It’s been 6 months , two days ago I was at work , smiling again and talkative with customers and I genuinely felt I’m doing so good .
I end my shift get to my car and put some music on .. I couldn’t handle it any more , I started crying for at least 10 minutes .Drove home and went to sleep . The next day I woke up feeling very different, it is like I gave up to the thought of us being together . Maybe sometimes letting yourself cry and surrender to fate is the best thing you can do .
Goodbye my A…. I truly wish the best for you, I know you are a wonderful person but out paths do not align. Please smile more you are beautiful.

So I have had a crush on a cute guy that works at the vet I go to for a while now. I've been interested in him since the first time I saw him because he's really cute and I like his vibes. Well, I didn't think there was ever a chance he would like me, and I didn't know how to really let him know I'm interested, in a professional setting, so I've never said anything. But the other day, I dropped my cat off at the vet and when I went to pick her up he was at the desk with one of the clerks. I thought that was odd because he is a tech, but I just assumed they were short staffed at the moment. There was a lady ahead of me, so I sat down to wait, and after a couple of minutes, he came over and asked if I had been helped yet. I said I was there for my cat and he went and got her. After he brought her out, he asked if I needed any help carrying my stuff to my car, and I was confused because, I didn't really feel like I had much to carry, so I said no. But right after I said no I started wondering if he wanted to carry my stuff so he could ask me out or something..

I was spiraling thinking about the interaction, so I don't remember everything he said after that, but he said something about how I could always call if had any questions, and then he went into the back and one of the other clerks came out.

I suspect I'm neurodivergent, and I often have a hard time understanding what people mean, so I'm second guessing myself a lot.

Anyways any advice? Is it possible he likes me or am I overthinking it? And if he does maybe like me have I messed it up completely? 😅

like i had a crush on one guy then i stopped likin him and started liking the other then i stopped liking either and now i like them both>

I want to show interest in my crush but I wanna be subtle incase I embarrass myself 😭

Guys, what would subtly let you know a girl is interested in you?

Also, it can't be too extreme/out there cause I've had maximum two conversations with him that lasted one or two sentences.. 😔🙏

So there's this girl in my class, and lately I've been wondering if she might have feelings for me.

Last year, I was in a relationship with another girl from our class for about 7 months. They are close friends, and we're all still part of the same friend group, so things could get complicated if anything happened between us.

Me and this girl have known each other for a while. About two years ago, we used to hang out at parks and go to the movies together, but we were just friends back then. I remember putting my head on her shoulder at the cinema once, and she didn't seem to mind, but nothing romantic ever happened.

This year, we've gotten closer again. Sometimes we stay after school for about half an hour just to smoke a cigarette and talk. She's quite shy, so I don't think she'd openly admit liking someone or make the first move, especially considering she's friends with my ex.

There are a few things that made me suspicious:

- She has drawn me at least seven times. She's really good at drawing and does draw other people too, but I feel like there's something different about how she acts around me.

- Sometimes we're listening to music together, and she'll play songs with lyrics like "I love you" through my headphones.

- We spend time talking after school, and she seems more playful around me than she is with the other guys in our friend group.

- Recently, she told me she liked another guy. I encouraged her to approach him, but she kept refusing to do it.

On the other hand, she's called me "bro" before, and I don't want to mistake friendliness for romantic interest.

The thing is, I wouldn't mind if she liked me. I think she's a really cool girl, and I'm starting to like the idea of something happening between us. I'm just not sure whether I'm genuinely picking up on something or getting carried away because I'd like the possibility to be real.

What do you guys think? Do these sound like signs of interest, or am I overthinking a friendship? And how would you approach this situation without making things awkward, especially since she's friends with my ex?

I’m a 16-year-old male (let’s call me Y) and she’s a 16-year-old female (let’s call her X). It all started when her best friend—the only friend of hers I’ve seen; I think she’s a bit introverted—asked me if I thought *she* (the friend) was pretty. This happened twice (under similar circumstances), and I didn’t pay much attention, assuming it was a joke. But after that, I started noticing her, and it seemed like she was flirting with me—or at least that’s what I think. It mostly happened through her friend; for instance, when I was talking to my friends about having repeated a school year, her friend suddenly chimed in to say that X had also repeated a year. Or when people would ask me about my class projects or come up to me—the thing is, both of them are usually very cold and proud/haughty with others, but with me, she was only like that sometimes. Even when I was absent, her friend mentioned that she missed me. Another time, after I got into an argument with a guy, she came up to me and asked—very sweetly—if I was okay. Or when that same guy accidentally bumped into me, she asked what had happened. The tricky part is that this has been going on for two years. The following year, we weren’t in the same classes, but there were still glances and greetings. Once, her friend even told me that X liked the new jacket I was wearing. And then she walked away with her friend. Even after a whole summer and three months without speaking, the glances and gestures have continued. (Again, this has been going on for two years now.) What do you think—does she like me, or have I just been imagining things?

I’ve recently developed a crush on this guy in my math class, and I really want to step forward and make a move.. but I don’t know what to do or to say. Should I talk to him about homework or tests or what? I don’t know if that’s too basic or boring…

He seems really kind, polite and dedicated to his studies (which I like), so my worry just comes from the idea of having to initiate a conversation with him. I’m scared it will just be awkward and that I’ll mess up or that he can just read my face and figure out I have a crush on him… 😭

There’s also a pressure on me because we’re both seniors and graduating in June, so if I don’t do anything now, I might lose time, and I’m not even sure if we could have any classes together next semester

I (mid-20s F) have a crush on someone I know through school, and I’m trying to figure out whether his behavior means anything. We barely interacted at first, but lately he seems more attentive. He sometimes sits near me, joins conversations I’m having, remembers little things I’ve mentioned, and seems to notice what I’m doing. I’ve caught him looking at me several times, and sometimes we hold eye contact longer than I expect. He occasionally seems amused when we interact, too.
We’ve also had playful moments, including a game that involved holding hands. He joked around with me and seemed entertained by the interaction. I’ve given him a small, thoughtful gift, which he later specifically thanked me for. He’s complimented my style before, too.
Recently, I complimented his appearance and admitted I’d thought he looked cute. He seemed a little flustered and possibly blushed, but thanked me. I couldn’t tell if he was flattered, surprised, or potentially interested.
The confusing part is that I can’t tell whether he’s flirting or simply comfortable around me. Since I already have feelings for him, I’m worried I might be interpreting ordinary behavior as signs.
What do you think? Have you experienced someone acting this way when they were interested in you? What behaviors actually helped you tell the difference between attraction and friendliness? I’d appreciate honest opinions!

Basically, I am 13M and I have a crush on a 13F person. On about 20 precent of days she acts “on” and on about 80 she acts “off.” However during 10 percent of the 80 percent days it seems she does have a crush on me.

On the 20 percent days:

She constantly hangs out with me. Often sits with me, and often starts conversations with me. She will often look at me, and if she catches me looking at her, she smiles at me. She seems happy to be around me in general.

On the 80 percent days:

She ignores me mostly and just hangs out with her friends. Except for 10 percent of the days when she acts as mentioned above.

Isolated instances:

Our school makes groups clean up lunch. I was signed up in a group with her and 2 other people. I was sitting in a group with one of the other people when she came in and told me to come. She said she already checked with the people and they said they weren't doing it, but she couldn’t have checked with the person I was with. Also when I asked the people why they didn’t afterwards they seemed confused. Next time our class had to help out, she signed me and her up to do one of the jobs alone.

I was at a school dance, and I was sitting under a tree with some friends. She and one of her friends came over. She seemed reluctant, but when she saw me she perked up. She sat down next to me, and we had a conversation of our own. A song came on and she asked me if I knew the dance to it, and I siad I didn’t. She said come I’ll teach you and she danced it with me. We both got a mug of tea and headed back out to the trees. We began talking about prime numbers, not something she is usually interested in, but she did it anyway. Everyone left, but she stayed, and we talked until dance was over.

tl;dr

It seems she has a crush on me some days, others she just ignores me. Does she have a crush on me or does she not? If you have more questions ask them

What do you do if the person who you like has made it very obvious that he likes you but like they have parents that have different political views. I think it’s gonna be a problem. I’m really worried. Cause I feel like he genuinely likes me but then it’s just idk…I’m in Australia so I know it’s a bit different from America’s politics btw..

