    Hello. I'm new here and this is my first post so bear with me. I'm having some relationship/crush struggles and I need anyone's input. Ok so to not make this post too long, there's a guy I like and he's 21 as I'm 18. We've known each other for about 3 months now because of work and I've started to gain some feelings for him. We've hung out outside of work a bit and he's always talking about all the girls he's dated and all that jazz. But I keep getting the vibe that he's flirting with me. For example, he's usually the first one to text since we've exchanged numbers, he's always playing around with me (in mainly a flirty, funny way), and he's always talking about me to other people (as I've heard from others) like we're together and boasts about how great I am. But here's the struggle, he states that he's "straight". But he's always being touchy feely, flirty, and acting like a cute little klutz. And when I decided to step up and ask him, I said "do you like me as in more of a friend"? I don't wanna waste my time chasing after a person I won't be able to be with." And he said "you're not wasting your time." But that's it..... After about 2 hours I brought it up again slightly. He responded with "remember you're not wasting your time trying to flirt with me. The best friend slot is open *laughs* but the other one *blushes* I'm not sure." Sorry if this is long and thank you for reading. I'm just torn between should I try to pursue a relationship with this guy or just surrender? Thank you so much :slight_smile:

    He sounds like he's questioning? Maybe?
    The first same sex attraction is scary. Give him time.

    Yeah I really hope so. It's like every time the topic comes up he beats around the bush and won't give me a straight answer (ba-dum-tiss) it's just frustrating -_-

    Yeah, I'm there with you. Maybe, I don't know, maybe...

    Just give an answer already! It is so hard not knowing. A no would be easier then the waiting. But when they don't know themselves, that's the best we're going to get

    So any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Update: he hasn't responded or texted me today since yesterday was the day since the situation arose. We went ziplining yesterday and I took some pictures and videos of him having a good time. I didn't post them on any social media but he asked me last night "hey can I have those pics or vids of me yesterday?" So I sent them and he decided to post them and didn't give any credit that I took them, or even acknowledged that I was with him :/ I'm just so flustered at the moment. Again, any input is greatly appreciated c:
