I guess I'm just looking to actually voice this and not necessarily looking for advice. Any support or tips appreciated too!

I (28F) have a crush on a coworker (27M) that's about a week and a half in the making. Initially I was on the fence about what to do because our office is pretty close knit, BUT I have decided for numerous reasons that I will tell him.

1. Worst case scenario is it might be a little awkward for a bit if he is not receptive, but he seems like a genuinely good guy so I don't expect it to be incredibly awkward at all. And I won't be hurt by the rejection if that's what does happen.

2. Best case scenario is we get to know each other more and maybe it develops into something more meaningful.

3. If somebody had a crush on me, I would want to know.

4. I am a very bold and straightforward person and I do not like carrying this secret around with me. Maybe that is selfish, but it is what it is.

So this Friday I want to tell him because we don't work weekends and this would give both of us some breathing room and less room for awkwardness. I am hoping maybe we run into each other on the way out of the office. Obviously this exact circumstance may not happen, so this is more a tentative plan pending a window of opportunity presents itself.

I'm nervous but also really excited. I am a pretty peppy positive person so I treat everybody with the same happy attitude so I do not think he will expect this necessarily and I hope it doesn't take him aback too much.

He's just so fucking cute and even the minimal potential that something could come of it is a really nice feeling.

My crush is too shy to admit he likes me so he's an asshole to me. This is a grown man, btw.

Anyway, I adore him but he's stupid.

Guys shes nice and touchy with everyone but me 💀 ans also is mean to only me💀 but we are close friends and i liked her since we’ve met and thing is today we had a test ans one of our classmates told me to sit in front of him which also required me to sit next to my crush so i could cover him while he cheats in test i was about to sit down but my crush prevented me to sit in jokingly way and then i got on my old seat but she’s very nice and touchy with everyone but me to me shes jokingly mean and subtly touchy and she also started copying my slang couple of weeks ago and calls me nerd sometimes probably cuz one of our friend started to call me “nerd” sometimes. HELP YA BOI OUT 😈be ruthlessly realistic what you think

Is it ok to leave someone on read if the conversation seems like it’s run it’s course? and I don’t wanna respond with an average “lol” or something like that. I don’t mean it to be toxic or ignoring her I just don’t know what to say or keep dragging it on.

I just confessed to my crush and I’m absolutely terrified

The place that I live in, has holidays. My family decided to go for a staycation of one night at a resort a bit away from home. Only to find my childhood crush and family there too, on the exact same days. We’re now adults (me just graduating in one year and he graduated one year ago). We don’t speak, but when we bumped into each other in the resort, his face lit up and we had a brief convo. I just loved living the time again, and he still gives me butterflies. And I know his family very well because me and his sibling are childhood friends 🙈

The coincidence was extremely weird… I am guessing its a hint 🙊

we met a few days ago and she invited me to a local concert last night with some of her friends. she's very flirty but she has so many friends it's hard to tell if that's just her personality or if she likes me. but we hung out like the whole time and it seemed like she was focusing much more on me than anyone else..i just don't know

I have a long time crush on one of my college mate from college. I never had conversation with him as he is from different department. He started to notice me and got to know that I like through our mutual friend. My feelings for him didnt change for years. So I confessed to him on my 7th semester through text. He politely apologized and said that he had no such feelings towards me. I was heartbroken and took a step back. We were awkward around each other after that and to add more to it I was put along with him in a group interview. Sat next to each other. 😑 I bluffed like anything as dont know what to say in the interview as he is sitting so close to me. I failed that interview. But still that moment was something I remember till I die. 😁 I tried making convo after college days, but he ignored. After 3 years.......

I saw him on instagram, and gave request. He accepted and followed me back. I was on cloud nine. But I dont want to go again start convo again and get ignored. So he texted me back after a week or so 😬 We had a formal conversation of Hi, how are you doing, what you are to, career..etc. and thats all. After that no texts from him. He checks out my story and posts. I used to post stories that he can start conversaion with. But he didnt. I wanted to get to know him very badly. He just woke up all my shutdown emotions and I wanted him to be part of my life badly. I just cant move on from him. I cant get him out of my head. I want to know more about him and if it clicks i want to take it forever. I dont how to start a convo with him gain...its been 8 moths since his text on insta. I want to know what he feels towards me now. Is he ready for relationship or does he have any changed feelings towards me???? What should I do now? I just want to have frequent convo with him and get to know about him first before making any confession to him again. Help me out.

PS: Im 25 he is 26, both working in different places.

I need help. I have always been the loser in school who gets made fun of until this school year (11th grade). During quarantine, I grew to 6'1, lost a lot of weight, and I'm a completely new person. This school year, IDK if I am delusional or not but it just seems like everybody likes me. I don't have any experience with girls so it just frustrates me trying to figure it out, it is like 10+ girls. Whenever I ask my friend to ask if they know me, they always say they don't know who I am which confuses me too, and all my friends call me delusional.

