends(M23) for a while now. We are currently 2nd year university students and next year will be our last year together. I have known him for about over a year now through school and we have been texting from time to time. Initially, when we began our friendship, my other friend told me that they felt like he liked me but I just brushed it off to not make things awkward. They also told me that he seems to text me alot more than them because he barely responds to them but he does with me even though it takes a while. I am extremely shy, timid and introverted and I do want to let him know I like him, but having been rejected before by another guy made me lost my courage into confessing to anyone ever again. I’ve been trying to drop few hints here and there by initiating physical touch, teasing, etc. and I can barely maintain eye contact with him but I have no clue if he noticed any of them or maybe my hints aren’t straightforward enough. Since next year will be our last year together, I want to let him know before that but I don’t want to ruin our amazing friendship. I kinda feel at loss and I am not to sure what to doㅠㅠ | Crushes |
I (30M) have never really been in a relationship. I have had crushes before, but they have never resulted in anything. I am an introvert and also think my voice and facial appearance are not great so that may play a part in my lack of confidence.
I recently met someone (F, early 20s) for lunch - we go to the same university, and it was my first time meeting her. We are from two different countries, studying in a third country.
She is amazing. I had such a great time talking to her.
I texted her for a while after that, but my overtexting got the better of me and my overly affectionate language messed things up. She felt awkward (anyone would) and politely texted me about it as she was not comfortable, and I apologized and she understood my intentions were good, but in the process I screwed up and said something like "it's better we don't meet again", I obviously didn't mean this, I just said this as I wanted to give her space but it was counterproductive I think. I tried telling her that it is her choice but I would like to start the friendship from scratch, but I have not heard back in days.
I messed up by overtexting and by saying we should not meet. I don't know why I was such a fool. She is amazing, and the fact that I might have lost her even as a friend is such a horrible feeling. How can I revive the friendship? I know I must give time but I am scared that as time goes on, she may forget about me and then chances of reviving the friendship may be even slimmer. But if I try to revive it so soon, it may again be counterproductive.
I want the best for her, and for her to be happy always. I would appreciate any advice. | Crushes |
So my friends and I just had attractive guys move in the apartment across from us. There’s one that I think is super cute that said hi to us the other day and I had an embarrassing moment where I tripped and he was like oh no be careful. How can I start a conversation without seeming weird? If anything it would be nice to be friends with our neighbors. The only thing is we live in a big building and rarely see them so not sure when I would see them next unless I initiate it somehow.
Thanks!

I have this crush at my sports club. We have never spoken to each other, much less had a conversation. I really like him because (1) he's the probably one of the cutest guys I've ever seen in my life, (2) I've seen him interact with his sister and friends and he's really sweet and funny, and (3) he's really good at the sport we do. We have a few similarities in the way we compete and play said sport so I've tried to find an opening to start a conversation with that, but he's obviously very shy, and so am I, thus resulting in me missing my chances to talk to him when I get them. The only signs I've had of knowing he maybe has a tiny bit of interest in me is that I catch him staring, like, a lot, then he becomes a bit flustered and looks away. It probably means nothing, but I'd like to at least be friends with him. Should I go for it? And if so, how?
P.S. As a homeschooled sophomore who just recently began socializing and interacting with others my age, I don't really know how to handle this, as it's probably my first genuine crush as a highschooler so I'd appreciate some advice and encouragement. Thank you in advance! | Crushes |
This is someone who I was just starting to get to know. We’re both in college. He gave me his number in class and told me to shoot him a text, which I did. Some back and forth ensued, he’d ask me how my day was, weekend plans, etc. One day he asked if I wanted to grab a coffee and study, to which I agreed. We worked on an assignment together and went out for food. It was great, he seemed like a cool guy and I enjoyed getting to know him. We met up again the next day before class and he was very warm, seemed even happier to see me and was complimenting me a bit which made me feel kinda nervous and flustered. I also was distracted and not as talkative because I was focused on finishing the hw.
