5 Tips On What To Do When You're Unsure On How Your College Crush Is Feeling About You

In This Article:

We've all been there: you're interested in a guy, but aren't quite sure if he's interested in you.

You talk fairly often (probably more often than you would with a regular friend), you flirt, he calls you sometimes just to talk or to take a break from stress, and you can equally rely on each other when you need a shoulder to cry on; basically, you're in a glorified friendship. The problem is that you want more.

Believe me, I know how you feel, and it SUCKS. Not knowing is always the worst part.

So I've compiled a list. Here are a few things you can do to figure out how he feels:


1. Just ASK Him.

Giphy

Listen, I KNOW it's scary, putting yourself out there. Vulnerability is terrifying, but my mom always told me that if you don't ask, you'll never know, and the answer will therefore always be no. So get out there, put on a brave face, and have that conversation with him. If he says he's interested, then congratulations! You've found yourself a boyfriend! If not, well at least you know; he's missing out, and you deserve someone who will reciprocate!

2. Suggest That You Go On A Date.

Giphy

Things could go one of two ways: you could go out with him on a date, or he can reject you. Regardless, you're going to know how he feels. If he rejects you, it's absolutely NOT the end of the world! Like I said earlier, it's his loss! You will find another guy who you'll love 3000 times more, and he'll feel exactly the same.

3. Up The Flirtatiousness.

Giphy

We can't all be full-senders; I know for a FACT that it'll take me a while to gather the confidence to straight-up ask a guy on a date. So, what we CAN do is crank up the flirting. If he reciprocates, he's either SUPER interested in you too, or he's leading you on; usually, you can tell which one it is based on the character of the guy you're flirting with. I think you all know what I mean...

4. Spend More Time With Him.

Giphy

Sometimes, you can tell how someone feels about you based on how he acts when you're around. If you both flirt with one another, odds are, the more time you spend with him, the more he's going to realize how he feels. Maybe he already knows how he feels and he's just not picking up on any signals you're sending. Sometimes, you just have to be a little bit more obvious.

5. Tell Him How YOU Feel.

Giphy

If all else fails, just be honest. This is your big moment in terms of your "relationship" (obviously not the greatest thing you'll ever do, just like Taylor Swift said, "in your life, you'll do things greater than dating a boy...," but still, a pretty big thing; being honest and open and vulnerable in any capacity is something worth being proud of). You will (most likely) never look back on any time you've been honest about your feelings for someone and wish you hadn't because ultimately, as is with anything in life, there is something to be learned from each and every experience.

To any and all guys out there feeling unsure about how a girl feels about them: these tips can work for you too!

Also, to anyone out there messing with someone's feelings or taking advantage of the fact that they're interested in you: it's not cool. Exploiting someone's feelings for you is a very low thing to do; consider how you might feel if the one person you were super into did the same to you.

I hope this list does some good for someone out there. I hope to look on and see via Instagram that you've fostered a relationship with the person of your dreams. Good luck!

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