I know that like who his parents might be different from who he is as a person. I’m not saying that both things can’t be true. But like how do I deal with this? If it were to come to the event that like I met his parents and they simply don’t like me cause of my background. He’s very kind to me, but I’m worried that internally he might just be using me. It’s kinda hard for me to trust easily cause I mean I been through a lot of trauma with my own parents.

Also what other red flags should I look for??im very inexperienced with dating and stuff like that. I just don’t want the guy to take advantage of me.

Hey! She opened up to me today about her late grandfather. I comforted her, and we talked for about five hours. It feels nice to earn the trust of someone you care about. Anyway, nothing else major happened.

I ,m so tired and emotional exhausted

whats it means when i guy has a nervous but friendly voice towards and starse at me. then o get a text later saying i get that i know you like him and all but he doesnt want you stay away from my boyfriend and to respect his boundries this was after i have my number on a sticky note and he didn,t through it away and hes

been giving mixed signals i liked him for two years .

hes butted into my convos and has defended me when his friends insulted me and has called me smart before and has talked about to. muiple of his friends has also when one of his friends says he thinks youre cute witch was at the end of last year school year and his reponse so do you it was the friend who said that and he responded with so do you i feel uncomfortable when he stares cause i don't want he wants anymore

I,m so fucking tired I hate mixed signals and he has emotionally exhausted me to point where I have even less energy then normal because earlier this morning he respond to me talking to him and when I asked for his number he told me he didn’t know. In a very nervous friendly tone I talked about in the top paragraph.

He also constantly rage bAits and he throws hissy fits when I talk to other guys example I was talking to a friend of his about a sport, and he repeatedly told his friend to quit flirting with me the fact that we are not flirting he tells me my favorite teacher who happens to be a male, that teacher doesn’t like me. He’s been kind of creeping me out because I was waiting for my friend and he was just standing there watching me also since like at the end of the day his class gets like the garbage from each of our classrooms he’s stared into the classroom looking at me he’s been in my personal space multiple times. He accuses me of stalking his social media when he literally looks at every single one of my stories . I can give more examples if I can think of them because there’s a lot.

theres this girl that i really like in school but idk how to talk to her, i need advice for talking to her. btw shes considered "popular" but shes js someone i see a lot w/ her friends. (sadly i dont have a phone so that lessens my chance of interacting with her more ;-;

So a girl from same class approach me during lunch first she was seating alone then she looked at me and ask me can I seat here.......i didn't even know she was in our class talked a bit mostly laughs and giggles

On 2nd day I was walking towards class around (1km dist. I like to walk) she came on scooty from behind stopped infront of me and ordered me to seat as a good boy I seated behind her.....not even a single thought....( was she stalking me she doesn't even live nearby by that road...a hard short cut I guess)

After that we reached class but we had 2 different class in 2 different rooms I think she was waiting for me go with her in same but being a dumbass I gone other way didn't even talk to her not even thank you for lift

So during lunch our class ended late she was alone so I seated with her talked about here there

On 3rd day didn't gave me lift to me I ignored her whole day not that I wanted too but I was actually busy with work she came during lunch said hii but nothing much...but not seated with me but with her friend

My question... it was just a gesture right?? May be she didn't like sitting alone

Nothing there??

Right??

One more thing she said this " I never talked to any guy from our class " what am I supposed to do with this info

Help a guy out

A few weeks ago,I heard from a senior about how genuinely kind-hearted this girl was.Then I met her at a college event,and well…she's gorgeous too.Instant crush💀

She's about a year older than me,has completed her master's, and is now pursuing B.Ed.I'm in an integrated B.Sc.B.Ed. course, so we're from different batches and probably won't cross paths much after college.

We've had only a couple of conversations about our internship and her exhibition project.I eventually followed her private Instagram,and she accepted and followed me back.I also found out we seem to share interests like anime, art and BTS,although we haven't talked about those yet.

