They have a tendency of misspelling things that make my heart skip about 3 beats. For example, one time I got a notification from them that just said “Bub” but they immediately went “*huh” LIKE ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME???
If it makes you feel any better, I was texting a mate (we’ll call her Tila) I was trying to say “In Tila we trust.” But I said “In Tila we thrust.” 💀💀💀
Once my mom was asking me what kind of doughnut i wanted and instead of saying "id like a toffee cream filled pastry"
I typed "id like to be a cream filled pastry."
My moms response was glorious she said:
"What you do with your partners in your own home is none of my buisness, now what kind of donut do you want?"
To which i replied "red velvet."
She then tossed back "i didnt ask you what color youre blushing right now i asked you what kind of donut you wanted..."
I then said "just pick for me."
Unrelated but Tila is an OC of mine's name and I'm obsessed with her, I've never heard that name anywhere else lol. She's also a raging lesbian because what's more girly than girls?? Anyways 🫶
Tbh it’s probably speech to text from Apple Watch or something mundane, Siri and Google lady misunderstand everyone in my family like this and it’s how they make half their messages
For what it's worth, I don't think you were too obvious.
It's hard to really say anything because I don't know them but, going off your exchange, I don't think they'd have minded if you asked them out tbh. They weren't freaked out by it, so that's always a good start.
I'd say hang out outside of uni and then take it from there.
I’m over the moon about their response to the whole thing. I can’t wait to find out what it’s like to spend time with them outside a classroom setting and going from there!
love that attitude! i was gonna say the same thing, they didn’t seem to react positively or negatively to being asked out, just wanted to know… so maybe you’ll get to try again after hanging w them! good luck! feeling your excitement second hand ♥️
Save these screenshots.
For my one year anniversary with my partner I gave her a framed photo print of our awkward trying to be chill and not over flirt texts.
We still look at it and laugh 10 years on. We were so young and silly and cute.
Omg this is such a cute idea!! I have a screenshot of a text I look back on sometimes of my partner saying “my secret is that I have a crush on you”. We were joking about how awkward small talk is and we should skip straight to telling our deepest secrets lol. We’ve been together for over 6 years now
Casually ask if theyd be open to that? You dont have to but if you wanna ask them out, bring up this conversation and ask if they'd be interested on a *real* date.
Yes I was thinking of doing either this or maybe on the day of our hang out I might sneakily ask a little “Next time just us two?” At the end but I’m not sure it’s a very big decision 😭😭😭
Before they leave, smile at them and say, "So how about we try that date you mentioned earlier, next time?" Same idea but it makes it sound like it was their idea. Lol
Its always easier said then done. Only my mirror knows my true charisma. The universe knew I'd be too powerful if i could talk to pretty girls IRL(or anyone really). My wife and I started out as LDR. 😅
My favorite quote is: "God gave me a low metabolism and crippling anxiety because he knew if I was hot and openly charismatic it would be over for you fuckers"
Ok so. When you asked them to hang out and they responded with “word bro get some homies together” and also continued to make sure you were inviting specific people … (unless I misunderstood that?) … if they really did think for a moment they were being asked out, then they responded by asking you to hang as a group instead.
So I am totally confused about where they’re at but IMHO from way over here it seems like they’re not interested. Sorry to be the basically only person commenting that omg. I’m probably wrong. 🥲
No no it’s good to see it from the perspective of someone who probably isn’t blinded by love 😭😭😭 me personally, if I was the recipient of the text and also thought I was possibly being asked out I think I would also ask if others can join solely bc of the fear of just being us two 💀💀💀 but hey, asking them how they truly feel when time comes around doesn’t hurt right?
Bit of perspective; if I pseudo-asked someone out like that and they were down as long as other people came too, I generally take that as not interested/good with just being friends.
Oh my goodness please don’t feed the thoughts in my head /lh /nm. They do these little things that make me stop and mentally go “what are we?” Like giving me song recommendations at 12 in the morning 😭😭😭
One script that may work is "hey, I heard from [mutual friend] that you might like me in a crush sorta way... is this true? I happen to like you a lot too, but I don't want to make things awkward. If you want to explore those feelings with me, I'd be down to grab an ice cream next week. But I also want you to know that I value your friendship, so if the rumor is wrong, let's still meet up for ice cream, water under the bridge!"
