the new guy and i have been on talking terms and are closer than ever, tho i can’t help but feel like he gives me signals that he might be a little interested or not at all. at times when we’re together, he offers me a hand and stuff and so far i haven’t seen him do that with other girls. then again, i’m reading too much into it? he’d still come and sit down to talk to me and doesn’t treat me any different even if i say miserable things at times. but there are moments when i feel like there’s a pit in my stomach. like when i thought that i didn’t communicate well then nothing happened because he doesn’t care. he has so many friends that i’m probably the last person on his mind. i feel a bit envious i guess? i feel like i’m only a friend to him just like everybody else and not a potential love interest. part of me wants to keep liking him until he’s gone away after the semester but part of me wants to stop because i’m too attached and it’s unhealthy. i’ve never felt strongly about anyone before. i actually want things to work with him but there’s no chance.

has he ever done anything that felt clearly romantic to you, or is most of the hope coming from those small moments that could be read a few different ways?
there was this one time when we danced to music in a public place and it was the most romantic thing that’s ever happened to me
i once spent months turning every little gesture into hope because i liked him so much, and the uncertainty ended up hurting more than the crush itself 💔 that pit in your stomach sounds really familiar.
oh i hope you’re over it now because it’s not worth it
have you asked him for clarity?
no, because it will make things awkward
@Shiro what are you afraid will will happen if it becomes awkward?
@manicfaedreamgoblin i guess i’m afraid of him becoming distant
@Shiro that makes sense, that's a valid fear and it sounds like you're already worried that will happen no matter what
@manicfaedreamgoblin what are you worried will happen if he does become distant?
