Search Results: giving him a chance

I feel like a lot of people do at least a little.

Kinda like when you're playing strategy games/sports where you read someone's movements and adjust because a different action is the better play to maximize your chance at winning. Sometimes you draw up plays with your boys/girls and most of them are usually bad at giving advice but every now and then there's someone who has mastered the game.

If you think this is terribly inhumane and manipulative then I'd love to hear your success story and/or what advice you'd give to someone who's terribly shy and socially anxious. If it's "be confident" and/or "be yourself", how? It isn't that easy for some people. I'm speaking from experience.

I think it's all fair unless you're intentionally doing something that you know would hurt someone just for your own gain. Often both men and women want the strategies to be done on them. This doesn't have to be super complex. It could be as simple as positioning yourself closer to the person you like.

So, the story with my recent crush is that we have barely ever talked despite being classmates for 3 years. Our class interacts a lot in general, but his group's girls are more open to me than his group's guys. The girls are enthusiastic, the guys are too shy to mutter even a hi. They say hi to the whole class though.

And my crush is the tallest in class, I'm amongst the shortest girls, so people keep calling me "kid" jokingly. He has been my first ever crush in college (I liked his personality when he used to interact during online classes, his face wasn't clear there tho). I had a major crush on someone else tho, and I'm trying to get over that guy and this recent one keeps popping up again and again because ig I never got him outta my head anyway.

We went on an industrial visit and during the whole trip he kept stealing glances at me. I admit I looked cuter than most days ig, cause even girls who I rarely talk to in class said I looked cute. So I was happie. And he kept noticing. He even gave me an ice cream that day, despite my friends also standing there. He was generally going around giving icecreams too but in my grp, it was only me who he gave it to (our prof was paying for those). It was a cute thing idky.

And some days later, while I was sort of in his direct view while studying something from the teacher, I caught his eye when he was looking at me. It was a blissful sight. I noticed his brown eyes and kinda got nervous and left to drink water and didn't even look up in that direction again when I came back to my place. It was a beautiful feeling still tho.

I wish he would have the same feelings as me. I don't want to confess because we have barely ever talked. I just like his sincereness and his overall personality. It is not love tho, just a crush. And he now rarely watches my IG stories even tho he used to watch all of them earlier.

P. S. the worst part is that we just have like 10 days left in college. We will be never seeing each other again:(
