So I've noticed a lot of threads on EC (and I believe I posted one, but I'm too lazy to go look haha) about mixed signals and straight crushes. Now, and this actually makes me laugh, it isn't depressing, I don't get mixed signals from straight crushes (I had 1 straight crush and it screwed with my head enough that I decided I'd only go after someone if I KNEW they were into guys i.e. if they told me or were out), I get them from non-straight crushes. All except the one I have now, which has started to become more than a crush on both our ends. Any other guy I talked to would be a little flirty over FB or whatever, but whenever I'd ask if they wanted to "hang out" (those were always my exact words) I got silence, except from, like I said, this guy :3 and I know we both really care about each other. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you're aggravated about straight crushes sending you mixed signals, or any crush doing that, make sure you don't do it yourself.
I agree with you completely, but sometimes people can't help being attracted to straight people. Also, BEEEEEEEEEEN <3
I'm not necessarily referring to having a straight crush, but knowing the crush is straight and trying to turn the crush into a relationship i.e. ("I can turn him"). And you're right about Ben :3
Good points. My first same-sex crush was gay, but that only added to the weirdness that followed my telling her that I liked her. It was clear that there was no possibility of a relationship, but she gave some very mixed signals about our friendship. (e.g. She seemed to be avoiding me much of the time, yet when I talked to her she would invite me to go hang out with her, only to cancel at the last minute because she was "busy"...and then reschedule for a later date.) In all fairness I have no idea what signals I was sending. I am always easily confused by social situations and emotions. I tried to lay out my expectations and explain my feelings, but I honestly have no idea what an outside observer would have thought.
