So I was at my friend’s place at the weekend. There was my friend, her friend and her friend’s friend (:D). The random dude (my friend’s friend’s friend that we can call M) and I were really close on that night. We kissed, cuddled and talked about everything. The M is a younger than me. The reason why I mention that is, that I usually like guys who are older than me. but now M does not talk to me anymore. Did I something wrong? I really dont know

So last night I (M26) was with my boyfriend (M27) and finally told him how much he means to me. I told him how I was in a dark place before meeting him since the death of my mom and how I had lived for a while in perpetual sadness, then anger, and then just emptiness. I had decided that if I couldn't bring myself to be happy by the time I was 30 I would've likely ended my own life. The day I met him...he was meant to be a one night stand, one of many to provide a temporary bandage for an eternal wound. But after we did the do, we got to talking and sharing stories and somewhere between glances, he stopped being just some hookup and I found my heart racing. At first it made me angry with myself. I didn't want to someone else to be the reason I felt whole again...I wanted the strength to do that on my own but I realize how naive that thought was and try as I might, I couldn't fight my feelings for him and continued to see him and to grow closer. There are aspects of our relationship that aren't innocent that I discovered but I had decided for the first time in my life to covet this feeling. He's restored my innate joy and words can't express how much I love him. I told all of this to him, scared but happy that I have something to be scared of. Part of me never wanted to tell him because I don't want him to feel any obligation to be with me if for any reason he wasn't happy but i knew he deserved to know. He assured me that he accepted my feelings...even the dark parts. I swear that I'll marry him someday. I don't know If I've ever been this happy. Sorry if this seems like rambling. I just needed a way to let these feelings out.

I really like him I'm not sure if he likes me he makes me laugh and he flirts with me a lot like today he asked me if I have had my first kiss and he asked about my past relationships and he was saying stuff like when I said I asked my ex out he said "me?" so I think he feels the same way as me lol. hopefully, this made sense its kinda hard to explain! he also said he wants half of me so not sure what that means lol idk if he meant something else and if u might know what he meant lmk! he also fell asleep on my shoulder not sure if that means anything!

So, I got a crush on this girl on my class, she's been there for over a year now and since then I've been looking at her (not literally) Turns out that her family are good friends of mine (kind off), and she used to come over to my house when we were 3 year olds to play with me. However she doesn't knows or remember about that, neither did I before my mother told me so. Should I tell her this? Maybe I could get closer to her with this or something

So I like this girl in my art class, we sit at a table that has our group of art class friends. And I'm just learning more about her, she really likes my favourite band. And she's really nice, and I might be reading to much into it but I feel like she might like me a bit, when she smiles at anything random, it just seems so different then when she's smiling at something I did, it's almost softer? She keeps eye contact when we talk (which most people I know don't do), and then I got sick and all the group was saying stuff like "man that sucks"(which is still nice) but she was the only one to actually say "hope you get better soon". I really hope I'm not reading to much into it, I'm gonna try to talk to her more

I need some encouragement 😀 our local theater's gonna be showing a series of Studio Ghibli movies (which I know he knows what they are), so I'm gonna casually mention that I'm gonna go see one (one of my favorite movies, Howl's Moving Castle). Based on his reaction, I'll then do the ol' "youwe should go see it." Should I do it on Tuesday, when I'm not working with him but I'm going up to work for Wifi, or should I do it on Wednesday when I work with him?

Probably no one’s going to answer but I’ll dew it anyway P.S. All of this happened in separate cases. They’re not a group. I just complied them into one because they were all so similar. The past year(approximately a year ago to now) I noticed some girls were staring at me. the girls initiate the staring, so they stare when I’m not looking. Whenever I do look at them, they look away to the side, not down or up and away. One of them did this frequently everyday and she never talked to me. Oddly enough, most of them never talked to me or do anything else . Just the staring and the looking away part whenever I noticed. Weirdly enough, most of them in this case were white brunettes and I’m brown(indian) The only reason I’m posting this because it’s weird and makes no sense

Backstory: I kinda had a "love at first sight" moment with this super cute guy in my uni. He is SUPER quiet and mostly by himself. However, I still managed to get him to do things with me after Uni and we became friends quickly ♡ I then asked him out on a date to which he said that he needs me to know that he is not dating at the moment but we can still have a date (which was crazy because I was so sure he would just say no lol) The thing I need advice on: So we had our date. It was very cute and just super relaxed and comfy. I slept on his chest and we just chilled haha. At some point I said that I absolutely respect his choice of not dating anyone but since we were literally ON A DATE I wanted to know what was going on. He just said that he is also confused by that ??? Since that wasn't too insightful I just asked if he would consider a second date and he literally said "maybe" 💀💀 he then explained that he is in his early 20s and has no plan. So he isn't dating but we WERE on a date and it was super cute but then he said "maybe" when asked about a 2nd date.... what am I supposed to do? Am I supposed do to anything at all?? (Idk if this important but we're texting everyday since our 1st date and things aren't weird or anything) I would really appreciate your thoughts on this, especially if you're also the more introverted type like him 💞

I drove her home from school one day and she was singing out loud to the radio. She has a beautiful voice, I don’t know if this means anything but I was just happy that she was comfortable enough to sing out loud in front of me, and that she enjoyed my music taste lol.

I very much appreciate from those who sent me positive feedback on telling my crush that I like him sadly I chickened out at the last minute and my anxiety got the best of me.

A coworker who i was flirting with for the summer returned to school across the country and thus wasn’t my coworker anymore. Her university is where all my extended family lives. We happened to be in the city at the same time as i was attending a wedding. So i thought why not ill ask her to catch up and grab a bite a few days in the future. She replies instantly with “yes!!” and “whats your phone number i can text you”. She doesn’t read my message with my. number Two days go by she still hasn’t read my message with my number and the date is suppose to be tomorrow. I decide ill message her to confirm the date and also set a time. i am now waiting not feeling hopeful lol. Is it over or will she message me?

It's so...exhausting to constantly think of someone, think about what you could be together, then also know that they probably haven't thought about you once. You think about how cute they are, how it would be if you were in a relationship with them, and they dont know your name. It's so frustrating and I know me and him would never work out, but I can't shake off the crush and the more time I spend away from him the more time I think about him..it's like there's no winning with a crush. You tell them: you risk ruining everything you have with them and them never thinking of you the same (in a bad way) You don't tell them: they never know and you're just stuck thinking "should I have done it? Is it too late? What if I had just changed one thing?" AHHHHHHH

I wanna start this off by saying that we have not officially introduced ourselves to each other but I really want to go up to him and say something. I just started college about 3 weeks ago and we ended up first seeing each other on the first day of classes. At first I wasn’t really sure if I liked him or not but the other night really made me realize that I really do like him. I am studying music and on the first day of classes we ended up sitting directly across from each other and haven’t moved from sitting next to each other ever since. During class I’ll catch him looking at me but as soon as I look at him he’ll look away and the same applies to me. We always end up seeing each other at the most convenient times as well. The other night (the night I was talking about in the beginning of this post) I ended up going to a club with some friends and my friend ended up seeing one of his friends so me and him went go talk to him and low and behold my crush was right there in front of me looking at me and smiling. But I got really nervous so I didn’t say anything to him. I did try to go walk around to find him but I think he ended up leaving by then. I’m really thinking about talking to him when classes start back up on Tuesday when classes start back up but I’m not sure what to even say to him. I have never had a crush like this ever and I really wouldn’t want to say anything that would sound weird.