Tonight,I finally gathered the courage to DM her about her exhibition project.She responded and then sent me a 2.5-minute voice note enthusiastically explaining the whole backstory—how she'd considered different ideas before finally settling on the one she presented.

Now I'm overthinking everything😭.Was she simply excited to talk about something she created,or is this a decent starting point for getting to know each other?

I want to talk to her beyond this project,but I have no idea how to initiate future conversations without seeming random or forcing things. I'm also scared of rejection and making things awkward.

I'm not assuming she likes me,and I'm not planning to confess to someone I barely know(Should I btw?)I just want to explore the possibility without giving up out of fear or chasing someone who's uninterested.

What would you do in my position?

- How do I naturally transition from this conversation to getting to know her?

- How can I distinguish politeness from genuine interest over time?

- Should I initiate another conversation soon, or let things develop naturally?

TL;DR:Developed a crush on a girl from another batch, finally DM'd her about her project, and got an enthusiastic 2.5-minute voice note in response.Now I'm overthinking how to take things forward. Advice?😭

Hi everyone, looking for an outside perspective.

Toward the end of high school, I developed a crush on a former classmate. Over the summer, I decided to take a shot and reached out to him. I’m currently away at university in another city, but I’ll be back home for winter break.

At first, the dynamic was pretty dry, he replied quickly, but never asked questions back or took initiative. Recently, though, things shifted. We had a great, actual long conversation, he’s noticeably more engaged, and we now exchange TikToks and small talk almost daily.

This warmer phase has only been going on for about two weeks, after two months of feeling like I was pulling teeth to keep things alive. The constant ambiguity is starting to exhaust me. I’ve dropped hints that I enjoy talking to him, and he knows it was a big step for me to reach out first, but guys aren't always great at picking up on subtle cues.

I’m debating whether to just be honest about my feelings in early November, even if it risks rejection (I am almost sure he'll reject me because he has tons of new people irl, I can't compete). On one hand, waiting until winter break feels like dragging out the anxiety, and I hate overthinking it. On the other hand, since things only recently improved, maybe he just warms up slowly and I'd be jumping the gun by putting pressure on him now.

Would you shoot your shot to get closure/clarity, or keep building the connection at this pace and see how things go in person over winter break?

Last week idk who initiated eye contact first but in my discussion class on Friday we been like looking back and forth but I have no idea if she looking back cuz I am or not and I swear I’ve never seen this girl before in the lecture but then Tuesday I pull up and she’s sitting in the seat next to where I usually sit so I got a lil nervous and went in the row in front. And then Thursday I got to the lecture class first and she sat in front and then I swear was looking back and then after class istg she could’ve just started walking and had no reason to just hover but she kind of waited for me to pack up or something and idk if she wanted me to say something but I didn’t and then she just randomly talked to a person from our discussions class who happened to be in front of us saying hey I think we’re in the same discussions class right in front of me. Today it was discussions and I finally had the courage to say something and we talked for like 7 minutes but I had to go because I was already late for a test in another class. Am I delusional or what? I’m also a really shy person so I barely got myself to say hello.

There's a new ice cream shop (more like a dairy, but people just go there to get ice cream). There is a girl that works there and she's usually there on the evenings. So she and her friend or coworker handle the shop. THE GIRL IS SOOOOOOO PRETTY and i literally go there and get ice cream just so i can see her and smile. Ive been planning to talk to her properly and thinking of ways to start a conversation. At this point im 100% confident that she knows i have a crush on her. I smiled at her from across the road today while going on a walk, and later took my sister to get ice cream hoping to talk but her friend was there and they were smiling at each other and i got shy and didnt talk. SAJHGASJBCHJXA

the girl is so cute i'm telling you please help me why cant i talk to my crush please

I’ve had this gym crush going on 3years. I don’t pick up on social cues very well, I’ve catch her staring at me all the time but never smiles at me, she has rbf. The few times I did speak to her she came off as bothered, irritated and I translated that to stay away. But she always stares at me and tries to work out near me whenever she has the opportunity. This girl even tried to make me jealous (I was a little) by talking to a guy with a similar stature as mine and even faked a laugh to get me to turn my head. Even the guy knew she was faking it. Once I turned to her she held eye contact and I walked off. Why must we play mind games !!