Since then though he’s been kinda distant? He didn’t text me for a week until I reached out and asked to meet up this week to study again. He did reply and tried to call me, but I was in class so I couldn’t answer, but I texted him and told him that I was sorry for missing his call. He said it was all good and he’ll let me know when he’s free. It’s been almost a good five days now and I haven’t heard a word from him. Ik he’s busy but this is such a change from just three weeks ago when he’d text nearly every day. I guess I just wanna know what’s changed. A part of me thought he might have liked me but I feel like it was all in my head. I could ask but I don’t want to put him in an awkward position | Crushes |
Ok this is kind of a long story but in short we both liked this girl but she already knew my friend liked her (group chat got leaked). I told her I liked her and she said she wants to stay single for now and she doesn't want to ruin me and my friends relationship.
Fast forward 2 weeks they're dating. Now I never talked bad about them or hated her. I told him congratulations and sapped him up. I still don't talk to the girl but l've never disrespected her. I accepted it as it was none of my business who they want to date and i've been moving on. Now fast forward another 2 weeks I hear from a friend of my ex-crush that my friend told her I wanted to give her the BBC and whatever sexual shit he made up.
Now here's where it's even more complex because "technically" I did say that but it was completely out of context. He was insecure that she liked me and he was making dick jokes about me and the BBC meme. So I joked around with him like "yeah bro i will". Apparently he screenshotted the message and showed her. Now her friends and her think i'm a weirdo. Thankful one of them told me because she didn't believe it and thank god. I've never talked bad about him ever so it shocked me. Funny enough we agreed like a month ago to NEVER expose our messages but hey. Now I want to go tell him that I know what he did and I want to tell the girl that this shit is not true but I don't know when exactly he told her and if that effected why she rejected me saying she doesn't want to ruin me and my friends friendship but then dates him a 2 weeks later. I don’t know if he stares talking shit about me before or after he started dating her, or before or after she rejected me. Any advice for this impossible situation?
TL;DR: My friend lied about me to my crush which may have been the reason why she rejected me and dated him and now I'm wondered if I should expose him | Crushes |
Girl in my friend group never finishes her drinks when we’re both out, I’ll have like x3 as much alcohol by the end of the night. But when she goes out without me she drinks too much and vomits or blacks out… She’ll even pour her drinks into my cup and doesn’t do this with anyone else. | Crushes |
So basically I'm here to ask you guys cause I'm not to sure about the situation or happened not to long ago,so I'm in class right,we was on break then I'm in cupboard tryna get my book and allat then my crush and his mate come over and then my crush let's call him Carl and his mate Jonah come over to me and we start horsing about having a laugh and then Carl pretends to grab something from the cupboard behind me yet its closed and he wraps his hands around my waist then looks into my eyes and smiles then I smile back and grab his hands and push him away jokingly asking him to p!ss off then his ex gf and her mate who Carl is always with like hanging out so there all the very of friends i can say,let's call the ex Amirah and the ex's mate Anikah so Amirah sees me with her ex bf and after hearing me say piss off she imitates me in a high pitched voice saying piss off and I'm like ok gurllll werk 💀😭then later when the lesson starts since Im always wearing my airpods in that lesson my crush noticed so he jokingly asks me to take my airpods out and I laugh saying I've not got them in amd the eye contact we had throughout this interaction 😮💨I almost got messy💀if ykyk so Amirah and Anikah notice and they give me the sideye of my life and also when the teacher asked us to go on the board and like draw stuff on it I went up .Carl was about to leave the board but when I came up he stayed to talk to me we had a chat and laughed the ex werent to thrilled tho also i overhead them talk abouthow ugly i was 😜and how my braids were like days old 💀idrc tbh btw one time i was seated infront of him and he like played with my braids since theyre like butt length so when i sot they touch the floor, theyre long😭,but Carl and her are really good friends like I'm talking since primary school so not sure why she took it that way I ain't tryna steal her mans tho ,I might be💀thoughts?.
For those who don't wanna read allat my crush "accidentally " grabbed my waist his ex and her BFF were mad I talked to him again they were more mad and they called me ugly😜and talked shi bout my hair being days old and that's the about it💀sorry 4 the long text I'm really talkative even in text💀 | Crushes |
Thank god my friend told me before I embarrassed myself | Crushes |
***I need this to be as fast as it can be.***
I am in a critical position right now, I need this time to focus on my studies since in a month I am going to be sitting for an exam that will define my life forever, an exam I have been preparing for for 4 years.
My feelings for him (along with some mental health issues) are making it impossible for me to focus. I am always thinking about him, always texting him or thinking about what to text him. I can't focus for one single second on my work. I am kinda obsessive when it comes to love especially because it's the first time I fall for someone that actually gets me, whose company I adore.
To give some context, this guy is a classmate of mine, we're in the same friend group but we have a special friendship, we're very close. I tried my luck with him, I gave hints, I flirted, and I did all I could in the realm of my capability. He is a very shy person, very very reserved, the second some flirty joke becomes slightly serious he just bounces back and gets very shy and changes the subject immediately. One time we were talking and I asked why his brain short-circuits every time there was a slight hint that he was lovable, he said he just can't believe it, he's not built to believe it. It felt sad given that I was falling for him harder every day.
I can't do anything about it. The only logical thing to do is move on. Although theoretically, we would be a good couple because we are so compatible, it will never happen. After this exam which is a month from now, we will be going our separate ways.
I need to accept that I needn't focus on him, my feelings for him are a lost cause. I need to focus on the work that I abandoned for so long because of this.
I need help. I am losing it emotionally and academically. | Crushes |
I was in class and these two girls came up to me and my crush individually and both asked us if we liked each other. He didn’t say anything which made me go into panic mode. they asked me, I said, “I don’t like anyone and ran away ”. But still, to this day after 2/2 years, I still like him. He stares at me sometimes but whenever he’s with his friends he ignores me but when he’s not he looks at me. they still teased me after that but now I never hear anyone talk about it. I’m so confused, am I a bad person for still liking him | Crushes |
This is an older story, because it happened in August. My crush and I work at a restaurant on our university campus, and he's my shift lead, even though he's a few months younger than me. My crush and I didn't see each other at all during the summer, and we only texted once. I went to Europe for three weeks in the summer. We follow each other on Instagram, so he saw all of the stories. When we got back to work, as I was making my way to the front, I saw my crush, but he was doing something in the back, so I said hi briefly.
He came back out to the front after a few minutes. He was acting fine around another shift lead, and a few of my other coworkers. But he would get quiet around me. There was one point where he and I were literally standing side by side doing things, but not saying anything At this point, he sighed. I then asked him how his summer was. He told me, and then he was leaning against the counter looking at me. We wear masks at work, but I could tell he was blushing. He said "I saw you did a fair amount of traveling". So I told him about it, and after that, he and I resumed to our normal banter. | Crushes |
I identified as a lesbian for a really long time, until I started liking this guy (A), and i’m terrified he’s gonna find out because me and him are really close and if he finds out he’s gonna distance and be weirded out. I can’t see myself in a relationship with him and he’s not even like attractive physically to me it’s just his personality and it’s confusing and scary and I’m not sure anymore and I’m scared to be in class with him tomorrow because if i slip up and say something weird or even remotely flirty he’s gonna get super awkward. I don’t want to distance from him either though because he’s so funny and just nice to be around | Crushes |
i got a crush on one of my clasmates.

​
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH ME!!!!

thx. | Crushes |
I know this is supposed to be against bro code, but I’m jw if anyone’s had experience with this personally. From either end- whether you’re the friend or the sister. | Crushes |
just yesterday, i finally finished the show he recommended me a year ago. and there was this scene where the bride and ex had a handshake.
which makes me think he shook my hand to actually say farewell and goodbye. its honestly really sad now that i think about it, but dude i love this connection w the movie im going insane. | Crushes |
Hey, I (F24) have a crush on this guy (M24) who is acting a little toooooo chill for my liking.
A little backstory: I met this guy two years ago at a friend’s beach party. We connected instantly and it was sweet because everyone else was kind of doing their own thing, but him and I on the other hand, had a great conversation and it was fun.
Later after that he was trying really hard to get my attention and wanted to meet me again, I was liking it ofc but I already was talking to someone else at the time.
Our conversations kind of ended, very much evaporated. We went our separate ways because I already was talking to someone else.
Two years later (four months after my breakup, as in right now) we kind of started flirting again. I met up with him again for the first time.. had lunch and chilled at his place where we ended up making out.
Later we met again.. twice in one week and both the times it was sweet. But get this: he bombs me with the sweetest words ever but then disappears on me for like an entire day too.
So like I don’t know what’s going on but I think I have a big fat crush on him. And I’m kinda beating myself up for chilling (making out and stuff) with him because of all the high value woman content I’ve been seeing for example do not give guys girlfriend privileges (kissing and hugging etc) which is messing w my head a little.
I don’t want any mind games and definitely not something as fleeting as a temporary fling. But my hearts fat as hell. He said some of the sweetest things to me but he keeps saying he’s an ass too… help 😣 | Crushes |
So I have a guy I met online and it's been 4 months since we started talking. We are really close and plays a lot of games together. He would take the initiative to invite me to play games everynight either with his other friends or just the two of us. There was one time when he suddenly didn't message me for four days straight which completely baffled me but I didn't try to reach out at all and just observe him sometimes playing games with the other. On one night, I was hanging out with the other friends and he came in a bit later. I didn't talk to him and acted like I was afk the whole time until I said to them that I need to go to bed one hour later. He messaged good night to me and starting there he started sending me message everyday like he usually did. However for a whole week we never played privately like we did before and I thought maybe I should make the first move this time and I invited him to watch movie together. He said yes but later we still ended up watching movie in a public call and ended up playing games after one if his friends said the movie was boring and that we should play game instead. I was totally disappointed after that. But then on the next week, he went to a different country and he suddenly ask if I'm free to call and I agreed to it. I thought he sounds off but turn out he was a little bit drunk and he suddenly started saying he usually can't sleep if he went to another country since he is not used to the different environments there. So we ended up watching videos and draw together. After that he would messaged me asking to play games everyday and sometimes he would greet me in the morning which he never did before. He also starts sending random message (updating what he is doing or asking what I'm currently doing etc) which turn into a very long conversation. He also started calling me cute every single time we are talking. We would be calling everynight and play games with onlt the two of us for hours. But the thing is he is a very friendly and polite person so I was confused if he is just being friendly to me or if he does have feelings for me. He also said that he haven't been playing games with other in a while since he enjoys playing with me. I wasn't sure if he was flirting or everything was just me being delusional | Crushes |
At first, it was merely a slight crush. You said that you aren't looking for that right now, alright. We've been good friends for another year. I look up to you. But, you're going to be leaving soon... I don't know what I'm going to do. We hang out in your car and listen to your favorite song (you know the one. It's absolutely glorious). You are just so genuinely kind to me. You always have time to listen, and you along with our other friends have the best, most genuine and intellectual conversations I have had the privilege of contributing to.
Hell, you even let me steal your fries. And it was *only* me who was allowed to. I don't know what to think. Every time you're near me I can't seem to want to talk to anyone else. I've wanted to ask you for a hug, but I know you aren't big on physical contact. So I won't. But I will absolutely talk about how amazing you are. You are quite talented, dextrous, creative, and have really nice hair. Seriously please don't change that hair it's so pretty. You are verbose, passionate, and *man* can you confection stuff. Also, your sense of humor is awful, but I love it.
Anyway these are just a few of the things I wish I could say t your face but won't. I want every last moment before you leave to be happy.
I'll see you tomorrow :) | Crushes |
Why do I crush completely inappropriate people? Why am I like that?
For example my language teacher then the chemistry one. The first one was twice my age I think. It is not normal.
And then the opera singer I somewhat got to know, not mentioning the fact that he is thirty-ish and I am barely 18 XD
You can freely laugh at my stupidity and immaturity because I totally lost hope in myself. | Crushes |
I’ve had a serious one year relationship in the past and would like to think i’m fairly experienced but this same problem always comes up. I don’t know how to go up and start a conversation with a girl that i’ve never talked to. We follow each other on social media, not that that means anything but should I just text her first? I know people always say you should do this kind of stuff in person but I really just don’t know what to say if i would to do it in person and I have social anxiety. | Crushes |
I really like an acquaintance/friend of mine and I'm trying to decode his behavior to figure out if he likes me or not
Here are some things to note
- He always greets me with a basic "hi" "hello" or "hey" with my name
- He uses my name a lot in conversation but he seems to use people's names a lot in general so it may not mean anything
- He'll compliment me but it's non-flirty stuff like "that's really cool" in response to something I did or "you're the best" or "you're really slaying today"
- Whenever we talk he seems pretty engaged and always eager and willing to listen to what I have to say
- When we text, he never initiates conversation but he always responds and is usually pretty engaged in the conversation (asking questions, using emojis, etc...)
Any feedback would be appreciated! | Crushes |
Long story short, I have a crush on this really beautiful guy who’s very smart, funny, creative, etc. and we’re friends. He’s really similar to me in a lot of ways and he is very special to me. I’ve had a crush on him for like five months and we only see each other for a little bit like once a week. Yesterday I got to be around him for longer than I usually do and I learned a lot about him, and in some ways it made me like him more, but in others I felt sort of disenchanted.
Basically he’s very pragmatic and determined to pursue technology, and he also wants a family when he’s older. This is not the kind of lifestyle I want to pursue. I do not want children and I would be happiest with a partner that I can be creative with, which I probably could be with him, since he is also creative, but I also want someone that is more adventurous. It’s hard to describe.
Basically, I really like him but I don’t think we would be happy together in the future because of a few big differences in our goals. And I’m really sad about it because of all the other stuff we have in common. I don’t know. I’m just not sure | Crushes |
So i am in a really good friendship with this girl and i want to ask her out but i am not sure she will say yes. so how do i ask her out in a way that if she rejects me i dont ruin our friendship? | Crushes |
I (13 f) have realised that whenever I have a crush on anyone...my crushes always end up liking my friends. I also just found out that my crush gave my bestfriend a random gift for no reason even though they don't know eachother that much
So what should I do?... | Crushes |
She’s my crush since 2019 and this year i took my shot and we are in the talking stage since February . She haven’t been in a relationship for a while . She find it really difficult to show love and emotion even though I believe she loves me . I think we are in a good place right now and i think i should shoot my shot and ask her to be my gf .. there’s a 5% chance she hits me with the i am not ready what should i do | Crushes |
Hello! I recently been having a crush on someone I saw at the laundromat. It’s been a few weeks of us staring at each other and every week he folds his laundry closer to me. We have never introduced ourselves. I was planning to say hi two weeks ago, but he didn’t show up. And then again, I was planning to do it this week that just passed and he didn’t show up again. He also puts his headphones on and watches videos on his phone right after loading up the washing machine. How should I approach him and say hi if I see him again?
Last week, my sister told me she saw him walking to the laundromat when she drove by on her way to work. And it was a different day than we usually go. So I assumed he went another day this week, too. I was kinda bummed since I finally got the courage to go up to him. Or maybe I creeped him out with my staring, I don’t know.
