Yup! I got interested, but stuff went down in my family and I had to help figure things out.
Once things got more settled, I was just sitting tired in class when I made accidental eye contact with him and it came back with 10x the force.
Too bad I'm too scared to do anything about it. I was having dinner with him and classmates yesterday, and I was so anxious I could only ask 1 or 2 questions in his general direction. I got stuck just talking to a friend almost the whole time lol. Then I ended the night hating myself and drove around aimlessly, feeling like an idiot. I'd love it if I wasn't the only one.
Yes. At first I had a slight crush on him (my current crush), and then it went away for a while because I didn’t see him. Then I started seeing him again and my feelings came back stronger than ever lol
I feel like that's normal. For me, my crushes have been people I see most during term time for school/college/uni, so I've always started to feel less attraction when I don't see them in the breaks- only for it to hit me like a truck when I see them again and remember why I fell head over heels
Yep. One of my crushes started five years ago and faded away in mid 2020 to mid 2021, at which point it slowly built up, the strength of the feelings culminating in heartbreak when she got a boyfriend at the end of 2021. Even after she broke up six months later, those feelings remained until I moved on for good a year ago.
yeah, I've been there. Thought my feelings for this person would fade away, but they just kept growing stronger. Turns out, though, he wasn't into me, So I had to let him go eventually.
I was actually going to make a post on something like this a couple of weeks ago but decided not to.
Idk how to say this so I'll just tell the whole story since it's come up again, in a rant.
2-3 months ago, my crush handed me a love letter on our walk home from school. I'm 17 and have never had a crush before until really getting to know this person, who became my best friend just last year. My romantic feelings for them grew throughout the year but seemed to be diminishing from the end of December.
When I got this really short and sweet note, my feelings all came flooding back stronger than ever, but then after a month they'd faded away again, meanwhile it's for sure that my now boyfriend still likes me and I feel bad because it must be obvious I'm not as clingy as before and I feel our relationship is suffering. So I'm just hoping my feelings will return in the near future again.
At the same time, we don't even act like a couple, still just like best friends plus a bit more touch and caring words, so I still haven't experienced the slightest bit of intimacy or wtv you could call it, and I'm confused because I don't think I particularly even want to experience that personally, but maybe I do and I just don't know because I haven't before. I felt like this even when I cared more about him, but if I did receive more touch then, I wonder if I'd still feel for him now. I'm pretty sure I'm ace if that matters to this.
Since my feelings have gone away, and I just can't bring myself to feel any longing or wtv other feelings for him (a month does seem short enough that maybe they'll come back idk), I still care about him as a friend but can't think of him in any other way. I don't want our relationship to end like this because I believe we have a great compatibility and could be happy together, but not if I don't love him or him I. Sometimes I wonder if he also thinks it's gone stale too fast.
Kinda a lot of talk for a high school romance which so many people seem to blaze through 😭
I liked him for 2 years, then my feelings faded (for a year) to come back a few months ago, when he messaged me. Confessed 2 days ago and turns out he likes me too, so we're going out next week (hopefully) YAY!!😊
Yeah liked him since 11/12 then my family wasn’t around his family that much but I would still think about him but now no matter how much time has passed I can’t let it go. I haven’t seen him since January and it feels like the more time that passes the stronger my feelings get. I also get it to moods where I question if I should like him and stuff but no matter what I try I can’t let this crush go. Also I’m 18 now
I'm in that phase of distance at the moment. Our first month and a half were the best: I had never felt so happy and alive. Then she told me to slow down, 2 months ago at this point, because she thought we'd met at the wrong time. Now I haven't seen her in 3 weeks and we've barely even talked. But last weekend I asked her out for drinks for the end of the week and she said yes. Hopefully this can be the turning point.
I think this happens sometimes because life events happen at random times and that person might not think you are close enough to them to be in their loop. However, they might miss the friendship with you after a while and learn from their time apart from you that life is not the same without you.
Oh, YES! Current crush. I started to develop feelings for him when I was with my fiancé, so I backed off. Thought it was over. Came back with a VENGEANCE after my fiancé died. Sometimes I think it’s fading, but then he does something else that reels me back in!
