Can't decide if it's a man crush or if I fancy him

You might just find him attractive, doesn't mean you fancy him or want to be with him. If you're not bothered that he won't return any feelings for you then that's probably it. Enjoy the eye candy without having any strings attached.

You're probably right, but don't you think it's a little strange that he's on my mind literally all the time, I've never been that emotionally attached to someone before.
There are guys I think are attractive but I don't think about them all the time, and I'm not emotionally attached to them either.

I didn't think of that, sorry >.< You could fancy him but not want to do anything about it since he's straight. I'm not sure I mean look at all these people having crushes on celebrities, they think of them all the time but don't go crazy about it.. (unless they're 12 that is)

Honestly try not to let this get to you too much. Sexuality is confusing and if it's not causing a huge problem (as in you're craaazy about him and don't know what to do) just go with it until you figure it out

Yeah you're probably right, I'm probably making a big deal out of nothing. It's not really causing a huge problem as I feel no pain for the fact he is straight, it's just I've never admired anyone in the way I've done with him.

Although one thing that worries me is that I might one day genuinely catch feelings for him, and I really don't want to! I'm kind of scared it's heading in that direction...

Have your feelings been getting stronger?

Kind of. In a friendly sort of way though, but a little more intense than with my other friends.

I'll just carry on as normal and wait and see what this is all about.

I think that's a good idea! Maybe you just think he's really awesome and hot, haha.. sorry if I'm no help >.<

Yeah! No you did help, I have literally no one to talk to about this as I'm not out the closet to anyone yet, and the fact you replied to this thread meant I had someone to get this off my chest to, so thank you 😊
