I sort of have feelings for someone from gag what do I do?

[Anonymous]

I met someone on gag last week and he helped me out getting over this guy that I'd had a crush on for like two years on and off. His advice helped me gain new perspectives about relationships and about myself that I never thought about before.
The thing is I deleted that account because it was the first time I'd used gag and I thought he could be a troll. But now I am starting to realise maybe he could be real. I want to talk to him and get to know him more. But I can't force that to happen because I don't want to scare him off. At this point, having him as even a friend is valuable because of how blunt he is. What should I do?

[Iron_Man]

Did you remember his gag screen name? Just go to his account and talk to him and say hey do you remember me and then tell him I’m back now. And tell him how he really helped you out and how you really appreciate it and just continue on in conversation with him. You probably should put your picture up to find out if he’s attracted to you. Guys don’t like talking to pink anonymous left and right never seeing what she looks like

[Asker]

Yeah, I remember the name. I don't have the guts to do it because it feels stalkerish/needy and I don't want to be rejected.
I could I guess, but the name of my account is different now so doesn't that make me seem like a troll. They won't let me keep the name I had before because it's a new account.

[Iron_Man]

I don’t think it’s needy at all many women have come back and told me do I remember them and I’ve always been happy to hear that. It shows that they care. You should do that because if not nothing will ever happen between you guys

[Asker]

I guess so :) But I really don't have the guts to do so. The last time we spoke he initiated, I'm really not the type to do so.

[Iron_Man]

Well if you’re not gonna go to his account you’re gonna have to let it go and get it out of your system. Talk to a new gagger that you like 😊

[Asker]

Haha yeah

[Asker]

It's funny because you actually commented on the post that we first talked on

[Iron_Man]

Wow how about that? That means there must be some type of connection meant to be for the future. Hmmm interesting 🤔

[Asker]

My bad, I just realised you didn't post on that particular post. I reposted it later on. Confusing but yeah, so it's prob not meant to be :/

[Iron_Man]

🥲 another heartbreak oh well I guess that’s the world of gag 😭

[NathanDavis]

what made you think that he could be a troll?

[Asker]

Honestly, how does any of us know who is really behind these pictures. I was scared it might turn out to be some random old guy like how would you know

[NathanDavis]

so, the interest comes from their profile picture and that's giving you the feels?

or is it more than just that?

[Asker]

No, it's how he helped me overcome a problem that has been bugging my mind for 2 years

[NathanDavis]

I don't think is wise to develop feelings over a week of help conversations with someone you just met

if you want to talk with someone and get to know them better, that is fine, that should not be scary to him

but if you're already planning ahead to "fall with feelings" with a stranger, then that's definitely odd

[Asker]

yeah true

[Asker]

But I think want I really want is actually friendship

[NathanDavis]

then it should be alright, that's something that a lot of people have found in this site, good and genuine friendships

[SunnySensei]

If you think Miss, you have a connection with him then don't give up at least try reaching out to him as a friend, give opinions on his question or reply on his opinion on someone's question. Just connect with him and maybe things work out from there.

[Wise4myage]

I suggest you send him a DM and explain yourself, just don't mention the troll part, lol.

[Asker]

haha, good one!

[Wise4myage]

Cool. I hope it works.

[Asker]

Lol, I don’t think I’m going to do it. Just because I’ve had bad experiences from initiating before. I’ll probably do 2 things: wait for him to see this and figure it out or if that doesn’t happen, I’ll move on :)

[Asker]

By initiating, I mean irl not on here

[Wise4myage]

Ok. Well I hope he knows its you?

[Wise4myage]

Ok, got cha.

[Asker]

They end up looking down or not knowing what to say like they're caught off guard it's weird.

[Hangry06]

DM him or tag him here

[Asker]

I can't tag him but this will do @ softwaretallguy (that's all I know about him) haha

I don't want to pressure that person. One thing I learnt from him was to not catch feelings too early when they don't match the other's. So, that should come in handy now huh?
What I realise is that on gag, there are some genuine people on here and friendships with them are invaluable.

[Yourfriend2021]

You can make friends on here, don't worry :)

[Shihab91]

Just talk to him and see where it goes 🤷🏻‍♂️
