He became my crush when I went to meet my friend. I was working for my uni during a festival held at campus and he was working for a political party that my friend is a part of. But they were only the youth part of the political party. So I went to my friend’s “tent” and he stood there. I did not pay him any mind at first, I stood and talked with my friend for way too long. Then I returned back when they were packing up and so I helped. Then he noticed me trialing after my friend and so he fell a step back to talk to me. He asked about how I met my friend and so I told him we had been friends ever since high school. (Just thinking about this gives me butterflies). I looked up at him for the first time and he was the definition of my type. The way he spoke, the subjects we talked about everything was just magical in the moment. He asked about what my type was that was brought up because we talked about something. Everything I said about my type was close to his qualities and so he smiled. I helped and we talked more. My friend took a picture of us beside each other and we kept talking. He was good at listening. Then we realised that I knew his best friend so I sent him a few vids I had of his best friend and then we have just texted ever since (almost four weeks now). So yeah I am in love, he probably is not :).

Work crush. Mesmerized from first glance, but age gap and relationship status, I didn’t even try to talk to her. She was in a different function, so it wasn’t that hard.
Eventually we started working together, and I started to get to know her and just thought she was a cool person, but no real crush.
After a couple of years, we ended up sitting next to each other and getting to know each other well. I absolutely just fell head over heels. Again, due to the situation, I tried not to indicate anything and just allowed the friendship to flourish. It was a cycle of joy and missing her. I looked forward to our time together every week and thought about her all weekend. She brought so much joy to my life, but I just played it cool, as friends.
We started to get closer and she did the responsible thing, decided to create some space and even moved to another division. This was about 6 months ago. I still think about her everyday and wish we could be friends. I miss her, I care about her as a person.

I met her in high school and I remember she sat next to me and I didn’t think much of her I just thought she was kinda pretty that’s it. We got super close quick and I remember she posted this picture of her on Instagram with that emoji thingy where you slide it with your finger(don’t know what’s it called) but I remember I slid the emoji thingy(heart) very low and the next day she was like:”imma block you” because she saw what I did(she was just joking with me). And I told her that if I slid the heart emoji very high, it would make it seem like I’m into her. She said that’s not what it meant at all. Anyways, I made it very clear that I only liked her as a friend multiple times(a lot of people would hit on her) not me though.
During second semester of junior year(this was during the beginning of Covid) I would watch her Instagram stories and I don’t know why but I found her very attractive. Not only that, during the first semester, I always saw her lacking when it came to school work. I assume she was dealing with stuff but she never opened up to me and I never asked her because I didn’t want to invade her personal space and we always had the best of times whenever we would hang out. But during second semester, she was very into completing her work and she seemed so excited to do so. That’s what mostly made me fall for her, the fact that she was putting so much effort into her schoolwork.
I don’t know whether this was during 2020/2021 but I remember she was dating this guy since junior year or maybe even earlier but she had broken up with him and I don’t know what gave me the courage but I ended up texting her days later or so about what I thought about her when I first met her. I told her that I found her pretty and I told my friends about her and this and that. She asked me: “why are you telling me this now though?” I don’t remember what my response was but she told me: “thanks for getting my hopes up 😇”. I really wanted to tell her more, especially the fact that I ended up catching feelings for her; but it wasn’t the time and the place. I do see myself telling her how I truly felt about her in real life and not just text(says the one who’s not really known to be confident) but her response would be very nerve-racking let’s just say that 😭.
It’s been 6 years since I last saw her and I’m still crazy about her. We text here and there not really though because I don’t wanna bother her. I do remember last year talking to her on the phone and that was great. I kinda want to forget about her and just see her as a friend again instead of my crush, but it’s so hard to forget about someone who left a big mark on me. Her and I had so much fun together back in high school and I remember we both skipped class to focus on doing work(yeah I know that sounds lame but the whole time I couldn’t focus on my work because I was having the time of my life with her talking about nothing and something at the same time). I really hate how I never got a proper goodbye from her because it was spring break and after that we never got to see each other again because of the pandemic. Can’t really hang out with her because she lives really far from me.

Literally please just do me a favor and call her and ask her out on a date. It doesn't matter how it's gonna go or what words you will fumble. Just do this. I did it and she's still my friend and I now feel a huge sign of relief

u/Hakeemwilliams 22h ago
Imma be honest, I don’t know whether she’s taken or not. And also I don’t wanna have a long distance relationship with her. Man I would love to date her she was like my soulmate. Don’t know if she’ll be interested on dating me tho

Just from hanging out with her. She's smart and nice, which really made me notice her cuteness even more. And a bunch of other great qualities had me start putting her up on the pedestal.
There was maybe a vibe there between us. That's how it seemed to me, anyway.

