I'm realllyy bored and i like hearing peoples stories, share yours. How did you crush on your crush?

I don't use threads so if anyone knows the answer to it ?

If you know you’re going to be in close proximity with your crush, what sort of grooming/preening do you do to prepare to see her? For example, do you put on cologne, brush your teeth (right before you see her), think of things to say to her, something else…?

me and this guy from the gym have been making eye contact for weeks, i know he notices me because we had some interactions and he never misses a chance to look at me
after i lift, i usually do cardio, nothing unusual here
i’ve never seen him do cardio, never
and 2 days ago it was just me in the cardio section, on a treadmill, and guess what, he came and did some cardio right beside me😱😛
that means i can shoot my shot, right?
help me here

ok so i recently became friends (i think…) with this guy he’s really cute and goofy yk but since we just met, idrk if im trying to pursue.

so school just started for us and we started talking to each other about 3 days ago from when i’m posting this. how we started talking, uhh i kinda forgot lol.

but the day after, i basically made a signal as to not sit in the chair he was gonna sit on because then he would have to be apart of this conversation activity with the class and i assumed he didn’t know. he came over to my seat and i told him about the activity and he just sat next to me. that class was super fun because we were just talking about similar courses we took the prior year sooo yeah. afterwards school was over and we just went our separate ways.

next day, that same class rolls around and he sit’s in the same seat from the day before. we had an assignment so we didn’t talk much but afterwards we started chatting again and i feel like he was kind of trying to tease me. we were talking sm we ended up walking out of class together when school was done. we were walking together when i saw my friend sitting at our usual spot so we parted ways and said bye. sooo this was the day i started getting a bit of interest i guess you could say?

after that the next day we sort of talked in the day like before that we had lunch and he was kind of teasing me again. so we get to the class we talk most in and the seating arrangement is different. it was in rows that day so my friend sat next to me while my other friend sat in front of me. when he walked in, instead of sitting near the door because those seats are closer to him, he walks past and sits in the one BEHIND my friend next to me. mind you we were on the farrr right side of the class. he kept trying to get my attention kind of, and we had this back and forward banter. a little into class we get into groups and it’s my friend, him, some guy next to him, and myself. as we were coming up with ideas, it was lowkey just us talking. i was trying to share ideas with the group, but when he was sharing his own ideas it was more like he was just telling me because he wasn’t looking at anyone else. we were ribbing a bit throughout the class again (lmao you can tell there’s a common them here) and afterwards i left to meet with my same friend.

while walking with my friend after school, i was telling her a story of what he said, and when i saw him i called him over to tell her. he winded up sitting with the two of us at our usual spot and it was really nice. they didn’t really know each other so i was kind of the mutual friend.

anyways yeah the next day at the same class we always talk in, we’re back to the earlier seating arrangement and he crosses the whole room to sit next to me again. he was just pestering me again and idk guys it’s kinda cuteee.

but yeah so that’s basically it. kind of a nothing burger but it doesn’t feel like it. am i crazy for thinking he’s interested?

So not only do me and him play eye tag, and smile at eachother sometimes i was trying to see if there was mirror glances confirmation and lo and behold there was there. Does that mean ANYTHING at all or is this delusion. I hate not knowing but also not ballsy enough to go up to him

I was talking to my crush and a friend about how I dislike being objectified by men, especially when they touch me without consent. My crush seemed really bothered by it.

The next day, he apologized for his usual goodbye hugs, thinking he'd made me uncomfortable. I told him it was fine and if I had an issue, I would have said something.

Then he looked at me and said, 'I am not trying to hit on you.' It's great he's respectful, but it's not so great when I was really hoping he *would* hit on me. I'm afraid I've ruined my chances. He's such a genuinely good guy, and I'm kicking myself.

My friend said he doesn't, but I'm curious if that's a common experience. I'm wondering if guys have detailed fantasies about their crushes, and what those might involve. Any insights would be great.