Signs: - stares with smiles, intimidated kind of stares, this one girl covered her face with her hair and was like looking at me, this other girl stared at me for like 20 SECONDS when she was supposed to be presenting to the class and her partner was just talking the whole time, this other girl that sits in front of me at an angle turned her torso towards me and was talking all softly, they stare at me through the door, giggle at like almost everything i say even if it's not funny, they say stuff out loud that only i would know about, i was laughing at a video with these girls and the girl i thought liked me looked like she was going to cry, another girl bumped into me in the hallway and when i was like "oh my bad" she went off giggling it looked like, i say thank you a lot, so when this girl came back from the bathroom she says "thank you" softly looks directly at me and then giggles.

All of these stuff happen, so they just make me feel like i am seeing things or there is something wrong with me. Mind you, I've never experience anything like this, so I am just very awkward and stuff. Idk if my friends are just cockblocking me heavy or I am delusional. This one girl I liked since freshman year is the president of this one club. She posted this flirty tik tok which literally described me, and when I told someone about it they said "she doesn't know who you are and she thinks you're weird". That is the guidance counselors niece btw. When I snapped her a question about the club, she told me "anyone can come" and I said "oh okay cool" and she says "yea bring your friends" and I said "sounds good". She replied EXTREMELY fast too when I texted her. For someone who apparently thinks I am "weird" I thought that was strange. This other girl I liked moved on to this other dude bc i didn't know if she really liked me or not. When i gave her eye contact in the hallway she looked almost embarrassed to be with the dude in front of me.

We met the night before in an office team dinner. As I was helping organise the dinner event, I was tasked to come up with a game that we can all play as a team (we had around 100 people consisting of smaller teams). As I went around asking ideas from the sub-teams, I met him when I approached his team's table. I introduced myself and eventually with the help of his team members we started playing a game. It was fun until the dinner began. I was sitting alone in the front as my friends were either busy or already out to get the food from the buffet placed in the hallway. His and my eyes met and he asked me if I wanted to join him to get the food. His team and I went to get food but later I came back to join my team to eat the food. We did bump into each other a few times, when we smiled and even had a few interactions. I became friends with one of his team members and later when I was leaving, I requested them to wave at me first as I was bad at remembering people who I have met only once for a brief time. The next day in office, again twice or thrice when he went past my cubicle, we smiled at each other and waved. Later that evening, when I was having coffee with my friends in the pantry, he had also come with his team for a break. As he was coming into the pantry, our eyes met, he called out name smiling and he walked over to my table with his box of fruits (which he was going to eat to break his fast for the day) and insisted my friends and I take a fruit piece (first me and then my friends and then eventually again me... so I took two pieces). He didn't have to come over and share his fruits, but he did. Is he just a sweet guy or is he maybe interested in me?

i have been talking to a girl that goes to my school on snapchat and we have texted a lot, we also have been facetiming until pretty late(1-3 am). i like her, i think she likes me but although we usually talk 1-2 hrs a day at least she ignores me in school. on a call with her, i asked her about it and she brushed it off. she was asking some of my friends if i liked her and they (ofc) gave neutral answers. idk if she likes me or not.

if not, i am a dumbass.

if so, i still am a dumbass.

Ever since I met him....he was such a cool guy.. does he like me?..

Okay so I (18f) met this guy (19m) at a party. He asked me for my number and then we matched on tinder. He started texting me a fair amount and we smoked together once with nothing happening. He continued to text me (but he’s bad at replying so even though he’d instigate convo he’d take at least 2-4 hours to respond) and eventually asked me to smoke again. We watched a movie and it took him like 30 minutes to even grab my hand to hold it. I ended up leaving after the movie because he never made a move even though I feel like I was fairly obvious (ie, leaning close to him, eye contact, laying my legs on top of his). I thought we were not gonna happen after this so I was like whatever but now he’s added me on Snapchat. I just have no clue whether or not this guy is into me and just shy or if he does not like me at all

As the title says... I became too obsessed. I stalk her everyday. I try so hard to hide my feelings when i'm with her. I cry myself to sleep every night. Today i liked one of her posts by mistake and i feel so bad.

I know she likes me, even the slightest. But the talking stage or whatever the f... is that scares me the most... I am extremelly boring for today's standards. I listen to weird music, I have odd hobbies, no friends, no brothers. I come from a boring family that knows only work and sleep...... no many life experiences. i sit in my room alone everyday..... Many say i'm an amazing person... but that alone, won't keep her by my side. I am tired of this loneliness.... it kills me. When im with her i just behave like a normal person..... and when im alone i feel physically ill

Well. There is a boy I really like. and I met him in my freshman year and he liked me. but because of covid we stopped talking. Now in my junior year I don't have any classes with him but my friend does. So I spent my entire junior year having a crush on him but never talking to him. Until a month ago he invited my friend and me to see a movie. but at that time it didn't seem like a good idea to me because maybe he did it so that my friend wouldn't feel uncomfortable. I think he likes her. but in the end I went because no one forced him to invite me and if he had wanted to be a date with my friend he would have invited only her. The point is that three days ago I told him about two in the morning that I liked him. "Anthony I like you" . The next day he doesn't say anything and he just asks me. "what time did you sleep yesterday?"We have talked a bit through messages but he never touched on the fact that I told him I liked him. Yesterday I saw him after school and I tell him. "Are you mad at me?" He says no that if he had said something. I said no. he asked me if I had said something and I told him no. Then he said goodbye and that's it. I told my friend and she just laughed at me and told me. "There, he sent you to the friend zone".

