Hiiiii

1. I really liked a guy last year. We texted but it never got interesting. Often, he just stopped replying. He told me he just wanted to be friends. We kinda stopped talking. He was also waiting for his ex to come back from a break in the relationship. She secretly didn't want him back. They never got back. He became really lonely, didn't go to prom, not even with friends! He graduated. I got over him.

2.) In the fall, he went to my 1st choice university. I asked him for help in apps, programs, etc. When I got accepted & chose to go there, suddenly we texted a lot more & he started more convos out of the blue & asking how I was. We had some really deep, interesting, funny convos. I kinda like him again. He hasn't made a lot of friends in college (really quiet guy)... I think he's still lonely...

3.) There have been a lot of both real incidences and '"coincidences" recently that make me thinkkkk he's paying more attention to me than before when I had the big crush on him. Probably shouldn't read into the "signs" though lol. So here is the question. Have things changed? Also, it seems that after I stopped liking him/talking to him/seeming less available, he seemed more into me. Should I play a little hard to get to get myself completely out of the friendzone? But...... do you think I'm his "last resort"?

Texting him used to be like pulling teeth and I was clingy. He friend-zoned me in February. We stopped texting for a while. He went to college, the same one I am going to next year. The girl he thought he was getting back with didn't want him back, he didn't make a lot of new friends in college and he became lonely.

We started texting again when I applied and got accepted there. Now he starts a good portion of convos out of the blue and they're are exciting, interesting, and deep. I haven't replied to the last text yet. If I play hard to get, can I gain the upper hand and get him to chase me? It's shallow but I think it would work. I need him to know I won't accept being his replacement or "last resort" when he's lonely even if I have feelings for him.

He's really sweet but we don't have a lot in common except for orchestra. i think he has a little crush on me too but i also think he/the situation can be kinda boring? esp through texting.

Like "how was ur weekend?" "ok"

hmm. but he texts me good morning :) and starts the convo like half the time, his replies are just really short and don't give a lot to work with, even in real life it can be like that ( a lot less though)

My bff told me she was sure that she heard a conversation where my crush (also my friend) said I was "clingy" and had "overreacted" about something- behind my back. My friend texted me as it was happening "I hate your 'crush' SO much right now!" and then called me for an hour to tell me about it.

When I talked to my crush said he "never said those things" and that I "hadn't overreacted at all", and he explained why she might have misunderstood it. But my bff said she was 100% sure "clingy" and "overreacted" were about me, and those words are kind of hurtful.

I trust my bff a lot, but one time she thought a guy was cheating on her and she "absolutely hated" him, but when I talked to him, and he said he didn't and explained how it was a misunderstanding.

Backstabbing crush OR dramatic bff?

(Replacing real names)

He was my first "puppy love", Jackson: 3rd-6th grade. In 5th grade, I went to his house Mondays and Thursdays for a few months for robotics and we went to the same school, but we never became friends and we still don't talk.

I'm a junior in high school now. Jackson and my friend Joanne are BF and GF. My BFF, Haylie had a sleepover with Joanne a few weeks ago, where, ACCORDING to Haylie, Joanne said that Jackson's first childhood crush was me!!! and Joanne thought it was the cutest thing ever. But it's weird to me because Jackson never said anything to me about it, even though he knew I liked him? I could not keep it off my mind today and it made me think about him a lot again... weird right?

If -and only if- Jackson and Joanne break up by next year, do you think it would be okay to try to get to know Jackson better? Is it possible he could "remember" his feelings for me? If you were in his shoes, would you give me a chance and be flattered? Or is it weird bc it's from soooooo long ago?

Would you still give your CHILDHOOD crush a chance?

We're friends, but we haven't hung out. He hangs out with almost all girls (also kinda my friends) but he isn't gay (I like JUST figured that out). I kinda wish I was as close to him as they are, like they flirt with him a lot but don't have feelings for him.

My gorgeous friend posted pics on twitter at his surprise bday party a few months ago (I wasn't close with him then), and one of them was her kissing his neck and him smiling/laughing!!! She doesn't even like him like that! How can I possibly compete with that? How can I be closer to him? I don't think I'm good at flirting. It made me jealous and feel a little bad about myself.

But...He compliments me a lot and we walk with each other to some classes and wait with each other after school. We've had really deep conversations. We would definitely have lunch together but our schedules don't cross at all.

What do you think about my plan: Hang out with our friends and him a couple times then sometime in the summer, call and ask him to hang out for a day downtown and at the park and have him assume it was kind of a date by the end.

-We haven't hung out yet but we're pretty good friends

-We walk together to some classes/after school & wait with our friends for the buses after school

-Almost allll of his friends are girls, & they all hang out but in GROUPS; they are also kinda my friends and they don't have feelings for him

-I used to be 90% sure he was gay but found out he used to have a girlfriend last year

-He compliments me a lottt! :) Like my skirt, texts, hair, smell of my hair lol, random things I say, etc.

-He asked me for my # first! But recently he has kind of sucked at texting

-We're in high school, he's a year younger

-We've had reallllyy deep conversations

Plan A. Hang out with our friends and him a couple times then sometime in the summer, call and ask him to hang out for a day downtown and at the park and have him assume it was kind of a date by the end.

Got a better plan? Should I do this before summer?

