We have now finished university for summer and therefore I won’t see my crush until September which is a long time, we get on really well sometimes when we do see eachother in classes and have laughs, I asked for his Instagram a few weeks ago and he said yes and seemed quite happy that I asked and followed me and he sometimes likes my posts and stories but never actually messages me first. I know he seems quite awkward and struggles with his mental health and broke up with his ex like 4 months ago but they weren’t together very long but it was his first girlfriend and he saw her a few weeks ago with a boy but he doesn’t seem massively bothered but sometimes I can tell he doesn’t always talk a lot but like I say, he told me he has anxiety and depression. We have a lot in common and I know i have posted about this before but I am just really unsure on what to do. I have quite a bit going on in my life and I fear rejection would make it worse but I am not actually asking him out, just asking casually if he wants to meet up one time/ hang out whilst wishing him a good summer. I am thinking of sending a message in the next 1-2 days and I am EXTREMELY nervous. I have signs of anxiety myself as well as ASD and really struggle socially but sometimes he seems to understand/ relate to me a lot. I haven’t seen him since last week as he didn’t bother coming in for the last few days before the holidays but I was thinking of messaging him something along the lines of “hope you have a good summer as I haven’t seen you but don’t blame you for not being in and I might see you before September if you fancy meeting up one day to do something also keep up with your art as it is really good!” But I am extremely nervous so any urgent, sensible advice would be useful.

I might still ask him in a few days as I am ill right now and don’t want the stress of a possible no making me feel worse but I kinda don’t see the point…. He never messages me, he even liked my friends insta post so I am nothing special (She is a lot older than us and has a boyfriend but still, he hasn’t talked to her as much as he has talked to me) probably just likes me as a friend like he likes her as a friend…. i’m probably nothing special