Another question, should I just wait for him to show up again on the days I go? Or go out of my way to find him at the laundromat another day? | Crushes |
Why do people who may actually, legitimately have a real crush on you, not show ANY interest? I'm not really looking for "They're probably just shy" type of answers though. I'm actually curious. Maybe some of you reading have done this or are currently doing it? I'll say my main reason tends to be I usually like more extroverted people but I don't really do anything at all because in my mind I can't see me dating them. Usually, it'll be people who are more *popular* in a sense where they have tons of friends and I'd think I would get made fun of if I was with them. | Crushes |
Me (16M) and my crush (17F) have a few classes together, one of which we sit next to each other. I had a feeling that she liked me for about 6 months, but I wasn't sure.
In my mind, there were three possibilities.
1) She likes me and doesn't know that I like her.
2) She likes me and does know that I like her.
3) She doesn't like me and knows that I like her.
I thought that I was behaving way to obvious for her to not realize I liked her unless she also liked me, as then her self-doubt might prevent her from being sure that I liked her.
She just kept staring at me CONSTANTLY. She would also give me a ton of compliments and kept making conversation with me. She always seemed genuinely interested in talking with me, and I had even seen her blushing when around me on a few occasions.
This led me to believe that scenario 3 couldn't be true, as why would she be doing all of these things that could very easily be interpreted as her liking me?
I ended up asking for her number one day, and she just seemed disinterested, but it wasn't very easy to read her emotions. She was in a slight hurry, so she just handed me her phone to put my number into, but I accidentally made a typo inputting my number.
When we came back to school, we didn't talk to each other much at all. Eventually after about a week, she had asked me if I had received any of her texts, to which I answered no (I already knew that I had put in the wrong number).
It's been two months now, and we've barely talked at all, only occasionally saying more than a few words to each other. She's still very nice and polite to me, but she no longer stares at me like she used to. She's also been struggling a lot in our math class, and since I asked for her number, she hasn't asked for my help at all. I feel really bad that she doesn't want to ask for my help anymore. | Crushes |
I have a crush on this guy from my office, who, if the math is mathing, is 20 years elder to me. He is a gentleman in general, sweet to all the ladies. We had a brief conversation by the water cooler. Have no idea about his relationship or marital status but was creepy enough to find his socials. My team mates know about it and one of my colleagues sent him a follow request on Insta, which I immediately withdrew. Since, that day I think, he is being angry about it, because he kinda looks at me with serious eyes, but that colleague says it's all in my head.
He loves his dog! (if that helps!) I don't know what to do because I keep looking for chances to have a glance of him at the office, even though he works for a completely different department!
HELP!! | Crushes |

I (35f) have Feelings for introverted male friend (37m) but not sure if he likes me
I really like this guy I work with, we have been chatting quite a bit, flirt back and forth, and joke around a lot. We also text often, but most of the time I’m the one who initiates the texting. He has before, just not as much. I’ve asked him to hang out a few times and he says he’d like to, but then we never do. I told him it felt personal, but he said he is introverted and it just takes a long time to open up and be outgoing. He said it’s even difficult to commit to family at times. I’m definitely more extroverted and not used to this, I’m not trying to be forceful, but it’s also hard to get a read on the whole thing. I’ve been trying my best to understand his perspective, but I’m just struggling.
I’m trying to give him space by not texting for a few days and trying to respect his boundaries. I guess question is, do you think he’s even interested in me or is just being nice and doesn’t want to actually say it. Just trying to figure out how to proceed.