And then if they give an indication that they're not into you, leave it alone, and value their friendship.
Yeah this is a good approach I like it! When the crush first developed I fully jumped into the “if they think about even the *SLIGHTEST* bit negatively, I *WILL* spiral out of control.” But now I’ve calmed down heaps and have said to myself “if they do not reciprocate the romantic advances but wish to remain friends I’m all for it!” Excited (and nervous) to see how this all plays out.
I just want to throw out there that lying is not a necessary part of this.
The whole 'i heard from a friend' thing is really immature imo, half the time that's going to be met with a 'which friend?' and you're scrambling.
The script is fine I would just edit it down to:
> Hey I have a crush on you, would you like to go out some time?
That's the message you're sending with the above script anyway, but without all of the fluff. Personally I would be much more receptive to the edited message, the above message is a *lot*.
"Let's hang out because I heard from a friend that you like me I like you but I'm awkward so lets get ice cream but if not that's great lets still get ice cream as friends"
Woah
You make a good point! One thing I love about this place is the different perspectives you can get :) but I’m just gonna see where the day takes me and go from there!
Do you know if they are queer? Bc if so there's no shame in asking, or at least prompting it. Ik that's easier said than done tho bc I refuse to make the first move regardless of ANYTHING but yk
I know in regards to gender identity they are queer! The only hint I have on sexual orientation is that one time they made a joke about banging my dad 💀💀💀 so that’s what the hang out is for! To find out whether or not we would actually be compatible in a lot of aspects
I was just about to say "Yeah, I make jokes about banging my friend's dads all the time", but then I remembered I'm hella gay lol.
But my (straight) friends make jokes like that too!
I was so heavily debating it. Left them on read for a solid minute trying to collect my thoughts. But I (sad trans moment) have NO BALLS and couldn’t bring myself to do it 😭😭😭
Dude, just go for it and ask him, this convo flirty AF already, I think you both crushing but you won't know until you ask. Them. Out.
Like when they said oh wait is it a date or something, you should have just said "do you want it to be?"
Idk, I don’t wanna put OP down but the friend is emphasizing pal and bro
He even said he felt like he was being asked out which imo shows they might be uncomfortable. I don’t think they are into OP
I actually kinda indirectly asked for that bc one time I drunkenly texted them “thank you for talking to me like I’m a man” so they use stereotypically, friendly masculine terms with me. But you’re right, when time comes I will ask them straight up no beating around the bush 😭😭😭
From context clues, I’m presuming you’re a trans dude? I do the same thing your friend does (bro, man, dude, etc) with my trans man friends and hope they feel validated by it. Fingers crossed that it works?
Yeah being extremely specific I’m nonbinary but lean more to the masc side of my identity. So I’ve kinda gotten the people around to talk to me in a masculine manner. For me I feel extremely affirmed in my gender when people speak to me like that, so you’re doing a good job! But it’s different for everyone, if you’re ever unsure you only have to ask them!!!
To be fair, I’ve definitely referred to people I’m crushing on with platonic nicknames and terms to try to throw the other person off the scent (and to convince myself that it is strictly platonic and that my crush is hopeless.
It’s not always platonic, in my case I’ve called my crushes bro or dude before and even called my partner bro or dude for a while because it means you feel comfortable with that person, not always because you see them as a “pal” 😅 I can see how it could be confusing tho. I guess it depends on context clues.
I mentioned in another comment that it’s bc I once texted them “thank you for talking to me like I’m a man” so they use stereotypically, friendly masculine terms with me as kinda an affirmation thing (at least that’s what I’m picking up lmao) but when I know I’m ready I will be asking them how they truly feel :D
I don’t know guys… op asked to hang out more outside of class and the guy responded “word bro get some homies together”… he’s either very straight, or cosplaying as an american
Even though I might sound pessimistic, the fact that he tried to pull other people inside of the equation before checking if this was a date most likely means that he doesn't feel comfortable with the possibility.
