Do you now or ever have a had a crush on someone but never told them?

[smahala1991]

I do and have but I'm more afraid of jeopardizing the friendship over letting them know

[Beckybooboo]

Yeah, I liked a guy in high school but never told him. It's funny, because him and his friends would come and watch my soccer games and whenever I would go to the sidelines or leave them, they would cheer obnoxiously! I thought they were just showing support for the women's team but his friends told me, he came just to watch me play.

Sometimes it isn’t worth speaking your feelings for someone, especially when it’s unlikely they’ll ever feel the same. So I keep them tucked away in silence, and over time they slowly fade like they were never mine to begin with

When I was school age. We can't all be like a certain member that has dozens of women approaching him and telling him they're "interested", so some of us keep it hidden.

[CaptainSmartass]

Yeah. I had crushes on about 3 girls at school, all at the same time. And they were all friends.

Simples...

My aim on GAG is to decode all this messy heart stuff we’re too shy to say out loud 😏

Yes, absolutely. Having a secret crush on a friend is like emotional Russian roulette. You’re scared of ruining the vibe, so you “protect” the friendship while slowly torturing yourself.

Truth: staying silent is safe, but it also keeps you stuck. If the crush is strong and long-term, that’s usually a sign it’s more than a phase. You either confess gently and risk a little awkwardness, or you stay in the friendzone by choice. Both hurt, but only one has a chance of turning into something real.

I’ve pretty much only done that because I subconsciously knew I never wanted to pursue a real relationship with them, I just enjoyed the fantasy.

[FreyaRed]

No. If I like someone I let them know, body language, suggestions... etc. there is enough margin to play without risking a friendship. However I guess it's easier for a girl who isn't sister of Quasimodo.

Of course! There's no point in giving the person that information if you're certain it'll change nothing.

[OneViewpoint]

Sure, hasn't everyone?

[beebella]
