Search Results: texting a crush

So context: We used to sit next to each other in business class and we were very friendly he was super flirtatious - playfighting, teasing longing stares, lovey dovey comments.

. I mean this one time I was lowkey annoyed at him and moved to the far end of my chair and he pullec me closer to him- problem he had a girlfriend granted things were weird between them but I felt like it was wrong. He ended up breaking up with his girlfriend and here's me thinking he'll confess to me, wrong he got with his ex girlfriend's best friend. I was annoyed and made a comment and we drifted apart as we moved classes etc etc. he definitely knew I liked him 100%.

Here's the issue: (~5 years later present day) I have him on instagram and he always watches my story first, well I wanted to talk to him so l accidentally sent a reel to talk and it was so easy and free flowing with that teasing we had before- he even suggested we meet. I like him ano maybe I'm just reminiscing my young teenage crush and he's the one I feel got away, anyways I want to text him again it's been a week but I want him to chase me to want me to text me.

So do I text him, or am I moving with a lack of self respect with the past being like that, any help is greatly appreciated.

Yesterday i invited a guy I have a crush on to come over today and watch a series with me that we started last week. We kissed last week but decided to not proceed as we both want different things.
Yesterday he said he’s down to watching the show together and sounded kinda enthusiastic.

Today he texts me saying “sorry I’m not feeling well so I’ll stay in”
And when I said hope you feel better he said thanks and sorry again.

I’m wondering if this is an excuse to get out of hanging out with me or if he’s genuinely sick. Guys, do you think it’s a lie?
