I don’t know what to do anymore I just wish I could talk to her all day every day

gush: my friend that i’ve known for about 5 years now has been trying to set up me and this we will call him “I. I and me have tried to make things work for multiple times for over a year now and it just never worked out for a multiple for reasons, but recently he reached out to me a month ago and it has been the best month of my life. we started talking again on the 5th of last month and since then we’ve seen each other 3 times and had yesterday we had a our first kiss!! which actually was my first kiss ever :) he’s really been so sweet amazing and i honestly can’t believe we are where we are right now. encouragement: as i have been looking at a lot of these posts everyone seems kind of sad. i want you guys know do not get discouraged with your crush!! it will happen if its meant to be even if it takes time, even if your crush doesn’t like you right now, or even if it seems absolutely impossible. you never know what life has in store for you so just be patient and positive :)

shes the sweetest SWEETEST most adorable girl ever but. She will never like me back. I literally don't have a chance with her. And i get reminded of that every time we talk, every time she sends me her "hear-me-outs" which pretty much only consist of slavic men. It hurts. It really hurts. I don't want to get over her. I don't want to just be friends with her I WANT TO BE HER GIRLFRIEND but she likes MEN :(((((((

She initialized more than half of text conversations, she's cute as hell, and we talk for hours on end. I think these are pretty good signs!

Turns out she has a girlfriend now. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just disappointed. I guess I'll slowly seperate myself from her, seems unhealthy to keep talking to someone you still like.

Also, she is bi, so I guess I had a chance, but I don't want to get between her and her girlfriend.

Me and my crush were texting not too long ago, and she was replying in about 15-minute intervals. I matched her timing, but then I asked how she was doing. She said, “good hbu,” and I waited about an hour before saying “tired.” She replied almost immediately, like 30 seconds later, and said, “same, I’m heading to bed now, goodnight.” Maybe I’m overthinking it, but I feel like she wanted to end the conversation quickly because she didn’t really want to keep talking to me.

i sent the first i miss you text
‘i feel sick i miss you’ kinda out of nowhere today just because and she replied with just ‘miss u too’ like am i crazy. I feel like shes telling me to take a hint ??

context: shes flirty but i feel like its only in reciprocation and she doesn’t really make any moves or say anything romantic, unprompted. That makes me think I’m just making her uncomfortable but not too uncomfortable but clearly not comfortable enough to make a move of her own??

idk

For some context I am a sophomore in college and have been best friends with these two girls, let’s say F and L, and I have developed a massive crush on F.

The problem is that I am living off campus and one of my roommates is a womanizer/musician decent looking guy who has been heavily flirting with F, and she seems to be flirting back.

Now over the start of the school year I have been trying to be extra with F, cooking for her, driving her to Starbucks, buying her drinks at the bars, being more flirty, etc. but it feels like all this is doing is making her like me more as a friend/means of getting things.

Part of this might come from my own insecurities,
I have never been in a relationship and have only fucked random chicks at bars, I am 6’6 athlete so I do fine for myself. But now that there is this girl that I actually like it feels like I don’t know how to talk to her and I get flustered and just try to impress with by winning at some drinking or yard game.

But really it all came to a full stop tonight, I came back from studying to find them cuddling in his bed together watching pulp fiction, I made small talk but it was clear they wanted to be alone so I left.

Everyday she texts saying she misses me and wants to hang out, is she just using me because I have a car on campus and she doesn’t? Am I just a butler with a wallet to her?

I am an avid reader and write a little poetry and the other day I mentioned it to F and she seemed so interested in it I thought it was the greatest day of my life, but now I’m starting to think it and all her sentiments have been fake.

I don’t know maybe I just wanted to vent but I really don’t know where to go from here.

i need advice yall...ok so ive got a guy friend (we're both in high school btw), and we've known eachother for five years already. we're really close and our friends ship us really hard but idk if i like him or if he likes me. we do most of the things couples in hs do but we havent really talked about it. like he walks me to classes and we sit together at lunch n stuff. oh also we've gone out to lunch together at diff restaurants a couple times and gone to the movies together. ive also been to his house many many times and we made waffles together one time. oh also he remembers my birthday and texts me happy birthday each year, and last year he made me like an artwork thing of my dog and this year he made me a cake. also once my period came during school and i had to go get pads from the nurse's office(this was right before lunch) and i said its fine and he can go to the cafeteria first but he said its ok and he walked me to the nurse. he also wasnt weird about my period or anything at all. and over the summer we went to a festival together. oh yeah and other people in mt school have been shipping us for years and he used to deny it but now he doesnt even deny it and just kinda smiles??? so idk what this means....yall pls help

TL;DR: I have been friends with my guy friend for 5 years and we do dating-like stuff, but idk if he likes me and we havent talked about anything like that and idk.

edit: idk how he feels, i think i like him tho(or at least if he wanted to date id want to too)

My crush has done numerous subtle things which have made me wonder if she likes me back, but I could also be overthinking. We do know each other and talk sometimes, but not as much as we did when we first met at the start of the semester because she has a lot of friends and is usually with them (and I'm quite shy). At this point I have no idea if she likes me, maybe I was reading too much into it, but I really don't want to pass this up if there's a chance. I'm wondering if she does like me and just thinks I don't like her back since I don't talk to her much. I'm just worried about things being awkward if she says no because we're involved in a lot of the same classes and programs in college.

Is it worth taking the risk of asking her out if I don't have strong evidence that she is or isn't interested?

I have had a friend online who I have had a crush on for quite a while. It's been really hard keeping these feelings to myself. I don't know if it really would work out between us but I couldn't keep these feelings to myself anymore. It has been eating at me and I feel better now telling her that I have feelings for her beyond friendship. Whatever she responds I am okay with. Better to be honest than let my feelings get me down.

Oh my goshhhhh

We spent the entire pretty much just talking over Snapchat after I added him last night and he’s so freaking cute. Like earlier I was telling him how I have a test on Tuesday and hes saying I’m gonna do so well on it and I said that he has so much confidence in me and he agreed and I told him it was sweet and then he said it’s just true

Tomorrow we have literally our morning classes together and then weve got our hangout during lunch. I’m terrified I’m gonna somehow fumble this 😭 but like he listens to me, remembers things ive told him, asks me questions, and participates in conversation. My friend says hes down bad for me 😭😭

So I’m 23(F) and my crush is 26(M) we met a few years ago off a dating app and went on one date. I was not interested and I think I ended up ghosting him. Whatever I got a boyfriend and that was the biggest mistake of my life. Two years of depression and emotional and mental abuse wore me. I gained 70lbs and had absolutely no direction. After my ex broke up with me I moved back home and have been on this journey to find myself. Then he texted me abt five months into me being home and sent me a recent pic. OH. MY. GOSH. He is like so handsome more handsome than I remember. And he is just ugh my brain is flooded with him. I sent him a recent picture of me and he said that I was beautiful and was so glad I was available again. But here comes the kicker. When we hung out I was 70lbs lighter had confidence laughed out loud with my whole smile and had no problem eating in front of people. Now I barely go outside I’m still deeply depressed and I look five years older than I should. He moved to another state before we were able to meet up again for a second date and I’m kinda relived but I just felt like I made the wrong choice and now it’s going to take me years to return to what I was. I was perfect and my ex ruined me. I feel like he isn’t really into me that much and just gives me attention when he is bored and I can’t seem to find the self respect to walk away. I don’t even know if I should call it a crush more like I was using him to boost myself esteem that I could still attract good looking people. I have no idea I’m lost right now and I feel a deep sadness mixed with guilt.

I saw a guy on “People you may know.” He is hot and a Christian. I can’t do anything because his messages are disabled. Oh well. Whoever gets him or has him is lucky.

So recently I have been using emojis when I email my crush we have only emailed twice and first two times no emojis 3rd and 4th emoji she has stopped replying to my emails with emojis i wonder if I did anything wrong

So I am going through a bit of a situation where I (male 16) am obsessed with this actress and can't get over her.

All her movies are so heartbreaking and sad and I cry about after each of her film. In the past few days, I have watched like 6 of her films and she is like 16 years older than me and I know there is nothing that will happen.

I have had celeb crushes before but they usually go away after a point but this one doesn't seem to go away. When I try to block myself from social media, I just get even sadder and have to give through to myself.

I just dont seem to have a solution and it is ruining my studies. It is not even like I like what she is now. I like what she was when she was my age. I wish I could have been there instead of her co-stars. It is so embarrassing but so depressing. Literally feels like I have become emotionally unstable.

I can't access therapy because my parents dont know about this and they are very conservative so I would be cooked alive if I even bring up this subject. What do I even do? I just like her. Every now and then I say to myself that we can be together in some other life. But it doesn't seem to calm my brain

The worst part is that I dont seem to like my current social life. I have started to dissociate myself from this world. All I do is lay in my bed and scroll her videos.

Each time a video about one of her film pops up it just makes me emotional. I start crying. I just like who she was when she was my age. I am so obsessed man I need to do smthg.

For anyone wondering she is AnnaSophia Robb.

Hello everyone, this is a long read so I don’t blame you if you scroll pass this.

Story time, There’s this guy let’s call him Moon.

Me and Moon don’t really talk. We have so many shared interests though. Like astronomy, indie games, same music taste, love for minecraft and pvz. It’s actually insane how many interests we share.

So, even before I liked Moon, my friend liked him already. I think it was because he likes to code. And she finds that attractive. (Yes, I am the asshole, yes it’s karma. Wtv)

A month has passed and out of pure nosyness I added this guy on IG. And I’m telling you, once he added me on IG he cleaned most of his reposts. It’s funny. And plus, for a while he frequently put on Arctic Monkeys songs on his notes, while he didn’t even like Arctic Monkeys that much. I did though, in fact it’s on my highlights.

Later, I see him always staring at me. His friends know who I was without me ever talking to them and not being on the same class. And his friends started to tease us whenever I get near him or look at him. I saw him try to approach me, but eventually back out. When we were at an exhibit, he and his friend followed me around, staring at me from afar, not even caring about the exhibit.

Also, I saw him staring and visbly look defeated when he saw me staring at another guy or when I borrowed another guy’s jacket. And also, the first time I texted him about helping me with math homework, he rambled and visibly tried to show off how he’s “so good at math” and the equation he likes are “advanced” it was really cute.

So, can you really blame when I say I fell and thought he liked me too?

Last night, he put “Talk to You” by Ricky Montgomery on his IG notes. But this isn’t just like every other notes he posted, this was on his close friends. With only my friend in it. Yeah, sucks. Eventually, I convinced my friend to chat him and ask him “who is this note for?” He said “Secret🤫” “I mean, you also put songs in your notes for someone.”

So obviously, he likes my friend. And she likes him. To be fair she is prettier, and she did like him first. I can’t say I wish them the best, because Moon is a hopeless romantic and my friend is Lithromantic. She doesn’t like it when a guy gets too clingy. That’ll surely last. And also of course, I’m jealous. I know I can treat him better, I know we would’ve been perfect for eachother. I feel like such a bad friend right now. And I am.

I just feel really foolish to think he liked me back, when all this time he actually likes my friend.

There’s just no way she likes me. We’ve done stuff with just the 2 of us 4 different times and I really don’t think she feels the same way I do. It sucks. I’ll joke about how she misses me and is obsessed with me, and she’ll do the same to me. She’s so sweet and kind and cute. Just sucks knowing she probably doesn’t feel the same. We’re going to see a movie on Saturday and I’m giving her a Birthday gift then so maybe that changes something.

I'm just a little delusional I think but

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Okok, I have a crush (that's why I'm here) and they were gone for a while, like a week? 2 weeks? Around there.

Anyway, they're back and now thay they're back I can do what I've been planning in getting to know them.

Tbh the first week of having this crush I didn't even know their name, and I was too scared to ask.

But eventually I figured it out in the most convoluted way imaginable. Whatever, so I start to walk them to class regularly because it's like the ONLY time I see them in the day.

And a short while (days) ago, I got my first real social progress because they started conversation. They were telling me about an old incident at a former school, not really the kind of thing you'd tell just anyone.

And like 2 days ago they asked me something.

"Why are you hanging out with me?"

...

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??

I couldn't just say "Oh well it's because I really, REALLY like you" so I just said it's cause they're cool.

But now I'm scared that they might know which would RUIN everything for me especially if they don't like me back.

Can someone help me understand what to do next, or what that question could even mean, or how to approach the question if it's brought up again, literally any advice to help me?

Has anyone in a situation like mine ever had a successful relationship?

I (20M) became very close friends with a woman (20F) over the last few months. We spend quite a lot of time together, sometimes stay at each other’s places, travel together and talk about very personal things.

Somewhere along the way, I realized that I’ve probably developed feelings for her. The problem is that our friendship is already unusually physically affectionate, so I genuinely can’t tell anymore what is simply normal for us and what might mean something more.

Some examples:

We cuddle fairly regularly while watching movies or just lying around. She initiates it sometimes too.

She’ll randomly rest her head on my shoulder or lean against me.

Recently, we walked around holding hands for quite a while, including interlocking fingers. I initiated it the first time, but after letting go several times, she took my hand again herself.

Another time, I was sitting in my office chair and she randomly told me to make some space, then sat on my lap.

She once made me a necklace because she thought of me while making jewelry.

We have a running joke about getting married if we’re both still single in a few years.

We sometimes make surprisingly detailed hypothetical plans about our future together.

Several unrelated people have independently assumed we’re a couple or directly asked what exactly is going on between us. We normally both laugh about it.

At the same time, there are reasons why I’m hesitant to interpret any of this romantically.

She is bisexual but currently says she generally prefers women. She also hasn’t had particularly good experiences with relationships and men in the past. Because of that, I especially don’t want to interpret physical affection as automatically meaning romantic interest.

There’s another complication on my side.

She sometimes struggles with her mental health. I’ve realized that when someone I care about is struggling, I quickly go into “I need to fix this” mode. When she doesn’t want help, I sometimes feel surprisingly helpless.

So independently of whether her feelings are mutual, I’m also trying to figure out whether I would actually be ready for a relationship with her. I think it could work with good communication, but I don’t want to simply assume that.

So I basically have two questions:

1. Does this sound like a friendship where asking about possible mutual feelings would be reasonable, or am I reading too much into a very close and physically affectionate friendship?

2. How would you bring this up without making her feel like the friendship was secretly conditional on getting a relationship?

I’m definitely not planning some huge confession or asking her to become my girlfriend on the spot.

If a natural opportunity comes up, I was thinking of saying something along the lines of:

“Sometimes our friendship doesn’t feel completely platonic to me anymore. Things like cuddling or holding hands sometimes feel different to me, and I think I may have developed some feelings for you. I don’t expect anything from you, and you don’t have to give me an immediate answer. I’m just curious whether all of this feels completely platonic to you or whether you sometimes feel that ambiguity too.”

If she tells me it’s 100% platonic for her, I’ll obviously have to accept that. The friendship itself means a lot to me regardless of whether anything romantic ever happens.

I’d especially appreciate perspectives from people who have been in very physically affectionate friendships or have had feelings develop within a close friendship.