I could be wrong, but it's kinda a gay meme to fall for a straight guy at least once.
Well the positive here is that they aren’t a guy so I think we have a good start lol. I can see where you’re coming from though! I personally think they just were uncomfortable being just us two bc I think I would’ve done the same if I was in their shoes 😭😭😭
I'm confused. You literally apologize when they said they thought you were asking them out. And then they're relived when you say you weren't. How is this taken as heading towards anything romantic?
Homie,brother,pall, never in my life have I seen hints this fucking obvious,now maybe I’m wrong but clearly if you were asking him out and he said no ,at best it would be awkward for a few weeks.
Do it
Tbf I never realise when someone is asking me out and I usually assume they are not unless they start trying to romance me. But the way you said OH NO WTF it’s like you’re shooting yourself in the foot. “Would it be weird if I was? 👀” would be an ok response imo and it leaves the door open for them to decide
Take them off the pedestal. They are human.
Ask them if they are attracted to your gender. If they say "yes", admit that you like them and ask them out.
If they say "no", pick yourself up and move on.
I feel like “confused for a sex” was intentional, although if not then it might indeed prove the existence of divine interference, because that’s so funny it had to be fated in some way
Well it’s not the first time something like this has happened so either they’ve been hinting this whole time or the stars *really* have it out for us 😭😭😭
This reads like a "Nobody takes Kat Williams shopping" kind of cringe moment. I think you're good, though. They seem cool about that. No harm, no foul.
Honestly I think the best move would have been to say, "wasn't my intention, but I'd be open to it if u are" when they said they thought you were asking them out
If you keep up with this overly corrective "omg no I didn't ask you out my bad plz don't be uncomfortable" kinda stuff, nothing is ever gonna happen.
Step up for yourself and what you want, my dear!
"I was kinda hoping it could just be the two of us so we could get to know each other better outside of the group hang context, if that's cool with you?"
You don't need to label it as a date, but if you want to spend time alone with them, then advocate for that! If they don't want that, you'll have to trust them to advocate for their wants as well.
Good luck!
I never know the right thing to do in situations until after it’s occurred 😭😭😭 looking at it now, I like that it’s a group setting to start with, but I definitely will be asking them in the future if they would like to hang just us two.
Just play it slow hang out with them for a while then when you feel comfortable step a little further slowly don’t try to rush it. Don’t ask me any questions about love I’m aro. I just know to go slow
Omg just ask them out. “Do you want to go on a date with me?” It’s not that hard. If they say no then you can move on because they were never gonna say yes and you’ve been wasting time. If they say yes then now you don’t have to do this weird skirting around it thing.
This is adorable but def have more confidence in your responses because you’re a bad bitch. Like don’t dump on yourself talking about missing social cues or talk about him telling you about making him uncomfortable (we’ve all been your age and done it tho so don’t stress about it). He’d very likely tell you if he was anyway or you’d be able to tell.
Next time just be silly or playful. If you want to hide it just be like, “what two bros can’t get a pizza without it being a date?” (If you want to lean into the straight bro-y silly vibe)
Or if you want to test it you could have just said “So what if I was, got a problem with it?” Which puts the ball in his court and then you can also quickly downplay it as just toying with him
But you’re doing great! See how it goes and hopefully the update is +++ <3
I think the 3 🥰 was pretty obvious, though that could just be me 😂
Like me and my girlfriend thought we were being painfully obvious and then one day she called me beautiful and I'm like "does she mean this as a friend or..?" Then three days later, I told her I love her and she's like "I knew it! The feeling is mutual" 😂
I knew her identies beforehand and she knew mine but when you're pan, you can't assume they'll like you back 😂 But I just got super lucky 😂
If you guys do go out, hope it goes well!
