This probably shouldn't even be rant if I'm being honest but honestly just need someone to tell this to. I'm also pretty sure I wrote all of this out in a different rant but I need to talk about it again. Also I'm really desperate for advice. So basically, there's a guy in my grade and I've like him the entire time I've known him (if my friends see this hush I was in denial). He's really cute and we have a lot of the same interests (not going to elaborate bc its lowkey a giveaway and I've written here before so like its so obvious) and like he's just like so dhfgibkjesna;e. But ANYWAY, I've noticed that he's sort of reaching out more but like in subtle less obvious ways. It's stuff like walking closer to me when we're going somewhere as a class (it's a big deal bc his friends are always walking somewhere else in like a group so him sort of detaching himself from that group is def out of the ordinary) or SUBTLY (but its there i swear) mimicking my behavior? Sometimes I see that he's like stalked my reposts on tiktok and likes my insta notes when I put some of my favorite songs on there, and while that may be nothing, my friend was like "he wouldn't do that if he didn't care that much about you" so I'm kinda delusional but WHATEVERRR. There was also this one time where, right before our choir performance I was going to head outside to find my friends really quickly before we started. Someone from behind then called my name so I turned around and GUESS WHO WAS THERE. HE WAS. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR HIM TO BE THERE. HIS FRIENDS WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM AND IT WAS TOO LATE TO LEAVE AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. I had a feeling he was going to talk to me but he got scared when I turned around (bc hes the type to do that dw). Then after our performance and after we walked off the stage, I stood next to my parents in the back of the auditorium to listen to the closing speeches or whatever. I guess he and his friend group followed me or something but the next thing I know, while I was in the back, HE WAS STANDING CLOSE RIGHT NEXT TO ME. Again, you might say so what, but HIS FRIENDS WERE LIKE THREE FEET IN FRONT OF WHERE I WAS, AND NONE OF HIS FRIENDS WERE STANDING WHERE I WAS EXCEPT FOR HIM. SO TELL ME IM DELUSIONAL. The thing is though, he follows like so many people on insta and im honestly not even sure he tolerates me at all so please help. Also like 5 people I know also like him and he sits next to one of them in our math class. AND IF I DON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT THIS YEAR I'LL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN BC IM MOVING SCHOOLS SO PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE.

I was in a situation just like you not too long ago. There was a girl I've liked for YEARS but I had never really hit on because she was a bit... unpredictable. Despite that I liked her.
One of the choices that I right now am more happy with than any choice ever is my decision to actually go after her.
Now, you seem to be in a bit of a more interesting situation.
You see, most guys won't try to hit on *you*, which puts you in a predicament, because most girls, probably you included, want them to hit on you.
Thing is, even with this girl, until like 4 days ago I had never even so much as flirted with her.
What I'm seeing, and correct me if I'm wrong, is there is at least some area of mutual attraction here. You like him, he probably likes you.
What I would do is just drop hints. If he doesn't get it, get more insistent.
If he doesn't hit on you, and you really like him, take the chance and just straight up hit on him. It's better to be rejected them to stew over "Does he like me?" forever. Even worse after you leave, then it will become "Did he like me?" and that question will never be answered.
All I can really say is do what I did: Just go for it. If he does like you, than whatever happens happens. If he doesn't than whatever happens happens. Either way, what happens will probably end well, eventually. Things always do. Anon in Love 2 days ago