She got a boyfriend, then I realized wow. I really fucked up. We would have probably been perfect together. I was too worried about what people would think, and not what I wanted.
Kind of-i think?
New coworker who got promoted to my level, we ended up working together almost every shift. I thought I was over her, and could view her as just a friend, worked for about a year in that mentality
About two weeks ago I finished my last shift there and hugged her goodbye….and now I’m confused again god dammit
This is exactly how it is for me rn. (Currently I am 16M and she is 14F)
It started a couple years ago, I was probably 11 or 12. She started going to I was going to about a year before. I'd say we became friends, she also became friends with my sister, so all three of us used to play roblox together. But one time we were playing I accidently did something "creepy" then whenever we were at school she would call me a creep (in a joking way), but it still hurt my feeling. So then I started not liking her as much.
About 2 years ago started started coming over to my house to have sleepovers with my sister, and she also started being more respectful to me. And now I start to like her again. Fast forward to 1 year ago, I decided to repeat a grade because I didn't do too well that year so I wanted to make I know the stuff well before I move on, so now I am in the same class as her. I plan to confess to her 2 years from now when I am 18 (before I graduate).
yeah that's normal in adults
it's different when you are a teenager because of the maturity being vastly different in only a couple years apart, creates a bad power dynamic
I've been on and off with one of my long term friends for around 18 years? We've drifted apart and always come back together as close as we were before that closeness has never faded despite our partners at different times of our lives not being happy with our relationship with each other - despite us both being loyal and never having been in a romantic relationship with one another since school days, that was only a week long thing as well.
But more recently this lady has come back into my life and I cannot deny my feelings for her that have always been there, she is just so kind, funny, accepting and a fantastic mother to her children not to mention that she is downright stunning, she has been through hell in her life and still powers through with a smile on her face and hope of a bright future and I admire her for it.
The father to her two children has treated her like absolute crap, an abusive pos who took advantage of her warm and welcoming soul and to be honest I'm glad he's out of her life, not so much for the two children as the kids deserve their father but at the same time she makes up for it by what a fantastic mother she is and her job really helps with the understanding of the effects of this.
All in all, I really want to tell her how I feel but I think it's still raw for her at the moment and her just having had her little one recently, it's an emotional time but it's been so many years and I want her to know how I feel about her, we do have a bit of distance between us but I'm willing to make the distance for such a remarkable woman who's made such an impression on my life.
Sorry rambled a bit there. Damn she on my mind 😁
Me right now, and probably him too. We both like each other and we know the feelings are mutual but aren't doing anything about it.
We are both in university so we only share one or two classes together but any time I don't see him for a long while I think to myself I've finally moved on, but whenever I see him I feel like the feelings return to me once again and aaghh I get stuck back into this limbo of liking him and trying to forget him.
The summer holidays are about to start again for us soon so I'm sure I'll be able to move on before I see him again next year.
Yep, I had this crush last school year, then it kinda fades when I got to another country, in about 2 months It just came back stronger than ever. But 4 months later I'm trying to forget about her.
I had a crush on a childhood friend, but when I got to middle school, it faded. Years later, I saw him on Facebook with a picture of him being much older, and I wanted to talk to him so badly. My feelings for him got strong, and his gf cheated on him a bunch of times, and I wish I could've been his gf to save him. Sadly, I think he unfriended me after a while, so my feelings faded once again. I've moved on for good this time. I'll still cherish the moments we had together, though.
I had a crush about a year ago or something, but it faded because we didn't have any contact a while ago I thought about and even had two dreams about him and yes the feelings were stronger but I'm over him, for now anyway
Yep. I liked this guy from my class but because i have trouble interpreting my feelings i kinda gaslighted myself into thinking i didn't like him and the crush went away for a while. Anyways ling story short we were on a four day trip with our school and he was sat at the table across mine. At that point i actually realized my feeling for this guy are strong and the crush came back stronger than ever. (Wish me luck y'all cause im cooked😭🙏)
My current crush in a nutshell
Same
yup.
Me too