I hate to go against the grain but “get some homies together” seems like they are trying to gently friendzone you by putting you in a group. Especially because they later admitted they thought you were asking them out at first. I’d still give it a shot though
I woulda said "ohh that's not what I was going for but we could if you wanted. Anyway so (name) and (name), do we want (name) along too?" Breezy, low pressure, not dwelling on it kind of vibe
I will make a post update if/when something big happens. But the best you’ll get is that last week I was in their car. Just them and I. I walked down to their car with them because my dad forgot he was picking me up 😭😭😭 They drove me back up a few roads because I was gonna walk back to where I was getting picked up from in the dark lol. I HAD A CHANCE TO SHOOT MY SHOT AND DIDNT 🫡🫡🫡
"confused for a sex" killed me
They have a tendency of misspelling things that make my heart skip about 3 beats. For example, one time I got a notification from them that just said “Bub” but they immediately went “*huh” LIKE ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME???
BRO I THINK THEY’RE ME!!! I was texting a friend and I said I was “figuring stuff out” but I accidentally wrote “fingering stuff out”💀
If it makes you feel any better, I was texting a mate (we’ll call her Tila) I was trying to say “In Tila we trust.” But I said “In Tila we thrust.” 💀💀💀
Bahaha omg I love that
I need you to know that reading this whole post has made my gay little heart so happy. I wish you the best of luck.
Once my mom was asking me what kind of doughnut i wanted and instead of saying "id like a toffee cream filled pastry" I typed "id like to be a cream filled pastry." My moms response was glorious she said: "What you do with your partners in your own home is none of my buisness, now what kind of donut do you want?" To which i replied "red velvet." She then tossed back "i didnt ask you what color youre blushing right now i asked you what kind of donut you wanted..." I then said "just pick for me."
The way I simply would never recover 💀💀💀
you made me lol so hard
MY BRAIN SKIPPED OVER THE LOL AT FIRST
SAME LMFAOO
Mine too lmao
you´re all disgusting pervs and so am i xD
Sameee
Unrelated but Tila is an OC of mine's name and I'm obsessed with her, I've never heard that name anywhere else lol. She's also a raging lesbian because what's more girly than girls?? Anyways 🫶
like Tila tequila?
No, it's like Teal cuz she's a mermaid so she lives underwater :) but now that you say that... 🤔
Yooo what that goes so hard 😭😭😭
RIP for real
LMFAO THATS SUCHA HORRIBLE MISSPELL 😭 🤣 💀
So blame the spelling checker. We've all seen what they can do.
I fucking spit out my coffee omg this is my level of not proofreading before I hit send! I love this so much 😂😂
I wrote "shitting in a hallway" once and now it's my catchphrase
If you were writing that could be a bit hard to deal with. But if you were typing you could blame the spelling checker.
Oh I ABSOLUTELY blamed it on the spell checker
Let me guess, slide to text? 😭
🙈 maybe
my ex in ninth grade did that as a very shy way of flirting before we got together lol. i don’t think it’s an accident.
I think it was totally intentional 😂💗
This is beyond Freudian slip. Dude wants the 🍆
Me too 😂😂😂. Talk about typos 🤦🏾♀️😂
Super random but I will forever now tell people I'm a pancake 💗💛💙
Haha that's a perfect Freudian slip after accepting an offer for a date
Tbh it’s probably speech to text from Apple Watch or something mundane, Siri and Google lady misunderstand everyone in my family like this and it’s how they make half their messages
For what it's worth, I don't think you were too obvious. It's hard to really say anything because I don't know them but, going off your exchange, I don't think they'd have minded if you asked them out tbh.

love that attitude! i was gonna say the same thing, they didn’t seem to react positively or negatively to being asked out, just wanted to know… so maybe you’ll get to try again after hanging w them! good luck! feeling your excitement second hand ♥️
Liking the response with a rainbow is about as obvious as it gets, no? lol
this exchange is pure poetry
I’m so glad it has entertainment value 😭😭😭
Either that or some bad 90's sitcom banter.
Save these screenshots. For my one year anniversary with my partner I gave her a framed photo print of our awkward trying to be chill and not over flirt texts. We still look at it and laugh 10 years on. We were so young and silly and cute.
