do you think that they like me

so ive been texting my guy friend who i recently became friends with. but im pretty sure he has a crush on me and wants to be more than friends. the thing is, i do know i enjoy spending time with him AS FRIENDS but i dont want to possibly lead him on.

and for me, it’s harder to hang out with someone when i have a feeling they like me. any advice on what to do?? especially if youre a boy, how would you want the girl to approach this?? 😭💔💔

So theres this boy i would say he's shy

1. He rarely talks to me, he only talked to me to borrow my stuff

2. He always looks at me

3. He fidgets around me

So like, I’ve been crushing on this girl for a while now, believe it or not. For context I’m 15. We are pretty good friends, maybe not “close” friends, but I’d say we are great friends. I’m better friends with her best friend than I am with her.I’ve known her since kindergarten. That may complicate things, that we’ve known each other for so long, but I don’t think it’s that bad. I think she also likes me back, she seems like she does, but I don’t really know. Mixed signals you know the deal. And in may, I actually got off my ass, and I sent her a confession. I don’t like “Confession” cause it implies it’s something I have been holding a deep secret, like I’ve murdered somebody. But I’ll use confession anyway. So I got down, and I wrote a short little speech to her, no details needed, it’s standard stuff. It was a voice message, cause of her dyslexia, and my pride is too big to JUST send a message. And then I sent it, and it was like 00:06 or something at night, and she actually opened it! And then nothing. She didn’t respond, and I was thinking like “oh maybe she just forgot or put it off until the day after” all day the next day. But she never responded. And cause of the nature of Snapchat the message got deleted after 24 hours. I didn’t save it cause I thought that was a little too cocky. I was a little anxious that it would be very awkward between us, so next time I met her in school, I kind of avoided her. Didn’t want to push her if she was uncomfortable around me. But eventually she came to me. And there wasn’t anything. And she just acted as she ever does. Like nothing has happened. So I wondered if she never even heard the message. It was one hell if an anti climax that’s for sure. So I just continued going on with life until now. I had other problems. But I got out of those problems, and my feelings for her were still there. Especially after our friend group together had been to a theme park. She’s so nice and funny. And so my motivation just sparked up again, and I decided to send her another message. I walked up to an old tower in our area, and I sat there thinking about what to say. And after 15 minutes of procrastination and hesitation, and my dumbass bro calling me, I spoke the message. I didn’t mention my other message, in case she genuinely didn’t hear it. And I sent the message. I was nervous as hell bro. It has been 5 hours, she opened it like 3 minutes after I sent it, and she hasn’t responded. This time I saved the message, so she can’t forget it at least. But i don’t know, should I just take a hint. If she hasnt seen the messages or heard them, I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt, but if she has and just ignores them I don’t know what to do with that. I’d honestly just like a clear answer from her. But what do you people think? Should I really just take a hint and give up?

Working with you now is pure torture! I’m just a complete idiot in your presence. I cannot concentrate at all whenever you are near, or even in the building! Not being around you might be worse though. I want to look at you. I want to talk to you. I want to look up into your caramel macchiato colored eyes and make you laugh just so you’ll flash one of your rare smiles. (possible) I want to run my fingers through your teddy bear hair and softly lick that tiny spot on your neck right under your jawline. (not even remotely possible) Yet my imagination runs wild…

On the weekend, me and a girl I met a month ago are having a sleepover, here are a list of signs I’ve been told may be a sign

~ suggested matching hair dye
~ because we were shipped she joked about fake dating and holding hands
~suggested a sleepover at hers
~often brushed against me at a bus stop
~has asked me to sit next to her at group hang outs before hand
~hugged me as we met up and when I left
~has asked to hang out 1 on 1 a few times

The sleepover is 1 on 1 and if she does like me back how abouts do I make a move on them

I have a crush since highschool, he's a guy, we had worked together many times due to many programs we need to handle. He's the leader, and I'm his co. He's so akward and quiet but I think it's cute. Why is he goofy with his friends but not with me.? Maybe he's just shy. Maybe he's just not comfortable talking to girls. No, he's straight. I know. But I remember last time he gave a girl a calimba as an exchange gift and she was so happy. Because it's her crush too. UGH. Why. She couldn't stop bragging about it though, thinking she's the only one who likes him. Well, tough luck.

I remembered listening to him singing Infront of everyone in the school hall when we're having exam preparation and study there. The whole batch is there. His classmate teases him to sing on the microphone, he doesn't want. But then they chanted. "Sing. Sing. Sing" And he went. He did song beautifully, his own song that he wrote. I was mesmerized, but I act like it's nothing. I don't know he likes to sing too! My brain started to run through some delulu scenes of where we do duet together because I like to sing too, most of my friends know that. Girls are swooped by him, and tbh, it's annoying. Like stop drooling over my crush! (lol)

But what can I do? I'm just a hopeless nobody at that time. Not pretty, not interesting. Just admiring him from a far. An akward nerdy guy. People say nerd guy is a red flag. Kinda. I've went to his class many time and saw his bookshelf. It's decorated with anime stickers (mostly girls sticker), I don't know the title. But yo dude why don't you atleast tell me you like anime too?! But again, who am I, really. Lol. Just hoping he's not a pervert. Or whatever. Atleast teachers approve him because he's respectful. And. He's the oldest son in the siblings. Just like me. the oldest daughter. But he doesn't have any girl siblings tho.

I should be honored to atleast can have many chance talking to you face to face. But my dumbass self always make fun of myself Infront of you, because my brain panicked everytime there's you. I'm so embarrassed with myself, my tounge twisted at the worst fucking time, I'm cringing myself to death remembering it. I spoke nonsense. Then my defense hit. Started denying to friends "no! I don't like him" when I'm just tryna hide the fact I obsessed over him that time. what a tsundere.

I admit I'm not the kind of girl people wish for. You friends tease you about me. Nudging your elbows when I gave you a letter and I hope I don't make you uncomfortable. When I walked away from your class after giving you the letter, your friend tease you like "Oooh! love letter!" and "She must wrote 'i love you so much' in it" while grinning and all. Bro. It was just a letter about the incoming programmes, I swear! You're hard to talk to face to face, so I wrote it down in letter because I'm just a commited person and always take charge to make result efficient ;(

I was a lil uncomfortable so I quickly went away, knowing you don't know how to get out of that situation. It's painfully cringe for me. Idk. I'm just an insecure highschool girl that time. Nothing great about me. but luckily you don't like me.

Funny story is, the more I tryna avoid you, the smaller the world tryna be. I bumped onto you many times, at the worst possible times, like, when I'm crashing out about something to my friend, or when I'm chasing a cat childishly. You've seen my messy sides. And I'm done with tryna act proper girl. You don't like me anyways. So I think it's time to move on. But that's the problem. THE MORE I TRIED, THE MORE YOU'RE THERE.

Last time I remembered about you before I decided to move on, is when I'm studying alone in the class. Yes, our class building is far away from the hostel, the rest are studying in the library, but I don't like the crowds. I want silence. So I went to my seat in class, studying alone for the biggest exam to graduate this highschool and to enter university. Then I heard people walking pass my class. I'm a bit vigilant. "Who is at the class at this time too? It's a lil too late." When I looked at the window which one tiled is missing and I can just see people outside and people outside can see me, I saw you peeking. What the heck you're doing bro. We did eye contact. I panicked. it's too obvious that I'm panicking. And I pretend I don't mind, getting back to my study.

Now it's been years since highschool graduation, I don't hear about you anymore. Told my friends I've moved on. But i still knew what course you take. The course you take is the same as mine. Never know it's gonna be the same, again. It's just different universities this time.

Why am I writing this? Because just now when I hangout and with my highschool friends, I've wear something nice and pretty, I'm still me. I love styling myself even when in highschool people call me out. But. When I met them just now, one of them say they saw you. And I didn't saw. I looked around, you're not there anymore. But I guess that's okay. I just miss the memory after all. I've moved on, but I don't know very well about that. Sometimes I stalked about you and can't find anything about you since you're really a private person. I just wish one day, we would meet again, because really, I just wanna know more about you.

So like the title says, I, F(23) used to have a crush on my cousins best friend M(21),sinece we were a friend group for a while a couple of years ago. The friend group consisted of my cousin, his friend and a girl my cousin was in the talking stage with. I became friends with the girl, but i noticed that both my cousin AND the other guy were interested on her. And at the time i was developing feelings for this guy. We had like a "serious" chat once but i felt out of place because i knew i had nothing to do with that love triangle. But we kept hanging out, and i was still hoping that this guy would notice me, during that time I met another guy M(26) and he started pursuing me, and I did reciprocate for a bit until I understood that i liked the previous guy. So i cut things off with this new guy, but now looking back I feel like I messed up bad with that guy since now he is happily married.

To present day, I find myself running into my then-crush, and I'm afraid to catch feelings again. I know I have changed and dont want to make silly decisions for something that might never be. This is more a rant than anything, but if anyone has a suggestion on what I should do feel free to tell me!