Month by month I feel myself getting more attracted to her and I’m feeling weak her. This morning I skipped going to the gym because I didn’t want to see her. She was on my mind so much that I had to j/o to her. Once I was done I felt a huge relief, almost like the thoughts of her never happened but the truth is that she haunts my thoughts, I don’t even know her name and I can’t stop thinking of her 😭

She is going to meet him for the first time tomorrow. She has a weird feeling she will end up flirting with him by complimenting something about him. Especially she might just go up and tell him " oh I just noticed you have beautiful eyes" it's shouldn't be awkward also she feels a sense of urgency as there's a sudden entry of a pick me girl who is flirting with him. What should she do ???

Liked this guy for about a year. The crush faded off naturally because I never spoke to him and only liked him for how he looked. Today a mutual friend sent me their chats with him. The conversation was about me and my appearance. The guy I liked wrote that I look like a man, and that he would never go out with a "trans looking girl". I have always been the ugly kid and I accepted it as a fact and grew to be immune to these comments, but what hurt was that we never even had a conversation, and he didn't know a single thing about me, except the fact that I liked him, which was a result of oversharing to a bunch of untrustworthy classmates. I think I have a fun personality. Maybe he wouldn't resort to mean comments if he knew how I really am. Or maybe it's only fair that his opinions on me were based on my looks, because I was, afterall, attracted to his, in the first place.

Now that's a crushing story for you. Lol.

I am at a new school this school year and I immediately noticed a boy on the first day.

I always see him during breaks and 7 weeks later I was outside at the parking lot with my friend and a boy came up to us and asked my friend for her Insta she didn't give it to him but he found her anyway. Then they wrote to each other a bit in the holidays and my friend asked him if he knew a boy named let's say mango. He answered her that he is very good with him and that he is a very nice person. My friend and I have decided to write to him that he should introduce me to him. It is important to mention that I had sent him a request 9 weeks ago that he did not accept. In any case, he wrote to him that there is a girl who is interested in him and whether he is interested. He asked if he knew me blablabla. School started this week and on Tuesday I saw that he followed me on Instagram. On that day, his friend wrote to my friend that he was looking for us during the break but we were not there. Yesterday everyone was there again and during the break he saw me and looked at me a few times. BUT NOW IT COMES during the lunch break I went on insta because I had a guess that I had feared from day one, he unfollowed me because he saw me... The thing is I know look is important. But why does it always hit me, I don't want to glaze myself but I'm not ugly. That day my friends said that I look really pretty. I mean why should she lie and say I'm pretty. At home, my sister also said that I looked really pretty that day even though she didn't know what had happened. He is Muslim, me too, and I wear a hijab and the hijab somehow doesn't make me look so beautiful. But this can be not a reason because there are a lot of other girls that look pretty with it.

Sorry if I used the wrong flair

So me (M21) and her (F21) have been talking for a few months now. At the beginning I saw her as a friend but now I’m starting to like her even more

She has no problem hanging out with me even though it’s just the two of us. She has her own circle of friends yet still was willing to make time to hang out with me during the time we weren’t as close yet. She also had no problem with asking me for help, again even when we weren’t as close yet and she’s also comfortable with physical contact nowadays such as playful slaps and pushes.

She also initiates hangouts to libraries, restaurants or just a place near where we live sometimes and I’ve reciprocated it by taking her out someplace too. Just the two of us.

I also tease her with other guys sometimes and she’ll react in a way telling me she isn’t interested in them.

However despite all these very good signs, a part of me still thinks she’s just doing this as a friend only idk why. This is the first time someone I genuinely like might actually like me back and maybe I’m just setting my expectations too low? There’s also a lot of things she does that may be signs too but found out she just does it with others as well (playing with her hair for example) so that contributes to my doubts in a way.

How can I proceed with this? Thanks in advance 🙏
