Why I’m building this (a woman’s perspective)
Last year I caught feelings for one of my closest friends. We’d been friends since the first week of school, we lived on the same floor in res and we were basically always together, and at some point I realized I liked him as more than that.
I kept waiting for him to say something, because that’s kind of how it’s supposed to go, right? The guy makes the first move. Except he never did, and after a few months of overthinking every single conversation I finally just told him.
I just don’t see you like that.
He was super nice about it and said he didn’t want things to change, and I honestly think he meant it. But they did change. It’s hard to explain. We still hang out and we still talk, but now I think about everything I say to him before I say it, and I’m pretty sure he does too.
The part that sucks the most is that I went out of my comfort zone and did the thing girls are always told not to do, and it went badly. Now there’s a guy in one of my classes I actually really like, and I haven’t said a word to him. I don’t think I will.
If I’d liked him on QueensCrush instead, he never would have found out. If he’d liked me back we both would have known, and if not, nothing would have changed between us.
That’s honestly all I want this to be: a way to find out if it’s mutual without risking a friendship, and without it mattering who goes first.