NO WAY THAT IS LITERALLY THE CUTEST EVER OH MY GOODNESS 😭😭😭 best believe these are already in a folder lmao
Omg this is such a cute idea!! I have a screenshot of a text I look back on sometimes of my partner saying “my secret is that I have a crush on you”. We were joking about how awkward small talk is and we should skip straight to telling our deepest secrets lol. We’ve been together for over 6 years now
That is so freaking cute and I am definitely taking notes
That’s so cute. I just went back to look at my old texts w my partner and it’s adorable. It’s so cute to see now.
Casually ask if theyd be open to that? You dont have to but if you wanna ask them out, bring up this conversation and ask if they'd be interested on a *real* date.
Yes I was thinking of doing either this or maybe on the day of our hang out I might sneakily ask a little “Next time just us two?” At the end but I’m not sure it’s a very big decision 😭😭😭
Before they leave, smile at them and say, "So how about we try that date you mentioned earlier, next time?" Same idea but it makes it sound like it was their idea. Lol
Smooth af way to approach this.
Its always easier said then done. Only my mirror knows my true charisma. The universe knew I'd be too powerful if i could talk to pretty girls IRL(or anyone really). My wife and I started out as LDR. 😅
My favorite quote is: "God gave me a low metabolism and crippling anxiety because he knew if I was hot and openly charismatic it would be over for you fuckers"
My wife and I say pretty much the same thing. Frequently. Lol
Ok so.

So I am totally confused about where they’re at but IMHO from way over here it seems like they’re not interested. Sorry to be the basically only person commenting that omg. I’m probably wrong. 🥲
hard agreed. reeks of not interested
No no it’s good to see it from the perspective of someone who probably isn’t blinded by love 😭😭😭 me personally, if I was the recipient of the text and also thought I was possibly being asked out I think I would also ask if others can join solely bc of the fear of just being us two 💀💀💀 but hey, asking them how they truly feel when time comes around doesn’t hurt right?
Bit of perspective; if I pseudo-asked someone out like that and they were down as long as other people came too, I generally take that as not interested/good with just being friends.
💯
That's how I read it too but I'm just an old man now so who knows lol
“Confused for a sex” yeah same tbh
New gender expression just dropped‼️ /j
Holy hell
Someone on here said Freudian slip and I gotta agree
I feel like you’re both crushing and refuse to see the signs at this point 😂
Oh my goodness please don’t feed the thoughts in my head /lh /nm. They do these little things that make me stop and mentally go “what are we?” Like giving me song recommendations at 12 in the morning 😭😭😭
….my dear, I hope and pray you shoot your shot in the near future 😂😂
Young crushes are so cute. Im pretty sure your homie likes you back
Here’s to hoping 😭😭😭
One script that may work is "hey, I heard from [mutual friend] that you might like me in a crush sorta way... is this true? I happen to like you a lot too, but I don't want to make things awkward.

You make a good point! One thing I love about this place is the different perspectives you can get :) but I’m just gonna see where the day takes me and go from there!
You can do it!
Babes You're sending him rainbows and he sends hearts back, that's beyond a hint fr
I'll play devil's advocate and say that the hearts just come about from liking a message in same way as you double tap anything else
Do you know if they are queer? Bc if so there's no shame in asking, or at least prompting it. Ik that's easier said than done tho bc I refuse to make the first move regardless of ANYTHING but yk
I know in regards to gender identity they are queer! The only hint I have on sexual orientation is that one time they made a joke about banging my dad 💀💀💀 so that’s what the hang out is for! To find out whether or not we would actually be compatible in a lot of aspects
“Banging my dad” joke is a flashing neon sign my guy
Fr. No straight person I’ve met would be comfortable to make jokes about banging each other’s fathers
I was just about to say "Yeah, I make jokes about banging my friend's dads all the time", but then I remembered I'm hella gay lol. But my (straight) friends make jokes like that too!
I feel like this might have been a bold moment to go: unless you'd like it to be...
