Love, Confused, LGBTQIA+ and Scary: Just asking questions

Just asking questions

By <Still_Closeted> - 19/02/2022 03:59

Today, I had a long call with my crush, the only person I have been in regular contact with for the past year. He regularly calls me to check up on me, and really cares about my interests. I'm not sure if he likes me back, or is just being friendly, and I'm too scared to ask him out. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, the phone rang so I went to answer it. No one was there. A minute later the phone rang again and no one answered so I assumed it was a telemarketer or a prank so I started swearing uncontrollably in rage. Turns out it was my crush calling to ask me out, but she was too nervous to ask. FML

Today, after admitting he had feelings for me, my crush returned from out of town. He'd said that while he was gone, he'd meet people, but only think of me. He came back no longer single. He's known her for 4 days. We've known each other for 6 years. FML

Today, the girl I had a crush on for the past few months called me and wanted to tell me something. Excited, I agreed and we went out to dinner. She wanted to tell me she had been secretly seeing 'someone' for the past six months. FML

Today, I was ecstatic to have received a friend request from my crush of grade 4 after 11 years. He's grown up to be such a hottie. I quickly accepted his request, he messaged me and we ended up chatting for hours. Later, when I messaged him, he called me clingy and unfriended me from Facebook. FML

Crushed

Today, I finally got the courage to talk to my crush of two years. We went to the same school for a year but then he moved to my old school and became friends with people I knew from primary school. Anyways, I finally got the courage to have a conversation with him on Instagram. Then he blocked me. FML

Today, I had lunch with an old friend I've had a crush on for years. We're both single, so I figured it to be kind of like a date. Until he started talking about how he told his brother last night that we would never be a thing. FML

Creep from the past

By annoyed - 19/12/2009 05:52 - United States

Today, I received a phone call from a good guy friend of mine, someone I haven't seen for years. He tells me he has "deep" feelings for me, and wants to know since my husband is deployed, if it would be okay if we "dated" because he told his parents I'm his girlfriend. FML

Today, I spent 30 minutes listening to my crush complain about a stalker that's been sending her flowers and love poems almost every week. It's me. FML

Today, I finally got the courage to tell my best friend that I've had a crush on him since our junior year. Since I couldn't see him I shot him a text. His response: "Yeah I know. I've tried kind of ignoring it." FML

Nice try

Today, I've had a crush on a guy for a while - a friend of mine knows this. I finally decided to find out once and for all if there was any chance with him, so I drove to his house, armed with a home cooked meal and wine, only to find the very friend I confided in was at his house. It turns out they are now an item. FML

I think you should tell your crush how you feel. Worst case scenario, they don't feel the same. But you'll never know if you don't try.

And your crush could be fearing the same thing. Wish I had the magic words for you but I do not. Sorry. Life is sometimes a leap of faith. What does your gut tell you?

Do you even know if he's gay? Start singing show tunes and if he joins in, you might want to take a chance. "Take a chance, take a chance..." Mamma Mia.

Welcome to the world of overthinking + anxiety/social anxiety. It really does suck, and I wish it upon nobody. It can make literally any aspect of your life needlessly complicated. For example, I've been racking my brain trying to figure out why my insomnia has suddenly gotten so awful, when all I want to do is turn my brain off and stop asking this question so I can sleep. But there are some potential answers to my unanswerable question which would be bad news if they turned out to be correct, so I get more anxiety and more sleeplessness. Consequently, I am now painfully awake during a time where everyone who lives on my side of the world should be fast asleep. And I don't know what to do. (It's almost 1AM where I live as I'm writing this.)

Don't give yourself a head-on thinking you both had some sort of chemistry when in reality he is just being his generous normal self around you. Don't hurt yourself by being imaginative. speak your mind and see where this leads