She talks a lot with him and today and she told me that he's gonna travel to math next week for advisory. She said that she wanna go too. And told me to go with her. But I don't know if I should go. Would it look bad?

Sounds dumb, I know.. but there’s this guy and he’s pretty cool. Always saw him around campus, and my friends know him. We’re not like close personally. Well, recently he has followed me on social media and on strava (we’re both runners and bikers) and he always likes my Instagram stories and what not. Well last week I spoke up in front of my school at our community meeting and after that he came to me in the parking lot at school and mentioned how I made a great point and what not which made me feel really good. But after he was like “well, have a nice day dude.” And walked off. Maybe he friend zoned me? I wanna start talking with him more or maybe invite him to go on a strava walk. Idk.. we’ve just never talked before other than occasional eye contact in the halls. What do I do? How do I start talking to someone I have just met kind of without it being weird or awkward?

So a week ago me and this guy fucked. It was basically the first time I met him at a HP. We have been texting ever since but a lot of ppl have warned me abt him he has a lot of red flags. i can even notice it while texting him just these past couple of days. But he’s in my head. Idk what to do. i tried stopping talking w him but every time I act dry it’s like he knows what I’m doing and starts putting so much effort in the conversation yet when I act interested he barely does.

basically i (nb they/she 20) always felt excluded growing up because i would basically pretend to have crushes on guys bc i felt like i didnt fit in, i realized that i was pan, but then as i grew older i know i dont like guys and im only attracted to non-men so i label myself as lesbian. i lost a lot of friends because i came out to them. but whenever i get a crush its ALWAYS on straight girls. ive only had one situationship and that did not last long. i had a crush on someone that ive known for a long time, but then i realized that its never going to happen so i stopped liking them. i recently met someone new and we have a friendship and have gotten really close really fast, but i do not want to fall for another straight girl. the thing is i dont even know if i even like this girl what should i do?

original post*

This cute chick recently gives me the look now and then, even tho I haven't talked to her yet.. Be anywhere I see her giving me multiple glances and heck sometimes just staring at me .. I don't see any expressions tho and once it happened that we locked eyes for 2-3 seconds straight until she looked down. Her friends definitely know cause I've seen them looking my way as well prolly to report to her how I was looking and all...i was confident that she might be interested but it all broke down when I saw her id on Instagram and sent out a request to her to confirm my assumptions unfortunately she didn't respond to it and I retracted my request as well.. So now I'm at a place where I'm thinking if I'm over analysing this whole situation or maybe there is something really brewing...side note - I'm 5'10" , pretty fit and prolly it's the gym where she started giving me indirect signs by walking past me and being around my vicinity.. The usual

***update***

i finally broke the ice, but holy shit it was insane... I was returning from the gym and sat with my friends at the canteen until one of mates sported her just next to us .. Away 2 , 3 tables... And again staring and glancing at me... I didn't bother as it was not the ideal way to go talk as I had already been seated and would look creepy..i went off to bring my sandwich to my table and spotted her friend looking at me and her glacing over and over again obviously but i ignored it and acted as if I didn't spot them... They get done and leave while we're still eating but after a while she and her friend returned and stood literally *beside me* like no cap... To this I thought well ig I gotta talk now and as she was moving behind me(idk why tho) I just threw a casual thing like "I don't see U in the gym anymore" And she was smiling like anything and it was beautiful...anyways to which she responded that she is there "everyday except Tuesday" Before I could say anything else I could see her and her friend giggling and they ran away.. Now I was pretty confident that she's into me.. But today things became I must say wierd . .. I saw her at the gym.. She made it absolutely clear that she was around me by walking past me and all.. Glancing over and over again obviously... But when I went to talk to her.. She seemed "reserved" And "busy" Idk maybe she didn't want to be distracted from the workout.. Idk it just felt I wasn't welcome.. So I left without saying much and decided I won't react to her obvious stares (which she kept on giving after our interaction.. Ofc) and I kept my grind till the end of it she was joined by another of her friend and they moved into the washroom.. (Me and my buddy were working out near it) so we thought that's the end of it... But she left and came back to the gym fucking "thrice" And again her friend checking me out and all...the usual And hung out around me.... Idk wtf am I supposed to do now... Like wt????

*Update 2*

This was just bizarre and disrespectful honestly.. Or maybe I'm seeing into it too much..... Literally went upto her ... She was walking with her friend..... Who she seemed to hang around alot... I guessed her being with her friend mkes her comfortable cause usually she's nervous... But I struck up a convo and she again smiled and all was laughing and giggling.. Initially I thought it was working out well until her friend gave her a stare and she literally *RAN AWAY WITH HER* without saying bye Or anything and I really wanted to talk more.... This really pissed me off and now I'm so done I've done 2 approaches with limited reaction yet she still gives me the stares and all.... It's breaking my back now... Idk wt to do.. I feel embarrassment and regret