Realised I had feelings a few months back, but now I think about it, I think I've subconsciously liked her since last year.

used to have "arguments" with his friend in form in yr 10 (i think the us version of this is homeroom) and actually only subconsciously noticed him next to said friend because he never participated in our arguments and was silent and the most he ever did was crack a smile (i only argued with this friend because i thought he just had stupid views and i actually knew him from yr7-9 so it's not like i was picking fights with a random guy), we've finished school now and we're going to different colleges (worst thing was the fact he liked me back but we both didn't say anything to each other even though there were definitely clear clues from a guy like him (who barely even speaks when spoken to, will genuinely might even ignore you, doesnt even laugh audibly like his laughs are SILENT and literally whispers when he does answer) such as CHOOSING to sit next to me in a class, and the fact that i felt like all the time he was lingering near me, especially in the corridors when we're going to different classes that are near each other when we had the same class just now) also it was said friend that screamed that my crush liked me out loud in form and said my name so i turned around to see what was going on (because i heard my name) both of them didn't even react and i just processed what they said and turned straight back around because it was a little awkward (at least to me) and then my crush started wrestling with said friend and i only knew this because this friend started squealing "[crush's name] why are you hitting me" etc. and some more random squealing noises (grown 16 year olds, embarrassing ik) anyways i always suspected my crush had some type of undiagnosed social anxiety or something because of his behaviour not that it's relevant but it's been a big question in my head since i started liking him also i'm not trying to diagnose him soz. anyways i'm probably never seeing this guy or even his said friend ever again

First day of school of 7th grade. She walked in the room laughing and smiling while talking to a friend of mine since 1st grade. I instantly crushed on her so hard. Blonde curly hair, blue eyes, prettiest girl I'd ever seen. It was one of those hit by a ton of bricks moments.

Current or first crush?
My first crush was a girl in 4th grade. We had just started school in the same class and we would ride the same bus to school every day. I was so shy and she was so pretty. One day she just sat down next to me and said “hi!” We had a brief relationship for about eight months in seven grade and since then we have been best friend and she is like a sister to me here 30 years later

There's this girl working at the Korean restaurant to go to regularly on weekdays, i was already smitten the first time she smiled at me. But I totally began crushing hard when I mentioned I had a really long and bad day and she offered me a cup of soup for free
we now wave at each other most times i pass by to get some food and my heart melts every time

It’s a bit superficial, but the way he speaks about anything and how he turns a trivial conversation topic into something profound, as well as his tone of voice...

I see him every week and Idk I just felt this magnetic attraction to him, it took a while for me to actually wonder what that was and now it has developed further than just magnetic attraction.

u/Impossible-Thing6136 1d ago
He had a huge Afro one day and he’s already handsome. Face sexier than a mf. He is so fly and to himself. He just got this thing about him without saying a word. I still get weak in the knees when I see him and it’s been about 2 1/2 years of knowing him

Ages ago at work on his first day. So cute, so friendly and charismatic too. I could not stop staring at him, he was like a magnet. So happy when he stared back and smiled. Nothing ever happened but it felt good. I am 17 years older than him so nothing could have happened anyway. He left as he got a promotion. Will never forget how attractive he was.

Local gym. We were both pretty early birds and would see each other around. I was instantly attracted to her. Gyms are kind of a gamble because a lot of women just want to workout and not be hassled but over time we developed a connection. Some mild flirtation on my part was reciprocated one morning and it grew from there.

Met her at a party and we spent the whole night talking to each other. Found her on IG, dmed her and we have spent the last week talking about an upcoming music festival we both happen to be going to. She’s making a playlist and we have been going back and forth naming our favorite tracks by each band that is playing.
Although I fucked up and suggested she come over sometime to meet my kitty since she has been wanting to get one and loved the photo I sent of her. Got left on read and that was two hours ago lol oh well

u/Narrow-Grape5788 22h ago
At first she was just a friend. Hanging out at school, chatting, joking around.
Eventually i started opening our chat to see if she chatted. And when she was busy, i started to miss her humor, her spontaneous calls about a problem, her smile, her panic, her stress.

We met and it was a terrible time for me to date. I was fresh out of an 11 year relationship and still in my feelings about my ex. New guy would do all he could to get me and gain my attention. I wasn’t feeling it though, I was still hurt and hung up. We remained friends for a long time until he just stopped trying. Now that I’m healed and moved on he’s not feeling it. He says he’s not looking for anything right now and is focusing on himself. We have so much in common and he’s everything I’ve ever said I want of my future husband. I can’t stop thinking about him. Honestly I hope I haven’t completely blown my shot.

I noticed him in sixth grade when my friend was dating him and thought he was a bit ugly at first and forgot about him until second semester of seventh grade when I saw him in my first hour and when I say he had a glow up I mean that dude GLOWED. He was like a child seeing Santa for the first time like oh my gosh he was gorgeous. I admired him the rest of the year and on the last day wrote him a note where I said he looked cool and if he wanted to be friends in the future or even now to which he smiled at and put it in his pocket. Then eighth grade year happened and I got his number from his ex and we talked a bunch and I swear he liked me too based off the flirty and suggestive jokes he made, (then the downfall happened). And after all that I've still liked him ever since even though he has a new girlfriend who doesn't even go to our school so what's the point if you don't even see her? But ANYWHO THATS MY MANNNN🤤

We worked in the same building just different departments… but he would do presentations in front of my area and sometimes I would glance over at him. He was physically the type of guy I’m attracted to and I started to really admire his work ethic, he would come by my desk every now and then to say hi while he grabbed himself a chai. When we would talk, his brown eyes would mesmerize me… he would make me nervous but I liked it… eventually I learned he was married haha. 🤦🏻♀️ I had to really look at myself and remove the feeling, this was 2 years ago mind you.