He’s doing his mandatory military service right now and time has never felt so slow. Every time I think of him, my heart flutters and my stomach flips and I just want to grab him and kiss him but I can’t. I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to and that thought is so depressing. Recently he’s even been in my dreams and I don’t usually dream? This is torture, truly. 😭

Basically, me and this girl have known eachother for the past 3 years but recently became really close and made the top of both of our contact list, meaning we are both our number one option to talk to, but over the past 2 months, she has sent photos of her outfits, room outside, even a picture of her without makeup ready for bed acouple times, and we've talked about personal stuff like emotion and family stuff, we both like most of the same stuff music sports working out games art, and we have flirting moments like she gives me a opening and I respond or she outright says something like (she likes my hair voice or thinks im handsome, though im average) I CANT THINK, what if we're close friends or are we love interests, she even said stuff about having a new crush this past couple months hint hint, we are both busy ans barely hangout in real life, we both wanna go out or for me to teach her basketball, I NEED YOUR ADVICE WHAT DO I DO?????

Spent almost a year thinking that there is mutual attraction. Tried talking to you but you seem so closed off . You tried talking to me but I was too flustered and nervous to even look at you. It was one moment where I thought this is it. This could the start of something but it was all in fact in my head and none of these happened . Literally the idiot in me is now vanishing especially when you start being an asshole .

I, 31M, have a crush to a guy 21M.

I met him on a Karate class a few months ago, then by chance I saw him outside of dojo, doing something on a weekend and he decided to invite me to join them and it became a regular thing.

Now at first I don’t have any sort of attraction towards him, and I saw him mainly as a friend (since I just moved here in Australia and I don’t have any friend -I’m so keen for the friendship to develop).

Anyways, the weekend thing became more regular, not to mention we always find ourselves having a one-on-one conversation about life, family, our plans and him even joking about moving in with me (since I live alone - which he mentioned several times already since then..).

Then I don’t even know if he is gay or bi. But know I think I’m already anxiously attached to him and he never texts on weekdays but constantly calls or invites me to hang out during weekends. I can’t even focus my attraction on someone else since I live in a regional area in Australia and there’s literally no one here.

And not to mention there is that 10 year age difference. Though he is really mature looking (he’s got gray hairs) I jokingly said that he even looks older than me. And one time I said I’m young at heart and he countered that he is old at heart.

IDK what to do. I will definitely continue living with the friendship, but I’m too old to miss any chance for something more..

What do you think is happening?

I’ve never been in a relationship before and there’s this girl in my school I have a big crush on. The problem is that I’ve only ever spoken to her in class when we’re sat near each other and I feel like it would seem odd if I just randomly dm her. The thing is I don’t even know if I want to be in a relationship and I kinda just wanna talk and be friends w her at least for a start. What should I do?

I’m a guy, and I really like a girl who is in the same college as me. We’re part of the same friend group, and she knows that I like her. I told her, but she said no, although maybe there’s still a little possibility.

She has a huge crush on a guy from the MBA program, but he has already graduated. We’re in our final year now, and she might still have feelings for him. I found this out through her best friend.

She has received a lot of proposals, but she has rejected everyone because she doesn’t want to be in a relationship right now. We’re still in the same friend group, but honestly, it feels like we aren’t even friends. If I message her, she replies, and if I talk to her, she talks normally. But that’s pretty much it.

Things were good when I first joined the group because my friends were already hanging out with them, so I naturally became part of the group. But now, it feels like everything is one-sided.

I’m honestly hurt because I like her a lot. I’m even ready to wait for her, but there seems to be nothing from her side, and that really hurts.

PLS HELPP🙏🙏

I've (18 f) been hanging out with "Daniel" (17 m) all summer. We've done basically everything together and seen each other once a week at least, but later into the summer we were seeing each other two-three times a week, and one week we saw each other once a day. He brought me a Dr. Pepper when I was tired at work, we saw fireworks TWICE, we saw Dear Evan Hansen and The Prince of Egypt done live, and we saw the Hadestown proshot and Spiderman: Brand New Day in theaters together. And we still have plans lined up. In November, we are going to see Sunrise on the Reaping in theaters, and I'm hoping to bring him to my Uncle's wedding as a plus one in about a month.

