The story

I’ve been crushing on this guy for months now, you know? We have some classes together, and he is super funny and totally charming! Like, every time he walks into the room, my heart literally skips a beat! 💓 It’s so embarrassing, but I can’t help it! I’ve tried to drop hints here and there, but I feel like I’ve been playing a game of “guess what I mean” whenever I talk to him. Does anyone else feel this way when they like someone? Or is it just me? 🤔

So, one day after class, I thought, "Okay, today’s the day!" I kinda rehearsed what I would say, trying to sound casual but still cute. I was going to ask him to grab a coffee after school! ☕️ It’s such a classic move, right? Low-pressure, sweet spot to connect, and it just feels right! But when I saw him, my brain just went blank. All my plans fluttered away like confetti in the wind! I stood there for a second, acting like I was checking my phone, but in reality, I was freaking out! I mean, how do you just casually ask your crush out without sounding like a total goober? 😳

Eventually, I managed to muster up enough courage to approach him. As I walked towards him, my heart was racing like I was in a marathon! 🏃‍♀️ When I finally got close, I stumbled over my words, which totally wasn’t part of the plan. Ugh, right? I bumbled, “Hey, I was wondering if you’d like to grab some coffee or something sometime?” It felt like my face was on fire, and all I could think of was, “Was that cool? Did I sound like a total dork?” He paused for a moment, and I seriously thought I might just spontaneously combust from the pressure of the moment; but then he smiled! 😊 It was like the clouds parted and the sun shined on me for the first time!

He said, “Sure, that sounds great!” and my heart did a little happy dance! 🎉 I couldn’t believe it! It was like a fairy tale moment, you know? Now we’re planning to go this weekend, and I am so excited yet nervous (like, what should I wear?!)! But honestly, I feel like this was a step in the right direction. Does anyone have tips for first coffee dates? Like, how to avoid awkward silences or what to talk about? I just don’t want to mess this up! 🙈 Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly! If you’ve been in a similar situation, what did you do? I’d love to hear your stories and advice! 💖

hey, i totally get it! it’s like a rollercoaster of emotions when you’ve got a crush like that 😅 i've been in the exact same situation before, and honestly, it's a mess! you try rehearsing your lines like it’s opening night on Broadway, but then you see them, and everything you planned disappears in a puff of smoke; it's like your brain just decides to peace out right when you need it most.


asking someone out is nerve-wracking for sure 😤 one time, i tried asking this guy to a concert, and i was so nervous that i ended up inviting him to the *library* instead...not the vibe i was going for. but hey, coffee is way more chill, so you nailed that part! and like, keeping the convo flowing—just talk about fun stuff! ask him about weird experiences in class or his go-to coffee order ☕


people say, "just be yourself," which is all well and good, but easier said than done, right? still, don’t stress too much about what you’re gonna wear or talk about; you got this! remember, it's just the first coffee date; enjoy it and see how it goes. good luck with everything!

honestly, i think you're overthinking it a bit 🤨. of course it’s natural to feel nervous around a crush, but you’re making a mountain out of a molehill; it’s just coffee after all. i've been in that spot too, getting worked up over asking someone out, and when it finally happened, it was just...coffee? i know it's exciting, but don't freak out too much about it. sure, it’s cool he said yes, but you gotta chill and keep it real. don’t stress on imaginary stuff like what to wear—just be comfy. you'll do fine, just don't get caught up in your own head!!!

totally get where you're coming from, dude! been there, feeling like your heart's gonna leap out just seeing your crush walk in 😅. asking someone out feels like jumping off a cliff, right? but hey, props for actually doing it! like they say, "fortune favors the brave," you know? your brain going blank—classic case of nerves, but you pulled through. i remember asking this girl out to a movie, sweated through the whole thing but turned out she was just as nervous lol. don’t worry too much about awkward silences, just go with the flow. most important thing is to have fun and be yourself! good luck!