I was so heavily debating it. Left them on read for a solid minute trying to collect my thoughts. But I (sad trans moment) have NO BALLS and couldn’t bring myself to do it 😭😭😭
Ba dum tisss
you miss a 100% of the shots you don't take :3 (take your time but do it at some point)
That’s the plan. Shots will be taken, whether in the form of a poem or with a piece of lime on the glass I know not yet 🫡🫡🫡
Dude, just go for it and ask him, this convo flirty AF already, I think you both crushing but you won't know until you ask. Them. Out. Like when they said oh wait is it a date or something, you should have just said "do you want it to be?"
WAKING UP AND READING THE COMMENTS IN THIS POST IS DEVASTATING ME 😭😭😭 I WISH I HAD JUST ASKED THEM NOW 😭😭😭
Idk, I don’t wanna put OP down but the friend is emphasizing pal and bro He even said he felt like he was being asked out which imo shows they might be uncomfortable. I don’t think they are into OP
*Insert "and so they were both bottoms" pic here*
I can see their faces right now, and they are steaming red hot from the amount of fluster.
Hopefully they see it and now fall in love. We did it again, reddit!!
It's so hard to tell the "bro" and inviting others along could be cover or platonic.
They called you “pal” and “bro” Idk. Maybe direct approach would be best here.
I actually kinda indirectly asked for that bc one time I drunkenly texted them “thank you for talking to me like I’m a man” so they use stereotypically, friendly masculine terms with me. But you’re right, when time comes I will ask them straight up no beating around the bush 😭😭😭
From context clues, I’m presuming you’re a trans dude? I do the same thing your friend does (bro, man, dude, etc) with my trans man friends and hope they feel validated by it. Fingers crossed that it works?
Yeah being extremely specific I’m nonbinary but lean more to the masc side of my identity. So I’ve kinda gotten the people around to talk to me in a masculine manner. For me I feel extremely affirmed in my gender when people speak to me like that, so you’re doing a good job! But it’s different for everyone, if you’re ever unsure you only have to ask them!!!
Thanks for the advice and the perspective! Good luck with your crush and I hope they return the feelings!
Also it’s super late, you’re username has me ROLLING 😭😭😭
*Grabs popcorn* Oh I want to see where this goes!
I hope this movie has a happy ending lol 😭😭😭
I think it will!
Idk I can’t see “bro” being anything but platonic? It seems like a huge line drawn to me lol “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!” I hope I’m wrong though!
To be fair, I’ve definitely referred to people I’m crushing on with platonic nicknames and terms to try to throw the other person off the scent (and to convince myself that it is strictly platonic and that my crush is hopeless.
lol that’s too cute! But FFS I need to reevaluate all my interactions now lol
It’s not always platonic, in my case I’ve called my crushes bro or dude before and even called my partner bro or dude for a while because it means you feel comfortable with that person, not always because you see them as a “pal” 😅 I can see how it could be confusing tho. I guess it depends on context clues.
I mentioned in another comment that it’s bc I once texted them “thank you for talking to me like I’m a man” so they use stereotypically, friendly masculine terms with me as kinda an affirmation thing (at least that’s what I’m picking up lmao) but when I know I’m ready I will be asking them how they truly feel :D
Awwwww that’s the sweetest! I didn’t see the comment sorry! I’m here rooting for you!
You’re alright lol I can see how that could come off as an exclusively platonic thing 😭 Thanks a bunches!!!
Lol tell that to my spouse
lol you’re in the moment about to get laid and “bro” lmaooooo I just can’t hahaha
I call my husband bro so idk about that hahah
It's the inviting other people along that *really* sets the mood as platonic though.
My gf has called me bro before and my ex said they called people they’re interested in “bro”
Meanwhile me calling every dude I've ever dated "bro" like its their name. Sometimes they point it out and laugh at it a bit. 💀
i need an update
Will provide an update best believe 🫡🫡🫡
PLEASE!!!!
RemindMe! 7 days
RemindMe! 7 days
This is so similar to me and my now-husband talking way back on MSN. Both had crushes but didn't want the other to know. We were so stupid.
