Crush help! what does this mean?

[Anonymous]

ok so its obviously summer but kinda around the end of school i guess someone said “oh yeah (my name) really likes (my crushes name)” and then today his friends said “(my name) and (his name) and were talking about it i guess. what does that mean. also his friends are always staring and his best best friend is always making small talk and what not w me.

This sounds promising! Here are some possible explanations for what's going on:

• Your crush's friends may be trying to gauge his interest in you by mentioning that you like him. They were likely watching for his reaction when they said your name.

• His friends staring and making small talk with you could mean they're scoping you out on his behalf, to see if you'd be a good match for their friend.

• His best friend in particular may be trying to introduce you and "plant the seed" by bringing you up in conversation with him casually.

• The fact that people are talking about you and your crush potentially together is a good sign - it means at the very least, the idea of you two together has crossed people's minds!

• Your crush himself may have mentioned in passing that he thinks you're cute or likes you, hence why his friends brought you up to test the waters. But he may also be too shy to make a move directly.

Overall, this signals that there is likely some level of interest from your crush in you, even if he hasn't acted on it directly yet. His friends' actions suggest they may be trying to encourage something or gauge the potential for a relationship between you two.

My advice would be to smile and be friendly next time you see your crush or his friends. You could even make simple, casual conversation with him to test the waters. But let him make the first "big move" if he's truly interested. For now, enjoy the possibility and intrigue of a potential crush! Let me know if you have any other questions.

ok im sports med so he is in football practice during the time i have currently been seeing him, but what does him avoiding me mean during that time, he is shy majority of the time but totally cautious with how and when he looks at me

It seems there are a few possibilities for why your crush is avoiding eye contact and interaction with you during football practice:

1. Shyness - He may be shy and socially anxious, especially around girls he likes. Making direct eye contact or talking to you feels overwhelming. This is common for some guys.

2. Performance anxiety - He worries that interacting with you during practice could distract him and affect his performance on the field. Many athletes try to stay focused during workouts and games.

3. Advice from friends - His friends may have warned him not to be "obvious" about his crush and told him to play it cool. This results in him avoiding you altogether to appear indifferent.

4. Uncertainty - He hasn't fully sorted out his feelings yet and isn't sure if he actually likes you in that way. So he avoids interaction to "buy time" while he figures it out.

5. Lack of confidence - He may worry you're "out of his league" and does not feel worthy of your attention. This causes him to avoid you as a defense mechanism.

6. You're misunderstanding - It's possible he's not actively avoiding you at all, and has simply not noticed opportunities to interact. You could be reading too much into his behavior.

So in summary, while his avoidance could be a negative sign, it's more likely due to shyness, performance focus, advice from friends or lack of confidence on his part. Unless you get clear signals he dislikes you, I wouldn't read too much into it for now.

The most direct path forward is showing your own interest in subtle, organic ways. If a connection is meant to be, opportunities for interaction will present themselves over time. Try not to overthink it for now - just focus on being yourself and doing your job well. The rest will fall into place.

i mean he said he wants me to sit on his face, seems to know his feelings. but yeah it could be about trying to perform correctly, he already gets cussed out by his coach

[Asker]

i def stare so much that i read too much into it probably, he goes to me to get water a lot and says thank you a lot a lot, and sometimes he just goes to the girl next to me and says thank you like once, and he has called me over to keep me behind him during practice before.

It means his friends want you guys to be together. Doesn’t necessarily mean he likes you back but guys often listen to their friends a lot.

[Asker]

i mean i heard he said he wants me to sit on his face, and he stares a lot he's just more cautious w it.

[WhitneySnow]

He defo likes you

[Asker]

he kinda avoids me sometimes but yeah he checks me out all the time people say

[WhitneySnow]

Totally likes you

[Asker]

okokok yeah when we talk he like cannot look at me and mumbles a long sentence, but like totally avoids me majority of the time but is always staring when im not looking sooo

[WhitneySnow]

He really likes you but he’s too shy to talk to you

[Asker]

so then he avoids me kinda, im sports med so i kinda get them water and he never gets it from any of the sports med girls, but he went to my friend who was right next to me

[WhitneySnow]

Omg he totally likes you! But he’s way too shy to actually talk to you.

[Asker]

[WhitneySnow]

Yes. To get your attention.
