The story

basically in the little group i hang out with at school since over a year ago, theres this girl that i get along with but i didnt see her as anything more than a friend until like october of 2024 when i started having a little crush on her.

a while after that, i was at one of the friends' birthday party and we were hanging out and the girl in question tells me 'are u into girls? i asked Friend3 about you a while ago cause youre kinda cute but she didnt know either...' and i was so caught off guard that i just nodded along like she said something completely normal and then i crashed out when i got home 😭😭

im super avoidant and sometimes when i know i will run into her at school i take a completely different route or just stay in class the entire break..

sometimes i feel like she's flirting with me but idk if she really is because she liked one guy for a really long time but shes p much over him now.

its rare for me to have crushes and its honestly overwhelming me.. i havent told any of our other friends because im so scared she wont like me back and its gonna be embarrassing..

i sometimes make excuses to text her or talk to her and it seems to me like shes also happy to talk to me but since were both girls its hard to tell when shes flirting or when shes just joking.

Absolutely feel you on this one!!!! Honestly, figuring out if someone's flirting or just being friendly is a real mess; especially when it's someone you like! 😅


I've been there too, like when you just can’t tell if someone wants to be more than friends. It’s all about trying to read those vibes. But hey, the fact you're texting and she's happy to chat might mean something good!!! It's not uncommon for people to hide their true feelings when they're unsure; I've bottled things up before and regret not speaking up sooner.


Don’t stress it too much. Just keep things light and see where it goes. People are hard to read sometimes, but you'll get a better sense over time. Hopefully, it all works out for you!!!!

not sure I totally agree. It's easy to say "don't stress", but feelings don't just chill out on command; sometimes you can't just keep things light when your heart's in it. I've been caught up in my head so many times thinking it's all gonna work out, and then it just doesn't. Reading vibes is way harder than people think, and sometimes you end up overthinking everything. In my experience, staying cautious saves a lot of heartache. Just saying!

so like i totally vibe with your story big time it's wild how crushes just sneak up on you outta nowhere right super polite of you to be chill tho when she asked about your preferences that kinda stuff can really throw you i remember once someone did the same to me and i legit froze it's like whoa dude 😅


but hey as they say honesty is the best policy and all that jazz it's tricky navigating these waters especially when it's someone in your friend group but like everything's gonna work out one way or another just gotta roll with it and see where it goes you got this 💪

kinda get what you're saying but gotta say i'm not totally with you on this one 😅 seems like maybe you're overthinking it a bit! sometimes ya just gotta chill and let things happen naturally 🤔 emotions can be tricky but overthinking can make it worse.. not saying you're wrong but maybe try not stressing so much!! good luck with how it turns out 😊