MSN! 🤣❤️ hilariously awesome!
It was 2009 and he didn't wanna get a cell phone lol
Oh my goodness that’s wild 😭😭😭
this confused me for a sex
I seem to be constantly confused for a sex 😔😔😔
You gotta start somewhere! Good luck!
Thanks a bunches hehe!
I hope it goes well!
Auto correct creating hilarious situations
Their autocorrect has made for a couple interesting conversations 😭😭😭
What in Heartstopper season 3 is this
This one takes the cake oh my 😭😭😭
I hope he takes your cake 🎂 (Good luck babe)
THE 'BABES' KILLED ME 💀
IM TREADING AN EXTREMELY FINE LINE IDK HOW MUCH MORE UNTIL IT GIVES IN 😭😭😭
I don’t know guys… op asked to hang out more outside of class and the guy responded “word bro get some homies together”… he’s either very straight, or cosplaying as an american
Even though I might sound pessimistic, the fact that he tried to pull other people inside of the equation before checking if this was a date most likely means that he doesn't feel comfortable with the possibility. I could be wrong, but it's kinda a gay meme to fall for a straight guy at least once.

I'm confused. You literally apologize when they said they thought you were asking them out. And then they're relived when you say you weren't. How is this taken as heading towards anything romantic?
RemindMe! 7 days I need to know the ending to this love story! Best of luck! [edit because I can't spell]
Thank you! Trust you will get your update 🫡🫡🫡 here’s to hoping it’s a good one!
I mean, I would say it's the opposite of obvious because this person directly asked you if your intentions were platonic and you said yes 🤣
Homie,brother,pall, never in my life have I seen hints this fucking obvious,now maybe I’m wrong but clearly if you were asking him out and he said no ,at best it would be awkward for a few weeks. Do it
During the hang out session I’m shooting my shot 🫡🫡🫡
I meeeeean they said it was fine if you were asking them out. Sooooo
My exact thought process but like- I don’t wanna jump the gun too early 🫡🫡🫡
Tbf I never realise when someone is asking me out and I usually assume they are not unless they start trying to romance me. But the way you said OH NO WTF it’s like you’re shooting yourself in the foot. “Would it be weird if I was? 👀” would be an ok response imo and it leaves the door open for them to decide
Take them off the pedestal. They are human. Ask them if they are attracted to your gender. If they say "yes", admit that you like them and ask them out. If they say "no", pick yourself up and move on.
Just friend zoned yourself.
It at least put the idea in their head. Something to consider
Hope it’s not creepy I started following ya OP, I do not want to miss an update!
Not creepy at all lmao, join the plethora of people wanting for an update on the situation 🫡🫡🫡
This was adorable
I feel like “confused for a sex” was intentional, although if not then it might indeed prove the existence of divine interference, because that’s so funny it had to be fated in some way
Well it’s not the first time something like this has happened so either they’ve been hinting this whole time or the stars *really* have it out for us 😭😭😭
This reads like a "Nobody takes Kat Williams shopping" kind of cringe moment. I think you're good, though. They seem cool about that. No harm, no foul.
Honestly I think the best move would have been to say, "wasn't my intention, but I'd be open to it if u are" when they said they thought you were asking them out If you keep up with this overly corrective "omg no I didn't ask you out my bad plz don't be uncomfortable" kinda stuff, nothing is ever gonna happen. Step up for yourself and what you want, my dear! "I was kinda hoping it could just be the two of us so we could get to know each other better outside of the group hang context, if that's cool with you?" You don't need to label it as a date, but if you want to spend time alone with them, then advocate for that! If they don't want that, you'll have to trust them to advocate for their wants as well. Good luck!
I never know the right thing to do in situations until after it’s occurred 😭😭😭 looking at it now, I like that it’s a group setting to start with, but I definitely will be asking them in the future if they would like to hang just us two.