Around 2-3 months ago i decided to listen to the advices given and joined random communities based on my hobbies (videogames/competitive gaming). I forced myself to be active on these communities everyday, talking with people, acting friendly ect... On one of these i met a girl who was pretty kind to me (she is probably around 20 Y/o american) She is a pretty popular girl in the community but she sometime greeted me and we had a fun talk a few times, we shared hobbies as well she does cosplay, we both played the same games and we talked music.I did find her pretty cute (i don't really know what she thought of me but she knows what i look like). She did talk about her having a crush and how anxious she feels around him though, which really doesn't put me at an advantage here. I asked Reddit on different dating subs for what i should do here and most of the (very few) answers i got was just to ask her out and see what would happen. So the next day i waited for her to be online, sent her a few dms asking if we could have a talk, i laid bare my feelings toward her and asked her if she wanted to be in (or at least try) a ldr with me. (i reassured her, i told her that i can give affection, i can be caring and that i can look over flaws/can talk it out maturely) She just answered "No Wtf", sent it to the mods of the community, blocked me and now people are dodging me, I think she could've been less rough here, she didn't have to ruin all the work i've put in socializing in a community like that. God forbid a young man for expressing his feelings A part of me hopes she'll get rejected by that crush of her and understand how it feels and another part of me is hoping she'll be happy with whoever she gets with. She'll forget me and stay happy while im at rock bottom. It's literally a game of luck, being at the right time at the right place. Anyway, people are snakes, i want to stop existing and i want to isolate myself a bit more everyday, to cry sleep and starve until im no more, not that i can even do any of these three, my body won't let me cry, i can't fall asleep and i just made a sandwich for the sake of it. I don't deserve shit tbh tl;dr: grew enough confidence to ask her, she rejected me harshly and it's terrible

Since October of this year I have been going to my friend's uni in order to spend more time with them before I travel to study abroad. Many of my friends from my school and other new friends I've meet this year are in this uni + it is near my house so there's not too much problem for me to go in there. One day I was with two friends (all girls) at a basketball game at the uni. While we were watching the game, a really cute guy walked in front of us and sat next to us. I asked my friends if they knew him and one of them told me he was in one of her classes. I asked her to introduce him to me and she did. He resulted to be a really respectful guy, kinda shy, but really interesting. I asked him his IG account and he gave it to me. The next days at the uni we talked a little bit and we had a "date" (idk if it was a date bc I we only sat both together at the cafeteria while talking). He's really handsome and I'm really into him. I had posted two pictures of myself in my IG stories and he liked them. However, there's one problem. He never texts me. I don't know why, but he replies really late my messages. I don't know if he's into me + I don't know how to start a conversation with him without knowing he will be replying late. The last time I went to uni, the uni guards asked me and my friends our ID card and bc I don't have one (because I'm not in that uni), they told me to leave and I'm kinda scared to go again and that the guards recognize me, so it has been about 2 weeks since I have not been going + not seeing this guy. I need advice, should I text him? Any ideas on how to start a conversation with him?

If the flair doesn’t already already say it, I’ve been rejected. Rejected, friendzoned same thing, but this is third time this year I’ve been rejected. Out of the three I think this time hurts the most, not all crushes turn out, especially when it’s a school crush like mine. I hate rejection, I hate feeling sad, I hate it! I ask myself the same question everyday “What’s the point in loving someone when you know they’ll turn you away” because it’s how things turn out for me. I am only young and hopefully one day I will find the one, but these crushes aren’t just stupid little crushes, every rejection is painful and I don’t ever want to experience these pains again.

In middle school I had a crush on this guy because he was a very fun and funny person and a genuinely nice guy despite being one of the noisiest one's in the classroom, but I like him due to the fact that he always encourages me to do better even if I have insecurities in my artworks. Also a lot of girls in my batch has a crush on him due to his personality, but the guy is oblivious. So because of the fact that my feelings for him was so very big and I have been crushing on him ever since the start of my middle school year, I decided to confess to him at the end of my middle school year. But because of the fact that middle school me was a wreck and was a shy little shit, I decided to ask my friend if she can do it instead as a favor. She said yes because I actually did something for her that she said she will pay me back with anything. So my friend basically texted him saying "So hey this girl has been crushing on you since the start of middle school." And he replied with a "Holy HAHAHAHA" and then he texted "Really" And my friend said yes, and told him its okay if he doesn't like me back but told him not to tell to anyone. And he said yes with "HAHAHA" after that. That was based on the screenshots that my friend sended to me but based on that he didn't reply after the HAHAHA, so it wasn't clear for me if he rejected me or not. But after that whole fiasco, he didn't talk to me so I took that as a rejection from him. But thats fine cause he was just a crush. But then the story is not yet done oh no no no, after a few days one of his friends came up to me and told to my face while I was eating "So I heard from [Censored] that you like him, is that true?" And me who literally time frozed after hearing that inhaled and self thinked to my myself "I thought a yes of not saying to anyone, was a freaking yes!?" And because I was panicking on the inside I replied with a simple "No" And then my crush tried to usher his friend to sit back and eat with him, and based on it he doesn't seem to be laughing he was more so a little worried. After that the pain in the butt that is quarantined happened and I graduated middle school online, and because of savings my parents decided to transfer me to a more cheap private school. And we didn't talk to each other again, but I planned to go back next year. Even so I'm still a little confused looking back at this story.

I got a question for the people of Reddit, I’m fairly young (9th grade) and haven’t been in very much of a relationship so I’m not used to body language signals or anything of that nature. Recently I’ve been interested in somebody in my class that’s shy and I’m not sure if I should talk to her as I’m not very confident in myself and am also a pretty shy guy. Her body language is kind of mixed and i’m not sure if it’s directed towards me. 1. She’ll blatantly look in my direction when somebody is talking next to me almost as an excuse to look at me (we sit side to side so when she looks at the person next to me talking she looks directly at me). 2. Wouldn’t dare have eye contact with me when she sees me or will look down at the ground when i’m passing by her. 3. preens and grooms her hair on the side i’m sitting on and will commonly adjust her posture and fix her clothes. 4. touches the front of her neck or the side of her neck that i’m facing. 5. Will have her feet pointing towards me but as soon as i lean back in the chair she will quickly adjust them to facing the other way. 6. Always seems to try to be in front of my peripheral vision or if i’m leaning forward she’ll lay her head down as if he wants me to see her. Honestly don’t think these things mean anything or they’re not directed toward me because she seems like she purposely tries to be distant by turning her body away from me or if she’s giving me a paper she won’t hand it to me but kind of nonchalantly scoots it to me as if she could care less lol. I don’t know if she wants me to talk to her and I don’t want it to be awkward as we sit next to each other so should I? Thanks y’all!

We were on the phone and I was giving obvious hints(about taking her out on a date). She picked up on it and I didn't understand what she said so I asked her to explain. She said she was trying to play dumb and explained that it wasn't weird or awkward and that she knew it was serious and was okay with it. So is this a good thing? I've never got this far before Do I ask her out officially now?

I’m really nervous lol. We text a lot but I’m scared we don’t have much to talk about in person. I’m not talkative unless I talk to my closer friends tho. How do I avoid awkward silence? What should I do if we run out of topics to talk about?

Okay so me and my crush have been talking for like half a year or so 🗿 we just talk abt anime, art and all so we don't talk abt ourselves in a way but also do it(confusing ik) soo i decided to break the anime chain i straight up ask him like does he know my name as a joke and he's like 😃😃😃 and im like “ohh come onnn” and he started referencing my name ( it's a refrence between me and my friends only so he probably heard it ) and then my friend joins us and is like “bro uu frr??” and my friend started giving him hints and all.. and my crush goes like ”yeah i heard you're convo or smth abt that” and idk if it's fr but he goes with the story of how his bestfriend was in his class for 2yrs but he didn't knew his name and all and then goes like it takes me 6 months to memorize a name 😭 And then the next day he started using my name and im like “but you told it took you months to memorize a name And he's like 🧐🧐🧐 did i??

Ok so I started liking this guy, we had been friends before this for the past year or two and we had liked each other before at different times. Anyways around like end of October, when we had hoco, he went with somebody and I went with somebody and it just made me feel like wait what am I doing here wasting time with somebody I don’t really like and I think it also made me jealous(which isn’t good). So yeah and since then the crush was just getting worse and worse and I don’t usually get real crushes like this and so I was freaking out a little. And we had been talking everybody knew it, and I made it clear I liked him. There was no way he didn’t know. We were close too. And then last Monday he shows up to school with a girlfriend he met at a football game that Friday. Bruh. I swear to god he might as well have stepped me me. I feel so stupid, like I was just a side piece. And now I can’t stop crying over him. I literally had the worst Monday this week and I kept crying in school(in my defense I was sore from skiing, on my period, sad abt this guy, feeling sick, had 2 hours of sleep, and was freaking out about a massive test) but anyways, yeah I just couldn’t stop crying(and if I cry it’s when I’m alone lol). I feel so hurt. Like I was just the water ppl get for free at restaurants before getting a drink, like wtf. And of course my stupid ass still can’t get over him after being used. (Also if he reads this in totally fucked cuz this was pretty specific) so yeah now all I do is listen to my heartbreak playlist and pretend to be ok when we hang out even tho I wanna cry(like every weekend as friends)

Hi guys, its my first time on this sub, and my first time having a crush after a LOOONG and toxic relationship. Unfortunately, this crush also happens to be a close friend, about whom i know everything about. We're pretty similar in our views thoughts and vibe to everything together. Our whole lives are almost the same lol. The problem is, idk if she likes me, because we've been friends for so long, I'm in a trap tbh. we've started talking everyday, we send each other reels and shit but the problem is.. many people have asked her, to date me. People ship us together, heck, we spend so much time together it almost feels like we're dating but when asked to date me, she says "hes a bestie or hes like a bro". Now i understand that i should probably back off, but sometimes i catch her glancing at me. And i know she isnt dumb, she probably knows that i have a crush on her, if she didnt like me, she wouldnt entertain me right? (please correct me if im wrong). But she wouldnt tell it to anyone, not even her best friends. SHe doesnt share much of her personal life to people. So the main point - Do I or do i not pursue this, because im scared if i make a move she might just push me away, even asa friend , which i dont want. The feelings arent ALOT compared to last time, mostly because it was a bad breakup which caused me to rethink alot. ​ So Reddit, what do i do?

