Crush Advice needed :)

Every crush before felt the same, but this time it feels different. Like I’m meant to be with him but maybe I just super weirdly attached in some way. :sweat_smile: idk. Although we don’t talk much while working, he always manages to make me laugh & put a smile on my face when we do talk. His silly little dance moves, jokes, & helping me out with work even though we work in different departments. Also, Let’s not forget his smile. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I’m having a hard time figuring out if he also likes me or is just being friendly. He’s kinda outgoing while I’m super shy & awkward. :roll_eyes: Any advice would be appreciated & not that it matters too much but we’re both young adults.
Every crush before was just puppy love. I was young and dumb. I’ve matured over the years and I’m ready for a relationship when the time is right.

Edit: I’m also moving to different state in 2 months for about 3-4 months. Hoping to come back here after. I would love to hang out with him before I leave and possibly get his number but I have a hard time with that kinda stuff.

Thanks!

Update: So I found out that I’m moving sooner than I thought which means I’ll be giving my two week notice in about a week.

Also, found out that he’s 3-5 years older than me, but I’m 95% sure he’s 4 years older (btw I’m 18) I personally don’t have a problem with the age gap but we’re in different parts of our lives. I’m hoping he doesn’t have a problem with the age gap either.

Now the fun part :roll_eyes: I told you all I’m very shy and anti-social. That being said when I have a crush I kinda get nervous and that makes me not talk even more. :sweat_smile: This is where I believe I f*cked up because we haven’t talked a lot lately. Every time I want to say hi or ask how’s it going, I don’t, then I regret it. I would also like to point out that I’ve been dealing with harassment issues and I’ve kinda distant myself from everyone.

I’m panicking because my time is running out and I feel like I’ve messed it all up. Not to mention, I’m overthinking about “prettier girls” and “would he even want to be my friend bc…” It sucks and I just started having these thoughts since we haven’t talked.

But on a positive note, when reading the board with all the co-workers “about me” stuff, I found out he likes hiking and photography as well!!

Do y’all have any advice?

I actually think you should make the first move and ask for his number! You don’t need to ask as a love interest but just as friends would be great! Depending on your answer, does he know if you’re moving?

I can’t give you advice as I have never had a boyfriend but I can relate to a few of your crush things(with my crush of course).

I know that with all of my previous crushs that I felt like we could date but not have a solid future together. Where as with my current crush, I fell like we could get married and bave kids, etc.

Same…

Same! It’s so weird! He’s like the only on that I know I smile a lot with(and my best girl friend told me that I apparently blush when I talk to him a lot).

Same…UGH!

Exactly, me too!

If he knows that you’re moving, I recommend saying something like this, “Hey, so you know I’m moving soon right? Anyways, I’d like to keep in touch when I move so is there any chance I can get your number?” I’m sure he won’t say no!
If he doesn’t know that you’re moving, I recommend saying something like this, “Hey, so I’m moving in about two months. It’s not permanent, but I just wanted to know if you wanted to keep in touch! If so, can I get your number?”

Just tell him, so, if he doesn’t like you back you can run away in the differente state u mentioned!
Or, if he likes you then YAAAAY!

If I would be you I would make the first step :hugs:. Otherwise you won’t know whether he’s interested or not. Just as it was already mentioned, take the moving to another state as a reason to get his number, just to keep in touch :blush:. There’s nothing wrong with it, and if he really likes you, he will definitely not reject you! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: I wish you all the best and good luck girl :heart:

Nobody knows I’m moving other than close family. Thanks for giving me an idea on what to say. I would overthink it. :rofl: Also, I’m sure the word will spread around work once I put my 2 week notice in.

-I think that you have to take care of yourself first and a very important thing is not to put too much pressure on the crush, on him, nor yourself.
-Try talking about some photos you love or how hiking makes you feel
-Link below is a dating coach, he’s a cool guy, he may help you

Oh girl, never let the age gap be a reason to doubt! I think that a certain age gap is really good! I had a boyfriend years ago and when I met him I was 22 and he was 28(now I’m nearly 26 and he’s 30) and i can say that I loved the maturity he had :hugs:.
And please take the initiative :pray:t4:. And talk to him! Make sure not to have any regrets when you’re leaving! I’m rooting for you! :heart:

Sounds like a good old episode story :joy::joy::joy:

It could be :joy: there’s a lot of drama involved. I hated him when pregnant would only call him when I wanted food bringing :woman_facepalming:t4: Spoke to loads of different guys. He slept with someone else when I was pregnant etc (we was on a ‘break’) anyway we was still sleeping together and I ended up pregnant with our second child and been together properly 100% committed ever sincE

Yep, definitely an episode story :joy: :joy: :joy:
