“I don’t think he likes me, but he keeps asking about me”

I’m a junior in high school (a girl), and I’ve had a crush on this senior boy for around 4 months? Things happened and quite a number of people now know about my crush, and there’s been a lot of teasing going on. He knows about it, but I’m not sure if he thinks it’s a joke or not. He is also quite annoyed by the teasing apparently.

For these past 4 months, this guy hasn’t really cared about me or made any attempt to interact with me. So obviously I resigned to my fate of a one-sided crush. But here is where I get confused. Continue reading

“I’m starting to have feelings for another guy”

So, my boyfriend and I just moved into an apartment a few months ago and he is working two jobs, which is nice, because he is supporting us. He is constantly home late, around 11pm, and I’m sleeping, since I have my own job in the am. I know he is not cheating because we share a car and often times I have to pick him up, however he is never home.

In the meantime, I have been hanging out with a friend who is a guy, and there seems to be some feelings there. My friend has admitted he likes me and there has been some cuddling. It really messed with my head and I not sure what to do. I’m not sure I even like my friend, or he is filling the void. I’m still young – I’m 20.

ADVICE?

“How can I reach out to him without being creepy?”

Hey everyone, so I had this app called “Friend Life.” Well, I met this guy on it who was amazing. He made every day better for me, and the first week we met, we ended up becoming best friends, and ended up dating. I loved him.

Any way, the problem is my account got hacked and I decided to work on myself. Five years have passed and I still love him. We haven’t gotten each other’s Skype or Facebook. But we dated each other for a long time. I found him on Facebook…. should I reach out to him, and what would I say that’s not creepy?

“I can’t figure out where we stand”

I’ve been getting to know a coworker for the past few months, but since the start of summer, I’ve started to like her more.

We often have lunch together one on one, and recently have been going out for lunches that I’ve referred to as dates. She returns physical contact, and often, but not always, messages me first thing in the morning.

The problem is she lives out of state and goes to grad school after hours and has such little free time that we haven’t done anything outside of work. We see each other during the week, text a decent amount, and talk on the phone on occasion, so I can’t figure out quite where we stand or how to proceed. Any advice?

“I think I’m ready to leave my husband”

I met two great guys at the same time. It was a blind date with one. He brought me over to his place and I met his roommate/best friend the same day. I was instantly attracted to his best friend and I could sense that the feeling was mutual. At the time his best friend was in a relationship (at least that’s what I was told at the time), so I backed off. I eventually married my date and have been mostly happy for over 13 years. Throughout those years I’ve grown closer to his best friend.

One night we were talking and I learned that when we first met, he was NOT in a relationship. He did end up in a long-term relationship with a friend not long after our first meeting, but my husband obviously lied to keep me around and away from him. We both have admitted that we love each other, but we have never and WILL never do anything behind my husband’s back. We are both the type that would never betray a friend, no matter what so each time we’re around each other it feels a bit tense.

“I’m married, but have a crush on a friend”

Hi there!

I feel a little silly asking about this, and there is even a part of me that wonders if phrasing it makes it more real than I’d like it to be.

I’m very happily married, and have been for four years. We get along really well, I find my partner really beautiful and attractive, and I think they are basically the most precious person in my life, and possibly the most precious aspect of my life.

I have a friend who I’ve had a crush on for years. The crush started when the friend and I first met, when my partner and I were just dating, about eight years ago. I was in a relationship, but I really got on with this other person, and we share friends in common, so we just became friends, and it was lovely, although the crush really did persist while I quietly ignored it. About two years before I got married, there was a rocky time in my relationship when it seemed like we might split up and I was spending more time (particularly one-on-one) with this individual and probably being more explicitly flirtatious than I normally would be. My friend was kind of noncommittally dating someone else, and around the time that it became clear that I was trying to make it work with my partner, my friend started dating the person they were seeing more intensely and they now have been together for years.

“I have a crush on a guy with a girlfriend”

Recently, I started volunteer work, and I met this amazing, quirky, cute guy. I know we like each other, but, the problem is that he has a girlfriend.

I don’t want to be the kind of girl to break them up, but I can’t seem to get him out of my head, and need advice as to what to do. Please help.

“I really like this guy, but I’m afraid to make the first move”

I’ve been pretty much best friends with a guy for about five years. The whole time there has been underlying romantic tension; we are both sort of shy (not with each other but in any uncomfortable situations), and neither of us has really made a move at any point.

Valentine’s day last year (2015), he admitted to having some feelings for me, and me, being really horribly awkward, just sort of replied like, “aw thank you”, because I also had complicated feelings for someone else at that point and wasn’t sure if I wanted to start something. Now I do want to start something, but I am a big baby about talking about feelings.

“I have an obsessive crush on a guy from school”

I can’t get over a guy who might not like me. I’ve known him for three years, since when I was 15. Throughout high school, we talked since we had the same classes, but no one knew anything about him after school.

He’s a very quiet and polite guy. However, I am three weeks short of graduating, and I’ve realized how much I like him. I can’t get over this crush. It completely overwhelms me, and I’m scared that I might have become obsessive.

“I have a crush on my boyfriend’s friend”

I really love my partner and have been dating him for almost two years (definitely out the honeymoon phase). However, lately he’s been getting on my nerves over very simple things (whether he can control them or not), and I have just recently started to get small crushes on other guys, including one of this friends.

I do really love him so much and never could even think about cheating on him. Am I falling out of love, or am I just going through a rough phase that’s part of a relationship?