>English is not my mother-language. Pardon my mistake, do not translate my post. So, I (M16) went to a field trip my school organized that includes, of course, my crush (F17). In my school, I'm known as someone with big influence, talented, and has a clean appearance. I have 3 people (including my crush) who crushes on me (I'm told by their teachers). Long story short, before it is time to go back home i needed to go to the restroom. Here where things start to stumble. The restroom has a big poop stuck in the toilet. So big that it is probably not mine. I tried to flush it with many methods with no avail. So i gave up. BUT, immediately after I left the public restroom, she went into the same stall. We passed by. She must've seen me get out of that same stall. I ran to my bus as fast as I could and went to my seat. However, I saw her face when she went to her bus like this: -\_\_- (with both eyes normally opened tho) I'M KNOWN AS A CLEAN GUY, SHE PROBABLY TELL HER FRIENDS ABOUT THE PREVIOUS EVENT AND DON'T LIKE ME ANYMORE. (sorry caps) What should you do when you're in my position? I've been thinking about this 'till now. Now I live my life thinking like I already lost her. I don't want to lose her. Uh, this is embarrassing and disgusting.

This is driving me so crazy I can’t even describe it. It is literally hijacking my mind. Basically I used to sit next to a cute girl when I was in my sophomore year of high school. We have a lot of similar interests and the same sense of humor. Similar temperaments too. Anyways I had a small crush on this girl when I used to sit next to her, even though at that time in my life I would have never made a move. I started to catch little things throughout the year like her demeanor would change once I would get to class and she was always paying close attention to everything I did. Once towards the end of the last semester I caught her staring at me from across the room and I just decided to stare back and we both started smiling. Later that day I saw her sitting with her friend and pointing in my direction whilst talking to each other and getting all giggly. (Reading this now I realize I might have spent too much time in the specifics here but whatever) So looking back now it’s pretty clear to me that she probably liked me, but my younger insecure ass thought “ya she’s way too hot for me.” Flash forward to now I’ve graduated high school and had a more active dating life, gotten over my insecurities. But one day the memory of this girl has just come hurdling back into my mind and WILL. NOT. LEAVE. I kid you not I rarely stop thinking about her. I HAVE DREAMS ABOUT HER PROBABLY LIKE 3-4 TIMES A WEEK. It has been like 4 months since this issue started. I barely even have an interest in talking to other girls because she is always on my mind. Not only that, it’s honestly made me pretty depressed because I know there’s a high chance I’ll never see her again. Please I need advice getting her off my brain. It might sound like I’m exaggerating but if anything I’m under exaggerating. If you have any advice, please, I need it. 😭😭😭

Planning on confessing to her this weekend

So In my English class yesterday, one of my friends accidentally mentioned my crush to my other friend and then (because they're friends) told the person who I hate and who hates me. He said he was going to tell her so at the end of the day I went up to her in the hallway and told her my feelings. She didn't say anything but she looked shocked and a little bit happy but covered her mouth with her hands and we went our separate ways for the day. I'm going to bring it up today and see if she feels the same. The person that started this (the friend in English) thinks she likes me back (cus of her reaction) and another friend who I told about my crush thinks she might too. So what do you think. I'm setting off not long after I post this so I'll make a follow-up post about what happens.

I (M 20) started having a crush on a guy from work, it started as soon as I first saw him, call it love at first sight, but i didn’t think of it as much, until he started checking me out, and flirt with me I don’t know if he was being friendly with me or not but that’s until I realized that he and I had a moment together, when reaching for an item both at the same time our hands touched and there was a pause, which felt like a long time. He looked at me and I looked away because I got nervous so what should I do?

so basically i have known/hung out with this guy during the summer in group settings but didn’t like him at the time. although we saw each other quite a bit , i barely spoke to him and we were mostly just mutuals. however, this fall i started to develop a crush on him. he’s pretty shy and i’m the opposite so i began to talk to him more and we’ve gotten on friendly terms. since i’ve liked him, i known that he was a talking to someone and they are kind of a “thing” but definitely not official. i don’t really like her because she talked shit abt me but i’m friendly with her because we’re on the same team so it’s easier that way and she thinks we are friends. most of the times we’ve talked its been him initiating the conversation which my other friends who know him say is definitely a sign he’s comfortable with me because he’s so shy and when we talk we are a lot more playful than when him and the other girl do. i don’t know. i guess i’m posting this because i wanna see what advice anyone has or if they’ve been in a similar position.

The title says it all. I don’t know what to do. I’ve been crushing over her for a while but I know she has to leave after the school year ends. One of my more distant friends is her host and I wanted to at least get to know her more by hanging out with them. What should I do? I don’t know if a relationship is possible since she has to leave.

I (15F) met a boy (18M) at school, we don’t technically have a class together but he sits in on my theatre class a lot because he’s in a different department of theatre and doesn’t have a lot to do. we started talking a few weeks ago just in class and then he got my snap and we started texting, i think i liked him first probably. i really enjoy the talking stage and i couldn’t tell if he liked me so i wasn’t making it super obvious that i was trying to flirt with him. after we started texting he pretty much stopped talking to me in person but i chalked it up to him being an anti social person. he told me he liked me but he didn’t want a relationship he just wanted to “fuck around” and i told him that i like him but i want to talk a little more before we do anything. he said ok and i’ve been waiting and making excuses to not do anything with him because i know he’ll completely stop talking to me once i give him what he wants from me, but i really really like him. he asks for nudes and i send them, and i pretty much say or do whatever he wants me to as long as it’s not physical. he says he can wait for me, and i know he only likes me for my body even though he denied that. i don’t even really like having sex with guys but i know i’m gonna have to cave or he’ll ghost me and i’m not looking forward to losing him. he’s a total dick and a piece of shit to one of my friends but i just like him and i don’t know why.

(I HOPE THE FLAIR APPLIES TO THIS BUT I FEEL LIKE OVERALL I ASK QUESTIONS A LOT HERE BUT I CAN CHANGE IT IF NEED BE) I have a goddamned crush now, and it took time to figure out given I'd never really felt like that before and things didn't match up entirely with what preconceptions I had, e.g. butterflies in my stomach were closer to feeling a bit sick. I'm just gonna kinda, talk about her a bit before I get into the main bit. Maybe it's helpful information but I just like how this feels almost like a private haven for speaking about her like this... I really fucking like her, I don't know her like, good friends well but I know her decently and we've talked sometimes which was really nice but I have trouble maintaining eye contact or so much as looking at her face when we talk which is really annoying because she's soo pretty. As I mentioned before, I feel really strange talking to her, like butterflies being more like feeling a bit sick but that could have been exams. Good idea to mention! It's exam time and exams are barely on my mind and I think I'm doing okay despite never really studying too much because I haven't had time and she's been on my mind more than exams. I don't know how to go into more detail there because like, I'm just thinking about her. Fucking daydreaming like I'm some whimsical fuckin Disney character... On another note, when we're not talking I like looking at her which might sound bad but like, you know. And then because you can sense when someones looking at you she would sometimes turn around even though it's from a distance and not up close and then we'd have like eye contact for like a second before I notice and look away embarrassed but then I look back and the cycle perpetuates and it sounds super creepy but when she looks back at me I really like. The illness stomach butterfly feelings are there and like I get shy but it feels nice. Also when we were talking on the bus the other day I began by sitting on a seat simply near her close enough for a conversation but she invited me to sit right next to her Now, I have a problem. I'm a trans girl. Pre-anything but that doesn't matter because it's just the identity more than any other factors. At my school I've done my best to cover up this fact, not so much to avoid transphobia as much as I just want to be a girl, not THE trans girl. If people ask, I claim I was born a girl. I don't know how many people believe this blatant lie, but the people I interact with most probably believe me (I know there's a few) or just probably don't care. But, assuming my crush believes my lie, that leaves a problem. I need to let her know I'm trans, because I don't want to keep things secret like that. Another problem of note actually, is I don't actually know her sexuality. She's in the schools LGBT group, and based on things she's said, she might be gay or bisexual. Anyway, morally I will want and need to let her know I'm trans if and when I start trying to make actual moves. But first I need to find out her sexuality. But also I want to get to know her better (though we don't have trouble holding a short conversation because we were talking about generic topics like movies and stuff and it was super nice) but also I'm worried that if I get to know her way more first which, I don't know if it's necessary, and if it gets to a point where I tell her I like her and she like, rejects me or whatever the equivalent would be for simply just confessing, I'd feel probably very down in the dumps but I suppose that depends on what she says or does but either way it'd be weird after that if that happens. When it comes to letting her know I'm trans, I'm not sure if I should just message her on instagram about it or if I should hope I'll see her again this year and let it come up in casual conversation. Which either way is scary because what if she tells everyone even though theres no reason she would and she;s really nice :)) When it comes to telling her I like her I'd probably do it over Instagram so I can escape into offline if I panic and need to bail. But it's everything else thats just taking over my mind. Like, how the fuck do I ask someone their sexuality without it being incredibly obvious I'm into them? So, like, what do? If anybody has any advice, that'd be poggers and all I ask for because I could probably plan from there myself? Like, this feels very pushy of me to ask but if you have any other advice that'd be nice maybe???? TLDR: I have a crush on a girl, I'm a trans girl, I need to let her know but I don't know how to go about it. That, and I want to ask her what her sexuality is... among other problems theres so much going on here like proofreading this was more confusing than Metal Gear Solid lore so sorry in advance I'm on an alt just because my brother knows my Reddit and it's embarrassing so if theres a comment that warrants a reply it might take a hot minute. So if you need me to clear confusions anywhere... It might take a while. But because of the nature of this I'll probably be checking this post almost religiously anyway