TLDR: I like a male introvert, not sure if he likes me back as he said it takes a long time to open up. Do I continue to pursue? | Crushes |
this is why I don't allow myself to have crushes bro l'm gonna VOMIT and I can't sleep I'm not built for this@
I can't fathom that they think I'm like. Pretty. teehee blush like ur adorable ass is right thereaaaASAAA. I haven’t felt desirable in a long time I’ve been so shut in since my abusive relationship in my teen years then covid but it feels so good to be wanted and all blushy and stuff. I feel like my heart is lighting up again for the first time in a long long time | Crushes |
Ok so i have got the worst crush you could possibly imagine. i have a crush on my best (and only) friend i am lesbian they are a trans guy they are also 4 years older than me and they see me as a little sister WHAT DO I DOOOOO????? | Crushes |
What should I say, our bands show is today and I was planning on asking her after.
I'll edit and tell you what she says | Crushes |
I(19M) am in love with my female friend(20F). We are not bestfriends but we are pretty close.
I've liked her since January 2023. Sometimes it felt like she likes me more than friend(maybe just my hunch i dunno) but sometimes the opposite. Now I am stuck between my feelings and friendship.
We are in a friend circle so if I confess to her, it may ruin our friendship and also it will be awkward to stay in the circle.
so what should I do? confess her or not? | Crushes |
I'm in the friendzone and she thinks of herself of not the „relationship" kinda person even when she had various sexual experiences and relationships in her past I didn't have, I'm 18 btw. The biggest problem, she's generally very experienced and I'm not. While she was in Denmark for a year during covid and lived with a group of 10 exchange students alone in a closed intern because they didn't want to go home yet and then had to survive alone in this country and had several adventures in this time she often tells me about, .... I played video games at home, you see? She dreams of going abroad again after finishing school and l'm not planning to do that, so even if I had a chance it wouldn't last long.
The point is, all in all it's a hopeless situation for me and i know that but my inner self doesn't want to accept that and it hurts. Since months.
And she's in same class and also in this new friendgroup I have joined and closed in my heart and because she doesn't have a car and l'm the only one who lives in the same village as her, she always drives with me when we do sth in that group.
So i definitely can't avoid her as it's always recommended, and forgetting her and move on doesn't really work if you nearly every day have to look in her caribbean blue eyes and her sun kissed freckles you
know.
Does anybody have a certain Idea how to end this horror? | Crushes |
Ok so I’ve been noticing some gestures from this male classmate of mine…and I want to know what you guys think. Since I could be dense sometimes
1.)He’s always the first one to view my IG stories
2.) He used to react on the stories with my face on it…now he only reacts on stories with group pics
3.) He looks for me during events
4.) He greets me by my name, instead of the generics or my family name.
5.) Some of his chats can be interpreted as either friendly or he likes me…but what usually directs it to the latter is the amount of emojis he uses to somehow make it intense
6.) There was this one instance where suddenly squeezed my wrist after greeting me (I honestly don’t know what it’s for). | Crushes |
So iam a male and i been friends with this girl for months...recently got feelings for her...she had told me that she tends to ghost people who confess to her ...but despite that i went on and confessed to her ...she told me that she appreciated that i told her, i jokingly asked if she would ghost me, she said she dk ...but later said that" it's ok we r good "...
And she didn't talk to me for like 5 days, i also didn't except send one post on insta that she saw but didn't reply...well today she liked that post and said she was really sorry for ghosting me like that, also asked if i was alright...idk what to do mann, i didn't really want her to feel bad or apologize, i told her it's fine, iam alrightz and it's ok, nothing to worry about.... | Crushes |
I have a crush on a girl and I think she likes me back. We are both in High School and the same class.
So I want to confess my feelings but I am not sure if school is the best place for that.
I was thinking about getting ice cream together because she loves ice cream, but if anyone has another suggestion I'd love to know.