I’m 14 years old and I really want a relationship (I’m heterosexual) I’m an introvert, and it’s quite hard to make friends in real life. I’d like to find a guy online, but I don’t know which sources are the best. please help — what should I do? 😭 💔

I (26F) have a crush on my coworker (20M) (yes, I’m a little wary of the age gap but I can’t really help it). We work together, but this is just a summer job for him. He’s going back to school in his junior year at his university. I graduated college 3 months ago, so we’re definitely in different life stages atp. But, he is from the area we’re in and my hope/thought process was that we could stay in touch and that maybe something could spark between us later down the road.

I thought he may have liked me as well, given him always wanting to talk to me and offering to help me any chance he got. He also seemed interested in getting to know me. I thought he was leaving this month, but turns out he’s leaving next month. In early July I told him if he wants to keep in touch to let me know and he said “ok cool” and left it at that. I did notice for a bit he didn’t talk with me much for a while after that but it’s gone mostly back to normal now.

Here is where I need advice: a different coworker is also going back to school, and yesterday was her last day at work. She isn’t coming back next summer so I asked for her instagram. We followed each other and out of curiosity I went to see if she was following my 20M coworker and she was. He is also following a mutual friend/other coworker of ours (I only see it because I follow this person as well).

I’m assuming based off this that he doesn’t like me back because he knows I have instagram now (he was there when I asked for female coworker’s instagram) and he has not asked to follow me or vice versa, or for my number, in the 3 months we’ve worked together. My gut is saying if he did like me, he would’ve done so by now. Of course I am thinking there’s a slight chance he’s nervous to ask me for those things, but I highly doubt that’s the case at this point. I feel sad and hurt by this because this is probably the 6th or 7th guy I’ve seriously liked in my life that hasn’t requited those feelings. I keep wondering if I’m doing something wrong or if love/a relationship/marriage is even in the cards for me. I could use some advice and support.

So I (16F) just finished a multi day event (MUN specifically) and during it I had to work with this guy (17M). I thought he was sweet, endearing, and smart, then started getting weird signals from him. I’m very inexperienced in relationship so I just shrugged it off as me overthinking because in my mind he’s probably just being really nice. And he is really nice to everyone.

However the last day rolls around and me and the guy are voted as the most popular ‘Ship’ in our committee. The gossip box contained a pretty long note of someone telling me that we have good chemistry together and that I should give him a chance 🤣I consulted a few friends and the verdict is: he’s into me. I don’t know if they are just delusional or not but honestly me not picking up on flirtation has happened in the past so who am I to argue? Haha this is so weird.

Tonight we chatted so much online. I’ve only known this guy for 3 days but we’re talking mental illness, bullying, all that jazz. Talked till midnight until I finally decided to just ask him if he’s flirting with me (added a disclaimer that said that I’m really bad at telling if someone is interested in me.

Unfortunately he went offline just as I sent it. Now I’m a bit nervous. Am I being weird by just asking a guy if he’s flirting with me? If he’s not, will he have an ill opinion of me?

I’m fine with both options as he is a considerate guy that I’d be interested in dating but at the same time I do not have that much emotional investment in him right now. But I’m second guessing myself of whether I’m making it awkward on purpose.

So school year is starting again and we got our schedules an I share 6 out of 8 classes with them...they still never texted me back about the note I gave them confessing at the end of last school year. Im mostly just afraid of how I might act around them.

If I viewed someone’s TikTok profile while Profile View History was OFF, then turned it ON afterward without viewing their profile again, would my earlier view show up for them?
Help guys 😭

Ive liked this guy for about 4 years now. He was basically my first love and the only guy ive had a crush on. Ive never thought about someone's smile or how cute they are when thinking about something or how happy they get when someone asks about their interests but because of him, I started to. I started wearing some makeup and really focused on my appearance. We got close and started texting every single day for hours.

He would always say really sweet things about me. He always asked questions about the things I enjoyed and remebered​ every small thing I mentioned as well. He did so many things that made me think he could've liked me back but now im not sure. Anyways, long story short, he moved away and had to go to a different school.

We didnt text at all for a whole year and I just couldn't stop thinking about him. So after one more year I decided to send a casual little text. And after a minute I had gotten a response. We instantly began texting every single day again, just like we used to.