Today was the last day I will be able to see him, J, as it was our last day of our one class that we shared. I was planning to ask him for his Insta/socials to keep in contact with him as we are in completely different majors and will probably never see each other again. However, today I was to scared to ask him and so when the class ended I just waved at him for the last time😭😭. I do somewhat regret not being brave enough to ask him as we could have became friends instead of acquaintances, but moving on should be easy I suppose since I won't be able to see him again. I even wore a really cute outfit that I really liked, did my hair and makeup to try and feel more confident, but in the end I still chickened out 😓😭. Just to be able to move on, I'll write a note to J. TL;DR my confession to J. \- Hey! I know we haven't known each other for a long time, but the time I spent with you working on the group assignments and laughing with you over stupid things really made my Wednesdays' more special and you really made me happy and enjoy my time in class even though the assignments were boring. The day you walked in and introduced yourself to the group I had already known that I would fall for you sooner or later and my instincts were right; I was smitten almost immediately. I liked a lot about you, from the way you smiled with your pretty eyes, your laughter and soft voice were a melody to my ears, your incredible fashion sense, the way you always wore an earring on your left ear and how intelligent you are. I like you a lot, more than I thought I would, considering I only known you for a few months. But that's all going to change because today was our last class together and because I was a coward and couldn't be confident enough to ask for a way to keep in touch; so I'm going to move on. Even though you probably (*hopefully*) aren't reading this, I wanted too let you know, I like you, I really like you a lot. To be honest and let you in on a secret, when ever I had class with you I always made sure to do my hair and wear a cute outfit to look good for you, although I doubt you even noticed. I do hope that somehow, the universe brings us together and we somehow have a class together again next semester. Also if we see each other in the hallways, don't pretend that you don't know me and say hi!! I can already tell that it would make me day. I know I said it already several times, but I wanted to end this note to you in what I like is the best way for me to accept my feelings for you and to begin to move on from you. **I like you J.**

i see my hallway crush almost all the time in the halls, we have no classes but i plan on mustering up the courage to talk to him. apparently he’s quiet but i heard he’s a nice guy. he stares at me and my friends a lot. me and my friend are planning to “interview him for a project” about high school relationships then eventually i get his social media. my friend is a pessimistic person and has low expectations and thinks he might say no to the interview. but if he says no i’ll just move on and stop thinking about him. wish me luck. feel free to comment.

I was wondering if I should stop trying to pursue/ get a reaction out of someone who knows I’m interested in her. At first, we pretty much got along instantly. We would talk every day at school, in group chats, and sometimes personal dms. She didn’t want to go to homecoming so instead I asked her on a date. She said she’d be down for it when she has time but it’s been a month. I called her one time but she’s been ignoring all my advances despite always having a smile on her face. This started to make me distance my self a bit but we still talk. Finally, I’m wondering if I should hope that she’ll eventually become more clear or if should just give up and be friends because she doesn’t see me beyond that.
Crushes
I've been crushing on a girl I know very little about, however I'm pretty close with her friends so it gives me a little wiggle room when approaching and makes it harder to come off as too akward right away. My strategy so far was to remember little details her friends tell me so can come up with a joke or something when I approach them, since they are usually in a group. My problem is after the introduction it feels like the pressure is immediately put on the girls to come up with a response back. And even worse just me being there means they have to stop what they were already talking about, so theres pressure on trying to find a new topic, which often results in an akward silence before I akwardly stumble away. How should I move them into a conversation after my initial introduction?
Crushes
Long story but basically she was tryna figure out my middle name and found out my address in the process, then she jokingly said "if you don't tell me I'm gonna tell [name of my old crush] what your address is." She also name-dropped a few other people but it still kinda sucks to think that she might think that
Crushes
(M18) Been talking with this girl and recently I've noticed the more we meet the more nervous she is around me. She acts shy and stumbles when she talks. Is she more into me, or am I intimidating her? Given shes always been shy though. I almost always have to go out of my way to talk to her. I know this probably very little to go off of...
Crushes
For background, I've known this guy for over a year at this point. We're taking the same language course in college, so I see him basically everyday. Last semester, I was kind of a mess so I was trying to focus on myself, but I felt like he was flirting with me and would stare at me during class. However, I didn't act on any feelings because I honestly was figuring some shit out. He's such a kind human being, and I really do like him though. This semester, I felt like we're the same in terms of teasing each other and flirting, and I finally feel like I'm in the place to ask him out. However, last week I feel like something changed. We usually walk out of class together, but all of a sudden, he always has to do something after. I usually try to walk with him to places like the bus stop, but now I'm afraid I'm imposing on him and he doesn't really want me around. I was planning on asking him if he wanted to hang out one on one (this would be a shift in the dynamic because I'm in a friend group with him), but now I'm worried he's trying to avoid me. I'm going to try and talk to him tomorrow, but now I'm feeling like he's not interested in me like that. Overall, I guess I want to know if I'm overreacting, and whether or not I should still go for it. My worst fear is that he's in a relationship and hasn't told me, but I really do like him.
Crushes
I’m still not sure but honestly we are very different and I don’t think I would like a relationship with him the best we would get is best friends prolly but I don’t think I like him as much as I did. The more I know about him the more I see how we are so different. He’s just a little to quite around me. I think I’m just a bit to introverted for him too lmao. We are polar opposites and that’s ok.

I named the list: She loves you, you idiot. It has everything she’s done to make me feel loved, I am so grateful to this girl- 1. Texted you late into the night when she was tired and told you that she loved you and that you were an amazing boyfriend 2. Says I love you more 3. Always tries to get the last goodnight message 4. Said, “Drive home safe” :) 5. Still managed to find time to talk to you even with everything going on in her life 6. Reminds you every so often that she loves you 7. She got sad when the plushie you gave her started losing your scent 8. She missed you when you went to Las Vegas and when you came back gave you a big hug and showed you lots of attention 9. Stayed on call with you when you were crying even though it was her birthday 10. Clasps her hands together because she misses the feeling of holding your hands 11. Remembered your birthday

I’ve been crushing on this girl I’ve met a few years back, and she showed a-lot of good signs that she liked me last year, but this year she never takes time to have a conversation, and seems to talk to anyone but me. What happened? What should I do next? (I still like her a-lot)

so basically i like this guy, lets call him S, hes super nice and cute but he didnt even know i exist until a few weeks ago. So this guy S ive liked him since the third day of school, hes super cute and smart. I sit next to him in science and history and he once asked my friend what my name was and my heart broke, ive had a crush on him for months and he didnt even know my name but fast forward a fews days, y friend asked him to rate me and HE GAVE ME A FREAKING SIX. i was so sad and i think he likes my friend but hopefully he likes me back...

I mentioned in my previous post I have a massive crush on this girl in my school. I didn’t mention that we run track together and that’s mostly how we are friends. Almost all of the interactions I’ve had with her have been in real life but should I try like snapping her more? I have her Snapchat and all that but I’ve never wanted to look to desperate. I also find something about relationships that involve more real life interaction to be much better. What do you guys think should I try and reach out more?
Crushes
how can I let go of someone with so many red flags, it’s hard because I have to see them every day and work with them so I can’t escape them? all I ever felt ever since I started having feelings for them was just hurt and disappointment but my stupid heart won’t stop!!

So that just might prevent me from ever confessing to a crush again. I might never tell this current one in the 2.5 years I have to tell her. Cheers.

I don’t know man, still seems too good to be true. I think I’m moving back to that area next year anyway, so that should be interesting. Of course, I am still in love with her, and I too am bored of my new school. Ugauagauah she drives me craaazyyyyyy man I can’t wait for next year

She has a boyfriend, I've known this, but I feel like she knows he's not the one and wants a way out, I feel like she likes me as well (she knows I like her) Her home life isn't the best, I'm worried for her, if I could I'd have her live with me in a heartbeat, I can imagine myself and her just laying in my bed watching movies while I hold her in my arms and kiss her little forehead I wanna hold her until she falls asleep in my arms I wanna rub her tummy if she doesn't feel good It's an indescribable feeling that I have for this girl, like I want to give her anything and everything, I want to give her my last name and heart, I want her to come before me

I've had a crush on him since I was 16. I told him last year that I like him (but only through chat) but he didn't reciprocate the feelings. He reacts to my social media posts but rarely. Recently I deleted my old FB account because of personal reasons and added him on my new account..in which he accepted my friend request. We also follow each other on Instagram, even after I told him I like him, he did not make this move of unfollowing or unfriending me. Then I also followed him on Tiktok recently, in which he also followed me back. We also followed each other on Twitter though he had to delete his account out of political reasons. We also like the same nerdy stuff like movies, books, and video games. I've been really thinking about it for some time. I've been thinking that maybe I'm interesting enough to be kept as his friend in social media, but not someone worth being in a relationship/friendship with. Surely if I'm nothing to him he wouldn't bother with me at all. He can just ignore me completely. Or maybe he's really just a nice guy? I liked him because I admire his intelligence and sometimes corny type of humor. What's your opinion on this guys? Am I just thinking too much about it? Or somehow he thinks I'm interesting? He's currently single and we're the same age, but it's really fine with me that I won't have a chance of a relationship with him. And I've also accepted that there are crushes that will never be in a relationship with us.ever.

This is going to be a mess but like bare with me. We’ve never talked but when my teacher mentioned partnering up we immediately looked at each other, I’ll notice him looking at me and I’ll turn to look at him and he looks away quickly and so obviously. I noticed him looking and smiling at me in the cafe. I looked up at him and we made eye contact and he looked away smiled a little (this made me soooo happy lol) I’ve also realized that at the end of class he packs up super fast so he can stand close to me while we wait to be dismissed. I literally cannot tell if he likes me or not my friends thinks he does but idk. I want to confess by giving him a paper heart that has a note inside asking him if he wants to hangout sometime.
Crushes
I started "avoiding" (which means not talking to him first) my crush and part of me expected for him reach out to me but of course he didn't, of course I was the only clinging to any second of attention he gave me and now he somehow became a "hot guy" or whatever so girls flirt with him and I have to watch him get all touchy-feely with them all day and I I can't even beginning to elaborate how I feel about it I feel so jealous, but also so repulsed, I hate everything about me. I thought he could actually have liked me, I feel lied to even though he never promised me anything. it's like I've been used, I was just a tool for his ego, it could've been any other girl. and still, I like him so much, it's insane how much I like him, but I also hate him so much, I don't want him to look at me or touch me or speak to me even though I crave it all so much. love is so stupid. he treats me BADLY and he's a COMPLETE LOSER compared to me and I still care SO MUCH. but now he doesn't need me around since he has all those hotties batting their eyelashes, being all smiles and touches and giggles during class and of course he's so damn happy now. I feel so inferior, so dirty, so unlovable. why am I never anyone's apple of the eye, why am I always the only one yearning after smoke and mirrors, why am I always a pastime? fuck, I'm pretty, I have a great body, I'm smart, I'm talented, fun, I have so many achievements. what's so inherently terrible and flawed and unfixable about me that I ALWAYS end up with a heartbreak because despite everything I'm never worth anyone's time? why did he never text me...? I'm so tired

So at the beginning of the year, I had a crush on this guy but then I figured out that he had a girlfriend and wanted nothing to do with me. But I just couldn’t lose feelings for him but then I noticed another cute guy but I didn’t think nothing of it (I didn’t like him at all) and one day he was playing ball with his friend and the ball lightly hit my friend sitting right next to me, he came up to us to retrieve the ball and apologize to my friend but he kept looking over at me and then he ask me if I was okay, I swear to god I fell in love with him after that. Even my friend noticed that he kept looking at me and was teasing me, I acted like it was nothing because that’s what I always do (i hate myself). But I gradually started to really fall for him and now I don’t like the other guy at all. I tried to fight my feelings and rationalize it because in reality that was nothing but It made feel like I just got married. That was currently almost a month ago and I now I’ve fully accepted that I like and this week I wanted to ask for his number which I’ve never done before. I’ve actually tried this whole week and it just seems like I’m missing every opportunity and it’s stressing me tf out since I’m a girl and I’ve never done this. He’s the most I’ve been passionate and I feel like I need him and it’s screwing with me, I’m just so scared to get rejected but also I’m gonna do it as soon as I get my chance.

Hello! I’m a male (not specifying age) and I wanted to get some advice. In two days my school goes on thanksgiving break. I want to give my phone number to my crush (a woman) before that time so that I can talk with her and probably ask her out. We’ve been friends for about three weeks (but my crush on her for about five weeks now), and I’m friends with her friends. Anyways, I was thinking of giving her a letter on Friday (the day before the break) with my number and telling her she could do whatever with it, and that I’d be fine either way (but happier if she puts the number in her phone). I would like some advice on how to give her my phone number (and when too, if you can) without making it too awkward (Or without damaging the friendship we have now). Thanks for any future help! :P

I have one major crush on a guy who doesn’t rlly give me attention (we aren’t friends) but today I literally had a two second conversation with a different guy and I have feelings for him now. I wouldn’t really call them feelings or a crush but attracted ig. Imma call him M to make this easier to read. So M and I had 1st period together last year and since our last names end with the same letter he sat infront of me. I didn’t rlly talk to him because the class was a very busy class and me and him both did the advanced assignments. He usually watched Netflix on his computer and sometimes I’d look over at his screen and watch a bit of I was bored. Anyway, this year he seems super tired. Like he’s constantly sleeping. He’s in my ap class and two pre aps with me so it’s not him being lazy cuz he’s actually super smart. He just seems so so tired. That’s relevant because I have sixth period with him and today he was half asleep when it was about time to go. I thought he knew and was just tired so didn’t get up straight away but I decided to make sure he knows it’s time to go home. I tapped him and he looked up at me. I just said it was time to go and he quickly got his stuff and said “oh shit, thank you” and left. I just realized today that he’s super pretty. Pretty blue eyes, pretty hair, pretty face. Ik I’ll get over it by tomorrow or next Monday but I just wanted to gush abt him because my main crush doesn’t even acknowledge me much.

Okay so I go to school with this guy & i just started really noticing him.. when I was in my previous relationship with my ex, he would always try to talk to me but I would just say hi and not say much.. eventually my ex cheated on me & I left. My classmate started to get closer to me, he was already friends with one of the girls I’m friends with , at one point I think she may have liked him but he shut her down, fast forward he has done a lot of things like bump into me, always smiling big when he sees me, always wanting to touch me, if I leave for lunch he’ll ask where I am going or follow out the class to see where I’m going, he holds the door, defends me, display to me his type (& it’s literally me 1000%, everything about me) , he’s told me I’m pretty & complimented my body , one day three of us went to eat & he chose to sit next to me, he was willing to share his food with only me, another time our whole class went out to eat & he wanted to sit next to me in car & I ended up having to sit on his lap & he was breathing fast, his body language is open towards me, he’s often looking at me in class, one day we were eating lunch with this lady (me&him) she said “for example let’s say you two were married….” He looked at me & smiled then type my thigh to basically pay attention & he wanted me to sit closer to him.. I really wish I met him first because he’s an awesome guy!