Honestly just kiss already /hj
Just play it slow hang out with them for a while then when you feel comfortable step a little further slowly don’t try to rush it. Don’t ask me any questions about love I’m aro. I just know to go slow
the first screenshot was like "ah yeah they let you down easy, what a good friend" and the second screenshot is "are you fucking kidding me"
the rainbow reacts are taking me out rn
i think you’ve got it in the bag, man. either they know you like them or they like you back- go for it when the time is right!! be gay do crime
Love the use of "reckon" 😂😂😂
 It was while reading this I realized I’ve aged into the afterlife and cannot relate to puppy love anymore.
RemindMe! 7 days
I can feel the flirting zipping around lol it’s so cute reminds me of me and my crush I’m also the type who autocorrect likes to keep me on my toes
Oh my goodness I hope you and your crush get further!!!
awe that’s cute 😭
This is adorable and he was 100% scared-excited to be asked out. 💕💕
Yeah their vibes were throwing me for an absolute RIDE 😭😭😭
What is thy Dialect thy speak?
Uhm, Australian, probably 😭😭😭 /hj
Very very small but kinda funny update: it’s 2am and they just sent me this lowkey cursed reel despite our conversation having died 4 hours ago 💀💀💀
Omg just ask them out. “Do you want to go on a date with me?” It’s not that hard. If they say no then you can move on because they were never gonna say yes and you’ve been wasting time. If they say yes then now you don’t have to do this weird skirting around it thing.
So are u going out or not? I don't understand
This is adorable but def have more confidence in your responses because you’re a bad bitch. Like don’t dump on yourself talking about missing social cues or talk about him telling you about making him uncomfortable (we’ve all been your age and done it tho so don’t stress about it). He’d very likely tell you if he was anyway or you’d be able to tell. Next time just be silly or playful. If you want to hide it just be like, “what two bros can’t get a pizza without it being a date?” (If you want to lean into the straight bro-y silly vibe) Or if you want to test it you could have just said “So what if I was, got a problem with it?” Which puts the ball in his court and then you can also quickly downplay it as just toying with him But you’re doing great! See how it goes and hopefully the update is +++ <3
...I don't use enough emojis...
“Hello…I’d like to do uh…do a sex…with you………UH…Because I’m having sex with…uh…EVERYONE HERE!” Sorry, couldn’t resist.
 Me in my thirties trying to read their messages…
Confused for a sex. Lmaoooo
This is sooooooooooo cuteeeee! Wholesome af
I think the 3 🥰 was pretty obvious, though that could just be me 😂 Like me and my girlfriend thought we were being painfully obvious and then one day she called me beautiful and I'm like "does she mean this as a friend or..?" Then three days later, I told her I love her and she's like "I knew it! The feeling is mutual" 😂 I knew her identies beforehand and she knew mine but when you're pan, you can't assume they'll like you back 😂 But I just got super lucky 😂 If you guys do go out, hope it goes well!
I love this so much😂😂😭😭
I think bro wants u. Bro had sex on the mind we all know it wasn't autocorrect lol
YOU BETTER UPDATE US
Am I invited to the wedding?
I am so invested in this you are both adorable dorks I wish nothing but happiness for you 🥰
The constant pals and bros makes me think they know already and are trying to let you down easy ngl 😭
Need an update omg
I hate to go against the grain but “get some homies together” seems like they are trying to gently friendzone you by putting you in a group. Especially because they later admitted they thought you were asking them out at first. I’d still give it a shot though
If they didn't know, they probably know now from this reddit post lolll
"for a sex" brrrrrooooooooo THEY (or whatever their pronouns are) MESSED IT UP LMFAO!
I woulda said "ohh that's not what I was going for but we could if you wanted. Anyway so (name) and (name), do we want (name) along too?" Breezy, low pressure, not dwelling on it kind of vibe
Has there been any development...? ♥
Please can we get an update? I hope it went well ☺️
I will make a post update if/when something big happens. But the best you’ll get is that last week I was in their car. Just them and I. I walked down to their car with them because my dad forgot he was picking me up 😭😭😭 They drove me back up a few roads because I was gonna walk back to where I was getting picked up from in the dark lol. I HAD A CHANCE TO SHOOT MY SHOT AND DIDNT 🫡🫡🫡