-We haven't hung out yet but we're pretty good friends.. any ideas about what to do about it?

-We walk together to some classes/after school & wait with our friends for the buses after school

-Almost allll of his friends are girls, & they all hang out, but they are also kinda my friends and they don't have feelings for him

-I used to be 90% sure he was gay but found out he used to have a girlfriend last year

-He compliments me a lottt! :)

-We are of similar attractiveness, intelligence, same type of humor, etc.

-He asked me for my # first! But recently he has kind of sucked at texting

-I used to talk to him about my other crush before I liked him... :/

-We're in high school, he's a year younger

-I told him he was adorable!

-We've had really deep conversations

I feel like he might treat a lot of girls like he treats me but I'm not sure. Is it better to stay "just friends" with him or take a risk and either be successful or make things awkward?

What is your guess with my chance with my crush? (%)

1. Went up to my crush out of nowhere and asked "Hey... want my #?", he said "Sure, yeah" we barely used to talk besides one really good convo a few months ago. He texted me after school though! and we seemed to have a very good convo!

2. The next day we didn't really talk or text, we just said hi to each other when we passed each other in the hallway (we don't have any classes)

3. Today I passed him after school and the convo was just

Me: "Hey"

Him: "Hi"

...

Me: "How's it going?"

Him: "Good"

...

*standing in silence for one second too long*

Me: (muttering under breath) "oh my gosh" and turned around fast and walked away

Was I awkward? or was it him?! What do I do? Also, I didn't text him yesterday. Should I just wait for him to text me, or should I just start the convo? How do I not be so socially awkward? When I texted him he kinda seemed interested in what I had to say but idk... it's just super awkward in person :(

Went up to my crush -who I barely talk to, besides saying "hi" sometimes and this one good conversation a few months ago, since we don't have any classes- and said "Hey... want my number?"

1. How would you react internally, if a girl did that? Would you think about her a lot more if she did that? What would you think about her? If you weren't remotely interested, would you text her?

Wellll he said yeah and wrote it down and texted me after school and the conversation seemed like it went well! In the end I said "I gotta go start on my homework, but you should talk to me more in person. You seem nice & really interesting :)" and he was like "Thanks, you too :)"

Do you think he might be remotely interested?

I almost NEVER talk to him except for this one good convo a few months ago... but went up to him yesterday and said "Hey... want my number?" and he was like "Sure, yeah". He actually texted me after school! & we talked about like.. everything and he seemed pretty engaged in the convo but then his answers got a little shorter and a little more spaced out.

In the end I said "I gotta go start on my homework, but you should talk to me more in person. You seem nice & really interesting :)" and he was like "Thanks, you too :)"

BUT....His friend told me after that this one girl- who my crush called a "b****"- actively led my crush on then once he started liking her back, she stopped talking to him. But his friend said he got over her the day I gave him my #? I don't think they're connected.. but what if they are?

Do you think he might be remotely interested? How do you think his situation with this girl might influence his situation with me? Do you think the two events could be connected?

Besides one really good conversation with my crush a few months ago, I don't talk to him much besides saying hi sometimes or if I need something. I went up to him before his class started and said "Hey... want my number?" and he was like "Sure, yeah". He actually texted me after school! & we talked about like.. everything and he seemed pretty engaged in the convo but then his answers got a little shorter and a little more spaced apart.

In the end I said "I gotta go start on my homework, but you should talk to me more in person. You seem nice & really interesting :)" and he was like "Thanks, you too :)"

But- maybe I'm over-thinking?- He didn't seem really excited when I gave him my # yesterday or when I said hi to him today. What do you think will happen? How often should I text him? What usually happens in this kinda situation? How interested does he seem to you?

I had one realllly good conversation with my current crush, but I said some stuff about liking another guy at the time & even asked him for advice about getting the other guy's number. :/

He DID, however, say "if a girl gave me her number like that, it would be awesome- it would like make my day"... idk if he means including me or not.

3 months later, it sucks but we don't really talk a lot unless I need something from him or like he got a haircut or we're just saying hi (not often). We have no classes together. I'm a junior, he's a sophomore in HS. I sometimes see him in the mornings, before 1st and 2nd hour, and before and after 5th hour. Only for a moment though.

How do I give this guy my number? How do I just make conversation out of nowhere?

I met him because he overheard me talking to my friend about my PAST crush and he joined the convo because he thought something I said was funny. That convo ended up with me asking him for guy advice... but we also talked about memories, college, family, childhood, and other stuff which got me thinking about him and eventually kinda liking him.

That conversation was a couple months ago. Now we BARELY talk. Sometimes he smiles and says hi and we talk, but sometimes he doesn't even notice me walk past. He's a sophomore, I'm a Junior. We have no classes together; we used to be in pit orchestra for the musical.

The only thing that's giving me hope: when I talked to him about giving my past crush my #, my current crush said "If a girl gave me her # out of nowhere, that would be awesome... like, it would make make my day!" and I asked if he would tell anyone (I was scared my past crush would laugh at me with his friends), and he said "Yeah, I'd be so surprised- in a good way- I'd definitely tell people"

SOOOO.... Do you think my current might react like that if I give him my #? I want to, but if you were in his place, would you think it's weird because we barely talk anymore?

Btw, I never gave my past crush my number :p ... but he gave me his! :) Then told me all he wants us to be is friends... :,(