Context: we met in theatre. Ironically, we were doing a musical where he would act as my father and me the daughter (not very ironic, just gross lol) This guy is extremely mysterious to me, and that's probably why I like him. Since we worked together, we had chances to experience each other's personality and preferences. At least, that was what was supposed to happen. Every time I got somewhere with him, he immediately turned away and ran. I would constantly find his eyes meeting mine, but then he'd never confront or speak openly with me. I remember being really jealous whenever he laughed with his friends, wishing he could laugh around me too. It was around that time I realized I thought he was sorta super handsome. I can't read him, no matter what I do. He says one thing, then acts another. One moment he's intimately holding my hand for a scene and not letting go even when the scene ends, then the next he's averting his eyes in the hallway whenever I wave at him. He's kind yet quiet, friendly yet closed-off. And I think it's only with me. He's fine around my friends, openly chatty with his, but with me... it's weird. I've heard everything: he likes you. He doesn't like you. He has a staring problem. etc. etc. So, what do you think, reddit. Please, help a girl out!

TLDR: there’s a really quiet/shy guy in my class and I want to know how to befriend him/show interest without scaring him off. full version here we go ack theres this guy i like in one of my classes but he’s really quiet- doesn’t have friends in the class and seems to just want to be invisible honestly. he’s really good looking though. anyways so he sits at a table with my friends and i and i want to start talking to him. given the fact he’s shy he probably feels intimidated by the rest of our group being my close friends… he doesn’t make eye contact unless we’re speaking which makes him hard to read (and i’m not very good at reading people), i think he’s purposely avoiding looking at me so he might just be uninterested. i’m pretty confident in myself: guys have liked me before and i take care of my appearance. i’m also pretty extroverted so i think i might have a shot. since i’m more extroverted though it’s hard for me to understand what he’s thinking. because of that i feel unsure as how to befriend him or show interest without coming off too strong so any advice is appreciated👍

So first period I (16m) am in the same room as a crush of mine (15f) (not the same class, just the same room, kinda of library-esque type room). She’s in the grade below mine and I’ve never spoken a word to her in my life. She definitely knows I exist we sit across from eachother every day, but like *across*, like 10 feet or so. But there is nothing in between us. Its hard to explain. I really want to talk to her super bad but I can’t think of any way to do it that would make it not awkward. Thanks for the help! If you read this please anything will help.

(Can I call her my friend? Maybe. I mean I guess, cuz she called me a friend. And she repeatedly said she was glad I existed and worked with her and felt comfortable enough to talk to her. Idk, guess I can't safely assume those were all lies. Maybe we're friends) Anyways, yeah, there's at least one step in the right direction that I didn't puss out on. I guess I'm happy with that. Not satisfied, but happy. As for what we talked about, I just basically told her that I liked my crush and that I'm thinking of asking her to go to an art museum with me, and asked if she thought that was creepy or weird or inappropriate or something. Basically, I was using her as social intuition that I don't have. She pretty much said it's not creepy, and that it's not a bad idea. She may have said its a good idea, but I can't recall (my memory tends to get spotty when I'm anxious). Which I guess I've heard both from random strangers on reddit, and from my sister. But I guess I needed to hear it from someone who somewhat knows me and knows my crush even better, to be able to believe their opinion is really informed. Honestly, I still don't know if I can do this. Just talking about liking someone is insanely nerve wracking, I don't know how I'd manage talking about that to the very person I like (I almost started crying towards the end of the conversation) . And what's more, I have no idea how to start such a conversation. I still don't have the requisite charisma to get her alone without being creepy, or at the very least completely and utterly blunt and ineloquent. I still don't know if I'm supposed to say this at work, or if that would be weird (guess that would've been a good question for my friend, if I had had my wits about me) But I do still want to try. And I feel I can be reasonably assured now that it isn't creepy. So all that remains is for me to keep my courage for a while longer, and to recognize an opportunity when it presents itself. Cuz I guess that's what I gotta do. I want to do this right now, I don't want to wait even a single day because I'm terrified that she'll find somebody before I get the chance to ask. But I can't get her alone, so I'll just have to wait until a favorable wind blows. Either that, or pester my friend once more for advice on how to actually do the damn thing

I don't know this guy super well, so... If I ask him out for coffee someday, does this give casual asking someone out vibes? This may be my way of asking him out because I'm super nervous.

Buckle in folks because this is gonna be a wall of text. Also sorry if this isn't allowed to be posted here. My Reddiquite could use some work. So there's this girl I like at work. At first we were just good friends but overtime I started to care for her more than that. I think I really knew I had a crush when she missed work for a few days because off surgery and I became quite concerned for her. When she came back I got her a rose and a nice vase and she seemed so thrilled to get it, she was even showing it off to other coworkers, so I decided to ask her to the movies which was fun so I asked her if she wanted to come to my place at another day to watch another film in the series, she said no. Later she asked me if I thought that was a date and she told me she had been wanting to ask but found it hard to say, she told me she was pretty sure she was aromantic as well. If that was all then it would be the end of things, it would sting but that would be that. But things have gotten more complex, not long after I went on my vacation out of town and while I was gone she texted me. She is 110% not the kind of person to normally send the first text. We had a good back and forth for a bit and when I got back things went back to being fun between us again. Then one day she had a REALLY bad experience with a customer. Like bad enough she had to go to the back for a minute and I think she was crying. It broke my heart, especially considering what she was accused of was completely untrue. So I offered to take her to the movies, thinking a night out might make her feel better. To my surprise instead she wanted to come to my house to watch the movie I recommended earlier. I got her favorite and snacks and cleaning my place like I was an army barracks and the drill sargeant had a bad day. We had fun too, she got along really well with my cats and since we weren't in a theatre we could be as loud and jokey as we wanted. It was great. She told about a game series she loved so I got it and played both single player campaigns so we could do the co-op later. She was even receptive to seeing another movie. She told me about her favorite zippo lighter dying out way too fast so I got her a custom replacement that I'm sure she'll really appreciate. However this is where it gets to be a conundrum. I'm on my second week of vacay now and not long before I left we were having a discussion and she explained to me I was confusing being asexual with being aroace but she added that she might be but was really unsure and was having a hard time figuring it out. Sounding way less confident than the last time she told me. This is where I need some advice. I want to be her friend but also more at the same time. I'm wondering if we keep hanging out and it doesn't go anywhere can we still be friends? If I think she may feel differently now than earlier can I ask about it? How would I go about that? I'm one of only two friends she has and she's pretty young so am I doing something wrong here? I know can't help how I feel and repression doesn't work, believe I've tried it with other people before. I just know that the thought of causing her any kind of pain makes me die a little inside. I guess the big question I have is, am I just the worst person for feeling like this?