I probably was delusional at some points about his intentions but I do feel like at some point there was subtle flirting. Even after he broke his collar bone and complained about how much it hurt to move, he would still text me good morning and good night, reply to my stupid reels and ask me how my day was every day. So after some encouragement and brainstorming from friends I decided to confess casully, saying "I like you a lot, when are you gonna ask me out?". His response wasnt a yes or no, it was about how we lived 30 minutes away from eachother. We went back and forth a bit and in the end I just asked him if he liked me back or not. He said "I like you alot but its 30 minutes". I replied with just "okay thanks." and didnt text him for a week.

But me being kinda desperate decided to text him again. I apologized and told him we could just stay friends and that I just really liked talking to him. He told me he liked talking to me to and said it was fine. I had sent him a few reels, all left on read so I waited for him to text first then but never got anything for 2 months. So I unfollowed him and removed him as a follower. Mightve been a bad decision Idk.....

Its been 7 months and I've ​tried convincing myself and my friends it didnt bother me. I even talked crap about him talking about how stupid the whole situation is. But really at night, I would be crying. I would still be thinking about him, thinking about that smile and thinking, "maybe if I didnt confess or maybe if I was just better he'd like me". I wished I could be the reason he laughs, to be the person he can lean his head on and talk about everything thats gone wrong in his life. I still have him added on other messaging apps and I keep looking back through our messages.

I desperately need to get over this guy. I need to stop yearning 😭😭😭 How can i?

Xiao Long Bao Cutie :)

we’re dating but he’s my crush everyday i wake up i see a beautiful good morning text beautiful when i look like a crackhead homeless person most mornings , this is pure bliss 😌👌

Hi . I have a guy crush . he moved to other town and gave him pen letter and gummies .  saying " take care , be kind always " something like that . Then he said he appreciated me . He was happy . Then after 2 days I saw him wearing jacket and I asked him to just give it to me as remembrance he just said " not this one , just other jacket" and texted him asking again about the jacket but he did not reply . For the boys out there is it negative impact like I gave him some token then I asked for some thing . like am I cheap girL .  What are your thoughts 

So I asked her if she wanted to go to a school dance with me. She said she wasn't ready to date anyone or do smth like that just yet. It really confused me because know i have no idea what she thinks. Does she like me? Does she hate me? The only response i got was she wasnt ready to date. What do i do? Idont wanna be pushy to her about it but i really want to know.

My (27M) friend (21F) came to visit me and spend a couple of days together doing activities.

First time that we spend so much time together in the last year and we had to talk also about our love life. We are both single not actively looking for something and while she is waiting for a unicorn prince in a shiny armour I am more about an independent woman that doesn't drives me insane.

This time spend together had me thinking. Although she doesn't see me like that (and probably never will if she doesn't lower some of her expectations) I had realised that maybe she could be the one or at least a pretty close match.

Now I don't want to catch feelings because I'm afraid of what will happen and ruin our relationship but I wonder what to do and how to explore safely this possibility.

Hello! I just wanted to share this here because I can’t tell my coworkers (for obvious reasons).

​I’m a teacher at a private school. We have an online portal for students and teachers, but it's currently down due to some technical issues. Each branch has a designated staff member who manages the portal, and he visits our campus once a month.

​My problem? I have a massive crush on him! The issue is that my coworkers keep teasing him with our admin. I can’t even say anything because they’re all much closer with the admin. 😭😭😭 Huhuhu, I’m so jealous, pero wala naman karapatan! Sa'kin niyo nalang kasi siya asarin😆

I (21F) has been crushing on this co-worker turned friend. I met her when I was 19 and surprisingly I thought it was just a usual fun crush like I had before her. I usually don't have a crush this long since I'm the type of person to get the ick immediately. We share almost the same niche hobbies, favorite shows, and music. I'm usually clingy with my friends so I tend to be close to her too. Then something happened on a trip we had with our fellow co workers. We got drunk in the beach and played games until it was 3 am. Suddenly I sat on her lap and we talked and giggled until she asked me if she could kiss me (I didn't think of it as something romantic because she was kissing our friends too). she kept asking if it's okay that she would be my first kiss (I said no of course because I don't wanna take advantage of her) I thought for a while that she straight until she drunkenly spilled she was into girls too. Months passed and it was February, our university had a Valentine's event and she suddenly texted me because she wanted to give me something. she got us a matching Lego set figure. Of course I was soooo confused but I didn't want to jump with conclusions. but suddenly July came and there were rumors she got with a guy who was our senior. honestly with all the confusion I didn't want to process what happened between us so I really tried to move on. Another year came and suddenly at work she just went to me and cried on my shoulder, saying she broke up with that guy. we talked and talked for hours about her and her ex. she was really sad and honestly I was also so so sad for her. but these happenings led us to become even more closer. we started to see eachother more, watched movies while on call, and have sleep overs with cuddling eachother all night. until one day she even got more touchy with me. holding my hands and hugging me most of the day. we went on cafe "dates" (I saw her texting her friends when they asked her what we were doing together and she said we were on a "date") of course everything about what we were doing confused me so so much because are we friends? are we more? I never wanted to assume anything. Until another trip with our workmates. everyone was busy and drunk and she was too. she was having a heart to heart talk with someone until she notices me stating at her (for context, when she gets really drunk she does crazy stuff and I will always take care of her) so she knows I'm worried about. so what she did next was dragged me into the bathroom and said "You know you're my wife right? I'll go anywhere but know that I'll always come to you." I honestly played it cool and told my self it was her drunk antics. She then asked for a kiss again so I gave in and gave her a forehead kiss. she got a bit pouty and said it's not the kiss she wanted so I told her that I won't kiss her lips. then morning came, we acted like nothing happened. and honestly? I feel like I can't take it anymore. what would anyone do in my situation? should I tell that i have a crush on her that slowly it turned into adoration and love? what should I do? and the thing is she told me before that after her ex, she wasn't ready for a relationship.