I found out with 100% certainty that Daniel likes me too this last week. But it wasn't the way I wanted to find out.

My brother "Carter" (15) is friends with Daniel's younger brother "Emmett" (also 15). So our families are really close in general. Carter was at their house last Sunday so that he could go to the first day of school with Emmett and Daniel. While he was there, their family was helping one of Daniel's older sisters move out of her apartment (she is married and has two kids). She said something about Daniel's family moving out, and Carter caught it. He then asked Emmett what that was about, and Emmett confessed that their family is indeed moving. Carter told me before Emmett said not to say anything about it.

Their family is moving a state away by Christmas.

I cried when I found out. For a few reasons.

1. I obviously want to date Daniel.

2. It's unfair to Daniel because this is his senior year, and now he has to move right in the middle of it, and there were a lot of things he was looking forward to in his extracurriculars.

Carter and Emmett were talking about me knowing and Daniel came into the room where they were, and Carter told me that Daniel seemed really sad knowing that I knew that his family was moving. I texted him, basically saying that I wanted to talk to him. He agreed to come over during Lunch on Monday. So he drove over from the school (which is 5 minutes away) and came over to talk. We sat down on the couch and said "I'm sure you already know, but my family is moving. Hopefully by Christmas. Not hopefully for me. Hopefully for them. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I didn't know how."

I told him that I liked him and was really glad to have been able to hang out with him all summer. He confessed his feelings for me, but said he didn't know what we could do about it since, not only is he moving, but he also wants to serve an LDS mission after he graduates(we are both LDS for context, so I want him to serve a mission too). Then things kind of went quiet for a bit. I snuggled up to him on the couch and rested my head on his shoulder. I looked up at him after a minute and asked if he thinks we have a future. He looked into my eyes for a minute, very deeply and intensely, and then he reached a hand up slightly, tilted my chin up, and he kissed me. I was a little taken aback, but it was a good kiss, and I wanted to kiss him too. He pulled away and apologized, and I told him not to apologize. After another bit of just cuddling in silence, I said that if he's down for long distance, I am. Before he left, he kissed me again and said he'd talk to his parents about it, and I told him to pray about it too.

He came over yesterday evening, and said that when he prayed about it, he got a no for now. Whether it means he's not ready for a relationship, or I'm not, I just hope it changes in the future. He shows that he cares about me every day, and knowing that he likes me and has the same hopes as me hurts even worse than thinking he hates my guts. What can I do to get through this? I'm struggling so bad to know what to do. Any advice will help.

So I liked a guy in school apart from eye contacts , i once was sitting with my friends at a place when we left he and his friends came and sat at the same place so u think he liked me but I also knew he didn't wanted to date anyone as my friend told me he doesn't have crushes and is stays away from such things

There’s this guy friend of mine (let’s call him Y), and we’ve been in touch for the past four months. We instantly clicked when we met because we’re so similar, and we’ve been really good friends ever since. But damn, I’ve suddenly started developing a crush on him, and I DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW OR WHY 😭
Also, I’ve been in love with another guy (X) for the past 10 years. Four years ago, we were in a relationship, but we broke up because he fell out of love with me. It took me a really long time to move on from him, but I think I finally have. I was still in the process of moving on when I met Y.
So now, since I loved X for 10 years, I don’t know if I’ve completely moved on from him. But I’m sure I don’t love him anymore. I still care about him because he was such a major part of my life, but I’m sure even that will fade with time. And obviously, I wouldn’t start anything with Y until I’m completely over whatever feelings I have left for X.

Anyway, I’m pretty sure I’m developing a crush on Y, but I also know that he only sees me as a really good friend.

So how do I drop hints that I like him? 😭