For the past three months, since the start of the semester (I'm a sophomore in high school), I've been crushing really bad on this one science teacher I have. My last lesson is with him and he isn't some kind of phenomenal brad-pitt level attractive. Nor does he have the high cheekbones sharp jawline look. He isn't conventionally attractive but to me he is. He sort of does have a receding hairline but that's cute to me. He's cute. Really cute. He might even have a dimple under that short beard somewhere. Whenever a student makes a joke for some reason I always look if he laughed at it. I find him really really nice. I sorta started swooning after him a few weeks into the semester. He makes my heart melt. I have had horrible male figures my whole life and I recently moved from an all girls school (all teachers were female) so I feel some sort of weird attraction to any healthy male teacher figure. HE DID THIS ONE THING THAT MADE ME SO FLUSTERED TODAYYYY I STILL THINK ABOUT IT AND NO REAL LIFE CRUSH HAS GIVEN ME SUCH A DOPAMINE RUSH BEFORE. (To clarify: he's married and his wife is expecting a baby. He is in no way a pedophile or something. I feel guilty of my crush so I in no way plan on acting on it or speaking of it so I'm just here ranting on reddit.) I arrived late in class because I had a doctor's appointment. I'm on my desk trying to figure out what we are trying to do. He comes up to me and just crouches in front of the desk (ummm idk how to explain it but he had his arms folded on the desk and he was sorta in a crouching position and his head was leaning on his arms) He asks me how I've been cuz I came late and if I need any help with the classwork (typical teacher stuff Ik) and I explain why I was late. The lab was about using a Bunsen Burner and I didn't know how to use one. He asks me "Do you want to practice lighting up a Bunsen burner" and my social anxiety kicks in and I thought it was an option and not something I HAVEEE to do and I didn't want to be a bother especially to HIM so I went like "No no need I'm good." Then he went silent and he still didn't move an inch from the crouching position in front of my desk and he smiles. HE SMILES. HE SMILES THE SWEETEST SMILE I HAVE EVER SEEN SOMEONE SMILE. MY HEART BURST THAT SECOND. AWHHHHHHH I FELT LIKE I'M FLOATING IN THE CLOUDS I GOT SO FLUSTERED IT WAS LIKE I OVERDOSED ON ECSTACY OR SOMETHING. I DONT KNOW WHAT SMILE WAS FAR BUT IT WAS JUST INCHES AWAY FROM ME. And then I get confused and ask him "Do I have to do it???" and he goes like "Do you want to do it???" and I'm like "I dunnooo???" cuz at that point I was super confused and even more flustered because he looked mad cute in that pose. I felt like he was expecting me to say "yes I need to practice this." so after those few awkward seconds I go like "sure sure I'll practice it." Like imagine a grown man tiling his head and smiling back at you. I promise he didn't mean it as a creep he treats everyone like this he thinks of all us as lil teens so he smiles at us in that "woah kids these days..." kinda way. He goes like "great! come tomorrow and I'll help you turn on the bunsen burner!" and gets up and goes to the other students. BUT HOW MY HEARTBEAT SPED UP IN THAT MOMENT. OOFFFFF. Here are some other things that power up my crush on him 1) Whenever he has to say something to a student he crouches down near them (the student is sitting) so he can speak to them at eye-level and in the most gentlest voice asks them if they need help with anything. 2) He pays close attention to everyone and even complimented my marvel hoodie. He jokes around with everyone and gives candy out in the class nearly every other day. He's just so incredibly caring and nice. 3) He doesn't give out late penalties. He doesn't get mad at me if I arrive in his class a few minutes late. Instead whoever comes him he always says their name specifically and greets them (for example, "Hi Katie!! What's up with the new hair color today?"...Hi Julia! Hi Amanda!) 4) He laughs out our childish jokes and loves discussing small things with us as a class about whether pickles are good or not or how he hates lasagna and how his wife hates that he hates lasagna. He'd tell us stories about what he's going to do for the weekend and if he's going to a concert or going to meet his brother all the way in North Dakota on a road trip with his friends. 5) He is fun-loving. He isn't the kind of strict stubborn pain-in-the-ass kinda teacher. Once I joked about not knowing how to drink from a water fountain (I really didnt know) and in the middle of the lesson this other girl suggested that she take me to the water fountain to teach me how to drink from it in a few minutes. Although that was pretty crazy and not science related at all, he was like "yeah sure i'd love to see how that goes lol! awesome" 6) I get the feeling that I'm liked and welcomed in his classroom (as a student) Whenever I do something like accidentally playing weird music in class or do something other teachers would call "disruptive", he's kind enough to always excuse me for that so we both have a good laugh about it. He laughs at my jokes which I appreciate a lot. 7) He plays taylor swift in class and we have a lot of similar interests!! He in fact also knows about mbti types and is always a super chatty,outgoing, social and friendly teacher. ​ I know why I'm sorta attracted to him. My whole life this is the first time I ever had a positive male role model in my life so I sorta idealize the small things he does also cuz I have BPD so I do tend to idealize people. I have an abusive father and horrible misogynistic men in my family background.

so i reunited with my crush from high school. the story is a bit complicated but i’ll try to keep it simple as possible. so let’s refer to the crush i reunited with as Crush A. he wasn’t the only guy i had a crush on but for this story there was another crush involved which is Crush B who was my main crush in high school. i had a crush on Crush B ever since the beginning of high school. i didn’t know or ever talk to the guy but i was really drawn to how he portrayed himself as he was really smart and outgoing. in my second year of high school, i didn’t want to keep waiting for Crush B to approach me, so i decided to “shoot my shot.” i sent him a holiday card and told him how i admired him but was always super shy to approach him, but i would love to be his friend. i know it’s not really a proper confession but i wanted him to know i was interested and take things slow and get to know each other. but Crush B ended up ghosting me and ever since then we never spoke again. after this incident, i noticed that Crush A kept looking my way and observing me. at first i thought it was just because he heard from Crush B what happened but this continued even after a few months after the incident with Crush A. i’m also a very observant person so i started observing Crush A and started to notice how he was really cute, funny, and friendly towards everyone. i eventually realized i was starting to have a crush on him but i didn’t realize my feelings until literally the day before we went into lockdown. after that my feelings for him started to fade away, but in senior year we ended up having a class together. at the beginning of senior year, i didn’t really pay attention to Crush A because i thought i was over him. but soon Crush A would approach me randomly and would compliment or ask me questions about my artwork. this lasted for a month or two and i started developing feelings again. this time i had planned to take initiative and wanted to talk to Crush A more so we could at least become friends. but towards the next semester of senior year, a lot happened in my life with friends and family and i was really suffering mentally. eventually he stopped approaching me and he got a girlfriend and they dated by the end of the year. we probably talked only once or twice during that time. now this is the strange part because he told everyone that he was going to go to a college in another state and not the community college which we both currently attend. maybe he joked about it but i’ve heard him tell a couple of people and it didn’t sound like a joke. maybe something happened and that’s why he choose to go a community college instead. i’m not sure if he knew i was going to this community college but i didn’t really tell that many people what college i was going to. but now i had no idea he was in my college until it saw him in my anthropology class a month into the semester. he noticed me and one day he saw me in a lounge area and approached me and said “hey are you “my name” from “our high school”. he said he also asked if i was in his anthropology class and i told him i was and we talked a bit about the class we had together. it felt like a total coincidence that we had a class together especially since our college chose our schedule for us and there’s like tens of thousands of students so the chance of us running into each other and let alone having a class together were very minimal. i was really happy to see him and how he approached me because besides one other person, i hadn’t run into any one else from our high school. i planned that i would start talking to him more in our anthropology class but literally after this incident he stopped coming to class. this happened sometime in September. i figured he got switched out because he wasn’t showing up and attendance is mandatory too and he was never the type to skip class before. it wasn’t until yesterday where i ran into him before the anthropology class and we just made awkward eye contact but he actually came to class. our professor decided to call our attendance instead of having us sign the sheet and his name was called which means he’s still enrolled in the class. i’m guessing he probably had someone sign in for him since that’s a common thing that many students in my college do. after seeing him, my emotions started stirring again. i think after i saw him and talked to him, i got my hopes up that something will finally share between us even if it was just a friendship but then not seeing him in class anymore really crushed me. after seeing him yesterday, i noticed how he was always in the back of my mind after we first reunited and deep inside i still kept hoping we would see each other again somehow. i think i did end up seeing him like twice before yesterday but i’m not sure if he saw me. after seeing him my emotions are just all over the place and i’m not sure what to even do. i don’t wanna just leave things as it is but i don’t know if anything will ever happen between us. it really feels like “right person wrong time” with him but i hate how we still keep running into each other. i’m really debating whether i should text him and tell him the truth of how i always felt, but let him know i would want to take things slow since i’m still trying get my shit together since i’m still trying to adjust to college. but i don’t know if that’s also a good idea, because i’ve tried to shoot my shot many times in the past with other guys but they’ve all just ghosted me. we’re also total opposites from each other too so i don’t know if a relationship would even work and if i do get with him, then it would be my first relationship too. but then again it also feels like there will never be a better timing since now in college, i feel like there’s no one else to get in the way of us at least for now since we’re still new and trying to meet people. what do you all think i should do? (i’m so sorry for how long this is)

I wrote n anonymous letter just ranting about life stuff y’know? Just kinda overall issues in my life and I mentioned my crush in it. I placed that letter atop a piano in a room which they and many others (including myself) frequent and said my prayers and left. About 2 days later it was noticed and given to them. I found out from a friend who knows about this all that they have read the letter. My friends, we are in the endgame..

I have a crush on this guy at university. Indications that he might like me?: I think I've seen him look at me a few times from across the room, but when we make eye contact, I immediately look away - it probably doesn't give the best impression. He sometimes asks me for help in class. Sometimes I find that he is talking to someone else, but his body faces right towards me. He usually smiles at me when we pass each other in the corridor or when we lock eyes. He has complimented me before and sometimes walks right next to me even though we aren't conversing. We have talked to each other, but we only see each other once or twice a week in class, and he has been friendly when we do talk. I don't know him that well and don't know whether he likes me back. I also haven't figured out whether he has a girlfriend (it doesn't seem like he does on social media). We don't share mutual friends, so I can't ask anybody about that. Do I ask him out? This is the first time I would have asked a guy out. It is making me quite anxious. Do I slip into a conversation, " by the way, would you be interested in grabbing coffee with me someday?". Do guys even like being asked out? Any advice would be appreciated.

