Question

What if my crush is in multiple classes with me?

Community Answer

It can be difficult to move on from someone when you share many classes. Try to sit away from your crush and spend time with other friends in your classes instead.

Question

What if your crush is dating your friend but you've been friends with him longer?

Community Answer

If your crush is already dating someone, they won't be able to give you what you need. Find someone who is available so that you aren't setting yourself up for rejection.

Question

I'm not popular, but he kind of is and he sits next to me in class. How do I start a conversation?

Community Answer

Try to find an area of common interest. Strike up a conversation about something you both have in common. Alternately, ask him a question about his life, for example, "How long have you been playing guitar?" People generally like to talk about themselves!

Question

What does it mean if one of his friends tells you he likes you but he was to embarrassed to say but then his other friend says he doesn't? Which one do I believe?

Community Answer

If he isn't showing interest in you, then he probably doesn't like you. Find someone who sees how wonderful you are.

Question

How do you deal with having a crush on your best friend?

Community Answer

Having a crush on your best friend can be challenging. Try to hint that you are interested by flirting and see how they respond. If they aren't interested, respect that and find someone who is interested.

Question

I like a guy very much but he doesn't give me very much attention and we are separated. We now live in different countries. What should I do?

Community Answer

Long-distance relationships are difficult. If the guy you like isn't putting in the effort to maintain the relationship, it probably isn't going to work. You never want a one-sided relationship. Try to find someone new where you currently live who appreciates you.