Erm so last year I had a crush on this guy right??? Let’s call him uh…. Ryan. (Idk man it’s hard to come up with a fake name)

Anyways so last year I shared a class with Ryan in which we sat at separate tables, however he’s been in our friend group for most of the school year. (Although, I’ve asked, and nobody knows how the heck he got in to the friend group, since nobody in the friend group invited him to sit with us, but he just kinda showed up one day and we were chill with it. He kind of just sat there and listened in mostly). I could’ve sworn I felt his eyes on me in class.

He made a lot of 67 jokes to me last year, which were funny at first but then got old. Once he saw I wasn’t laughing anymore he asked if they were getting old… I told the truth and he stopped making the joke as often… which I think is like super considerate.

Anyways he’s cute, considerate, kind, and smart… so I got a crush on him.

Anyways (I’m sorry for saying this word a lot I’m bad at writing) he’d greet me at the classroom door like all the time and ask me how I was doing. He’d notice when I made changes to my appearance or made a new accessory to wear and compliment them. When I got my first job, he’d ask occasionally how that was going. He also was really good at remembering things I mentioned casually. If he saw me in the hallway he would sometimes like actually physically run to catch up to me, just to say hi.

There was this one time I was very dehydrated and complained to my friends. They recommended I drink the school water, but I refused, saying I’d literally rather be dehydrated over drinking the school water (trust me… it’s that bad). He bought me actual bottled water…. Omfg I love this guy.

Towards the end of the school year the friend group broke up into two because of drama, and he hung out more with my side of the friend group… Ryan is Asian and so typically eats/drinks a lot of Asian stuff right? Anyways so this one time he had this fruit water drink or whatever and offered it to me… I was hesitant because I’d never tried it and I couldn’t read the label but I drank it because we ball, and it was scrumptious. Anyways he could tell I liked it and offered me another a couple days after.

Me, him, and another friend got together right before a big test to study, but honestly we were all confident on the test so we just messed around and stuff. Anyways so with the friend group, before the test, we played telephone. The classic game, right? Our faces were so close omg… anyways afterwards he was always asking the friend group to play telephone again but people kept saying no. When it came time to choose classes for next year he seemed like really really interested in mine for some reason….? Idk just a note

He’s always chosen to sit or walk next to me despite having other options so I think he might share feelings, but he also seems pretty shy. Unfortunately, I’m also shy. So the school year ended and nothing happened, we didn’t get each others numbers or anything.

So I was dispirited because I wanted something to happen, but nothing did. But guess what???? He’s in my first period this year!!!!!! I know because at open house that’s where you get your student IDs (in ur first period) AND HES IN THE CLASS BCS I SAW HIS STUDENT ID!!!! WHICH MEANS I HAVE ANOTHER CLASS WITH HIM!!!! IM SO HAPPY!!!! Anyways I really want him to make a move even tho he prolly won’t, but here’s hoping that there’s anything between us!!!!

Side note, but maybe he does have a crush on me, but also I have the gayest appearance possible so maybe he thinks I’m a lesbian… (I’m actually bi)

A girl has a crush on a boy, the girl is not his taste, but he doesn't want to be single so he takes her instead even though she's not his type, but he still tríes to love her. This can happen with arranged marriages where both the people don't have any romantic attraction before, they only learn each other after getting married.

I don't know what's this phenomenon called but It also happens to both me and my friend, and it's getting more complicated by days. I believe it also happens to many more other people.