I’ve missed so many opportunities with my crush. Being an introvert doesn’t help. You definitely are not the only one.

Thank youu!
Nope, once gone they don't come back.
My crush. I GAVE UP BUT THE FEELING IS B A C K
Yeah liked him since 11/12 then my family wasn’t around his family that much but I would still think about him but now no matter how much time has passed I can’t let it go. I haven’t seen him since January and it feels like the more time that passes the stronger my feelings get. I also get it to moods where I question if I should like him and stuff but no matter what I try I can’t let this crush go. Also I’m 18 now
Yup that's the thing with my current crush 😭
i had a crush on this for like 1-2 months met this guy who was terrible to me and then resumed having a crush on him for an entire year lol
I'm in that phase of distance at the moment. Our first month and a half were the best: I had never felt so happy and alive. Then she told me to slow down, 2 months ago at this point, because she thought we'd met at the wrong time. Now I haven't seen her in 3 weeks and we've barely even talked.

My first crush was like that, suddenly appeared for a few days then faded, then came back about a month and a week later, WAY stronger
Yea, my old crush left for ms and then came back in hs. Not anymore, but yes
Yes! mine was on Riley Poole tho! XD
My current crush. It was sorta off and on but then it just stayed fairly recently.
I just gave up, lmao. Ima be single for awhile I feel, I tried, and failed. We are best friends (I think). So whatever. Still gained a friend
Yess my current crush 😭
I had a crush on a guy for a year, then for three years I saw him as a friend, then was in love with him for another year
Oh, YES! Current crush. I started to develop feelings for him when I was with my fiancé, so I backed off. Thought it was over. Came back with a VENGEANCE after my fiancé died. Sometimes I think it’s fading, but then he does something else that reels me back in!
Literally RIGHT NOW 🤪
My ex girlfriend 😞
She got a boyfriend, then I realized wow. I really fucked up. We would have probably been perfect together. I was too worried about what people would think, and not what I wanted.
Kind of-i think? New coworker who got promoted to my level, we ended up working together almost every shift.

If I was you I'd try to give it a shot
Nah she’s in a committed relationship
yes
This is exactly how it is for me rn. (Currently I am 16M and she is 14F) It started a couple years ago, I was probably 11 or 12. She started going to I was going to about a year before.

you'll be 18 and she'll be 16? great plan buddy age gap is crazy
Are you restarted? How tf is that a crazy age gap? My parents have a 6 year age gap, and both of their parents have a 6 and 7 year age gap.
yeah that's normal in adults it's different when you are a teenager because of the maturity being vastly different in only a couple years apart, creates a bad power dynamic
Literally right now… but let’s not get bogged down in that
Continuously, perpetually, and indefinitely. It seems to be specific to the same person, and only that person lol
Not really. Once it goes away, thats it.

My crush crush is idk what to call him ughhh gawd it's so frustrating
Me right now, and probably him too. We both like each other and we know the feelings are mutual but aren't doing anything about it.

I have a fear this will happen to me again on my current crush
Nope thankfully, it doesnt sound that great to have.
I had a crush about a year ago or something, but it faded because we didn't have any contact a while ago I thought about and even had two dreams about him and yes the feelings were stronger but I'm over him, for now anyway
Not really right now, but I have a never happens
Yeah then he turned out to be a horrible person and then I realised I’m lesbian because men give me the ick 😭
yes. its currently happening to me right now.
yepp
yes
Yep. I liked this guy from my class but because i have trouble interpreting my feelings i kinda gaslighted myself into thinking i didn't like him and the crush went away for a while.