How do I even ask her to hangout though? Should I ask her after school, by texting her, ...? She gets picked up by her parents after school because she lives quite far from it. So I can't really just ask her after school and go hangout. Should we go on the weekend? What do you think I should do? | Crushes |
So, I am really into a girl that's in the same swimming team as I am. We get along very well and after some time I realized I have a thing for her. Now, I am absolutely TERRIBLE at reading people's emotions or taking hints so I would be very thankful for y'all's opinion on this. I really don't know if I should shoot a shot or not. We oftenly compliment eachother, back off to somewhere private if there's a group of people, sit next to eachother most of the time etc. There were some occasions that made me think she might actually like me but I still can't be sure. Just today as we were driving on a bus I fell asleep on her shoulder and she wasn't bothered by it at all (after I woke up she told me about it) and we also just layed on her bed looking up and laughed for hours, on multiple occasions she told me how she hates her current boyfriend and will brake up with him in a day or two. There were some more things like that but those stood out the most. I wanted to tell her how I feel but I can't build up the currage to do it. What do y'all think, should I confess or just let it be? (I am very sorry if I made any mistakes in this post, I'm still learning english) | Crushes |
I'm so happy! We were both doing a play this weekend (although she didn't act in it. Makeup crew) and we hung out a lot before, after, during intermission, and during the scenes that I wasn't in. I've liked her since 2019, and we're great friends! Well, she confessed that she liked me and that she was praying that I liked her back, and (of course) I did! WE BOTH LIKED EACH OTHER! We're now together!
So yeah, yesterday was one of the best days of my life. | Crushes |
I(13M,Tall,curly hair,brown skin)Ok this feels awkward to confess my feelings because im really obsessed with my crush but i never really talk to girls before im not scared to talk i just dont know what to say.But about my crush, it seems like she also likes a guy in our classroom, but I'm not 100% sure, and besides, she doesn't have a crush on me, and she doesn't seem interested in me. I've never been able to talk to her about things like borrowing a ball pen and the whole classroom knows that I have a crush on her but I don't want to be her girlfriend right away I just want to be friends with her but it seems impossible that she will accept me to be his boyfriend if we become friends it seems like my only hope is that she likes me if i became slightly more handsome im not being arrogant but i think my only ugly facial features my nose and some little fat in my cheeks but im trying to work out now and also we have 2 different lives I live a pretty peacefull life while she lives a i think a rebellious kid would act execpt if she dont hate her parents or any of her family. So what should i do to become friends with her and not to hate me?(i live in the Philippine by the way where both from the country) | Crushes |

I (M18) live with a uni friend (M18) and while I’ve never asked him directly, I believe that we both like the same girl (F18). Tonight, he said that he’s asked her over to dinner (as in the three of us hang out together). The three of us are all close, the two of them slightly more so than she and I, but we’ve hung out like this and the past and it turned out with me being a very awkward third wheel. I feel like it’s best that I leave the house and let them be, but on the other hand, it gives them more time to get closer and make it seem like I’m not interested in being around her. What do I do?
Tl:dr
My friend and I both like the same girl. She’s coming over for dinner and I feel like I’m gonna third wheel. What do I do? | Crushes |
Ok look, after I got advice last time I got told I should tell her how I feel, BUT HOW DO YOU TELL SOMEONE YOU LIKE THEM. Seriously I have no clue how. I feel like it would be really awkward thing and I don't know how to ask. I REALLY like her back but I don't know how to tell her. Should I give her signs back or something?!? And if so how do I give her signs I like her back???? Should I just keep hanging out with her and see if she says something??? Should I just keep hanging out with her and help her?? Should I tell her when we are calling each other or should I do it irl????WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO. | Crushes |
She likes to send both text messages and audio messages. A long time ago, she did a “text impression” of me (who always types with perfect grammar and spelling). So today, I did one of her (lots of all-caps sentences, emojis, some text language, doesn’t use much punctuation). She sent me back an audio of just her giggling with the most adorable squeal at the end, and then another one where she tried to do an impression of my talking voice (which is pretty deep) that ended in her being impressed with herself and giggling.
I already found her so dangerously adorable before, but this has me kind of dying of cuteness over here. | Crushes |