I (F15) have a crush on a guy in my PE class, he's very sweet, I would say he's a "hallway crush" as we haven't talked very much, my friend told me that he's single (she wants to set us up lol) and I'm just not sure how to approach that. I'm not a very talkative person, and I'm also very introverted and shy. I'm just not sure how I can start a convo with him. Any ideas?

I've been reading him wrong the whole time. He's a pretty hard guy to read, he's been sending mixed signals for at least three weeks now and has been so hot and cold with me. I thought it was just because of my exams and how I wasn't really able to see him, but no. There's no point ranting here since there's no way you'll be able to figure him out either lol, but I think that's just *how he is*. And it hurts but it's my fault for assuming wrong tbh. There was a slight switch in how he texts me a few weeks ago, so I'm assuming that's when he lost interest or something. He's totally fine and exactly the same in person but I can tell something happened. It sucks.

Basically, I'm in an early education learning program. Havent been a popular guy so not much interaction with peers. However, this is the 3rd year of the 4 year program. This girl, lets call her E, recently started to talk to me. Like a lot. She is also in a few of my classes (Trig and Chemistry). She without fail, every time we are close to each other, will say "Hi bluepepperman, how is your day going?". Also, she often makes sure her station in the early education program is somewhat near mine, might be a coincidence tho idk. I have also heard her talking to her friend, who we'll call M, and complaining about not having a boyfriend. Also, this was a one time thing but it stuck with me. I was really struggling one day with some very simple tasks and she gentle holds my arm and says "Need some help?". I cannot tell if she is trying to send me signals or what but I want to ask. What do you guys think?

Some days I feel she is falling for me hard and on others I feel like I'm just a friend. Here are some things about her. Why I think she could like me: -always listens to what I say and remembers details -asks lots of questions about my personal life -texts me first (not very often) -smiles a lot -was the only person to text me to see if I was alright when I was sick recently -gives me small compliments here and there -I don't see her talk to other guys Why I think she doesn't like me -never starts in person conversations -can take quite a while to respond to texts (of course she could just be busy) -no flirting (like at all) Well there it is. What do you guys think? I'm not the best at reading signals and emotions so your help is much appreciated. Thank you all.

I (m18) like a girl (f18). In different unis. Planning on asking her if she would like to meet up at some point next week and basically tell her I like her (and have for a while). I've kept it to myself for far too long and tbh at this point I dont mind if she doesnt feel the same way - I need this weight off my shoulders/chest idk. I want to do it in person rather than via text/over the phone. I havent been in a relationship before nor have I ever asked anyone out so I dont have much of a clue what to say when this meet up happens. I dont want to sound selfish either, dont want it just be about me and how I feel. What is a good way of going about telling her my feelings? Any advice is helpful, thanks!

Side note I have social anxiety and whenever my crush has ever spoken to me I get so nervous and only say a few words and the eye contact scares me sooo much but still I want a reason to talk to her so we can gradually get closer or just be more comfortable around each other. We have 3 classes together 1 of which she doesn’t come to anymore lol and the other two we just have to be kinda focused on what we’re doing if that even makes sense. I just have no idea what to say and my ppl skills are lacking nowadays idek how to start a convo yet I can online which is dumb. I just feel like the things I could say would seem like annoying to ask during class like “why are you talking to me about this rn?” Plus i like to focus on my work and ion wanna distract her yet I never really see her outside of class so yeah.

This is a long read and I hope some of you spend the time to read it and hopefully give advice. I do so appreciate it in advance :) So I 29M have this crush on 23F and it happened at work. I’ve been with the company for 3 years and she just started not too long ago. When I saw her the first time she was being given a tour of the place along with a few other new hires. Anyway I happened to glance over when the group was heading our direction we made instant eye contact and smiled at each other and I was hooked! Our desks at work are open so not cubes. Then for the span of two weeks while she was in training, I noticed her always walking in my direction and passing my desk when going to the restroom, break room and coming and going for the day; there are sooo many other routes for her to take, I could have been reading into it but my state of mind was in one place. Every chance I had I’d turned my head to look at her and when I did she was already looking at me and we’d lock eyes and smile again at each other every time, huge smiles like the flirty kind and I know what is and what isn’t. Some other coworkers were taking notice of this and one told me, “hey man you guys are like totally flirting, you better be careful”. One day at work I offered to help her find something and got the opportunity to introduce each other and that went really well. At this point I feel we have something mutual and maybe I should go for it and get to know her more but it’s really difficult to do this at work and I’ve always lived by not fishing off the company pier. So this is where I think I f’d up. I send her a friend request on FB and she accepted; we ended up talking for a weekend and maybe not the best convos maybe because I’m autistic idk. Anyway I thought the chats were fairly great so when we returned to work I tried to give her my number and she said she had a boyfriend which wasn’t true to my knowledge knowing her friends. A week after getting turned down she unfriended me on FB and doesn’t even look my way of say hi or anything. Not sure what I did but I can’t stop thinking about it and feel like a won’t ever until I get clarity. What should I do? Should I approach her which I’m afraid to do because I don’t want to scare her. Her best friend works there and I’ve debated talking with her about it but idk. I appreciate you all in advance for replying.

I hope you can one day love the way you are. I know that no matter how many times i tell you just how beautiful you are to me, it will not change the way you see yourself. I know you need time to grow and realize that. I just hope that my little compliments every now and then can make you see the way! I cant even imagine how much more you will glow once you see yourself the way i do.

“I love it when you tease me” then proceeds to change the subject, should I be taking note of that? I complimented her necklace and then I indirectly insulted her on accident. But instead of some sarcastic “wooow” I got that! I don’t understand what happened and it’s not like imma ask her about it. She said it in a seductive voice too but didn’t make it obvious, then continued the conversation with the other person that just sat down.

Hello everyone! it's me again. I think I might already know the answer to my question but ...I need to confirm it with another person's perspective. me and my crush were super tight. we would give long messages towards each other. The conversations were always alive and he would flirt a lot with me, give me nicknames. hell even sexting at times. I was always happy. I didn't had to wonder on wether or not he still liked me. we would express each other's love consistently. I felt fulfill. we met on August 6. and we did a lot of build-up in all these months. although lately it seemed hard to get close to him because he deals with depression. and I've tried to be understanding on it. but I get the sense that he never wants to have calls with me or playing games. (we only called once) And everytime his free. he never gives me that time to have a call. There's always a reason not to do it. always mentioning that his to depressed to talk and when his okay. he still doesn't do the calling! I only get texts from him which isn't enough for me. We live in diferent countries. so...I don't have the option to see him. I was thinking of visiting him in a few months but things started to change even more on our sitiation. Ever since I expressed myself about some issues I have. (personal problems) he backed off and has been treating me diferently. and it's been bothering me so much that...I re-open that subject with him but i got nothing positive out of it but only pushed him further. I stopped talking about it but...the way his being towards me now. it's pushing me away. and it really hurts because we had such an amazing connection and i was so happy in it. we clicked so well. I even thought he could be my person. we had plans of what we would do when I go there but...it's all been changing now. he doesn't flirt with me anymore, no romance. we text everyday but...his messages are super short and dry. He kills every topic I throw at him. I feel like I'm the only one trying to keep it alive by making conversations, asking him stuff. trying to be how we were but...it's not enough and im getting tired of trying....😞 and whenever I stop and don't talk to him for one day. he still looks for me to talk even though he continues to give me super short & half-ass response. I feel like he totally down-graded what we had and I'm feeling played at this point. He has mentioned before that he still likes me and his still interested but looking at how his being right now. it shows no interest at all and its killing me. plus asking him hasn't worked! it only pushes him further when I do. so I'm thinking that this is out of my control and it'll die even if I don't want it to....😞 do I just stop bothering all together? what do I do?

AT and I were walking and I was dropping hints that I wanna confess to my crush. I asked him for advice and he told me that all the times he had confessed to his crushes, they rejected him, and his current crush doesn't seem to like him, so asking him was a bad idea. I felt so bad for him and wanted to kiss his adorable face, but I resisted. I told him that I hoped someone would love him, even though I do. I even told him about this subreddit and how I'd been posting on it for advice. I want him to be mine so bad, but I might be over my head.

so my crush left my snaps on delivered and slowly became less talkative in person overtime, so i was finally starting to get over her and she followed me on insta? it feels weird bc it feels like she made it clear she doesn’t want to be friends and then follows me? this isn’t necessarily “does she like me” this is “why the fuck is she acting like this?” do i start trying to go back to friends with her? do i try and date her? do i ignore this and move on with my life? someone help
