Caught in a Crush Dilemma

Hey everyone,

I need some advice. I have a huge crush on this really attractive guy – let’s call him Alex. We don’t talk much, but we make a lot of eye contact. Almost every time I look at him, he’s looking back at me. I think that’s a good sign, right?

But here’s the problem: we don’t actually interact much, and it’s driving me crazy. I don’t have Alex’s number, and now that school has ended, I feel stuck. One day, he took my phone from my desk and started taking selfies on it. Was that a sign?

To complicate things, one of my friends also likes Alex and has told people about it. So, I can’t just go and flirt with him. I haven’t told anyone about my feelings, and it’s really eating me up inside. I know someone who has his number, and I’m tempted to ask for it, but that might raise questions.

I feel like I have a chance, but I’m too scared to start anything. What should I do?

It doesn't matter who likes Alex. The important thing is who does Alex like!
If youre worried about how your friend will feel, I'd say the best thing would just be to tell them how you feel about Alex. However it really depends what kind of person they are and how you think they'd take it if you told them, but it might really help just to talk it out.. I'm in a very similar situation at the moment, and I was nervous to tell my friend that I had feelings for the same person as her, but she really didnt mind and it felt good just to be on the same page. All I'm saying is that some communication might just make the situation a little less complex- hope that helps!

Hi everyone,
Thanks for all your advice! I decided to talk to Alex earlier today and it turns out he likes me too. We had a great conversation and started hanging out more. I also talked to my friend and explained the situation. She was initially upset but appreciated my honesty. We're working through it, and our friendship is still intact. It feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
Thanks again for your support!
