Search Results: too shy to say we like each other

I have been dating this guy for 5 years now. We recently got married in March. When we first started dating, everything was very nice. He was quiet, shy and sweet. We both went out on a lot of dates and were very affectionate with each other. After some years went by, things started changing a bit. We started going on less dates, sex has been dwindling down, etc. He caring less and less about what he says to me (hasn't called me out of my name yet) but he goes a bit too far when he jokes and when i let him know that, he gets all defensive about it. He tends to hide his phone a lot when im around. He's starting to not care about his personal hygiene that much. Im starting to feel more down because our relationship is not what it used to be...

I'm starting to wonder, did I make a mistake going through with the marriage?

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:(

Sorry it’s long but I could really use the help😂


my guy friend and I have been lowkey talking ever since high school. I say lowkey because it’s only ever been light conversations and “pictures” due to complications in our friend group. We both go to college together too and see each other almost every weekend (not romantically, just with our friends).

Sometimes during the day after class, we will go eat lunch together. Even when our group is eating lunch, we will typically sit next to each other at the table.
We recently matched on Tinder and I thought it was interesting but brushed it off. Typically, in a group setting, he doesn’t really acknowledge me much. He will still say hi to me and doesn’t act uncomfortable or anything. He is very loud and outgoing with our friend group and makes everybody laugh including me. He seems to be “touchy” with everyone else except me (unless if I ask for a hug).
One time I forgot my wallet and he offered to get something for me, which I thought was sweet.

We’ve lightly talked about hooking up but it never ends up happening. I told him that I’m a virgin, which I thought would scare him off, but he was nice and said if I ever wanted to, he would go easy and take it slow. I can't tell if he’s just shy when it comes to his feelings, or if he’s not interested at all. I’m fine if he’s not, because I really value our friendship. I’ve been receiving a lot of mixed signals lately😂
