Kleinu rants about someone she has a “crush” on
There’s a guy at work that I have a MAJOR “crush” on, and I put crush in quotations because...crush seems like an immature term. What I mean is, I like him.
A lot.
He’s cute, kind, motivated.
He’s even been motivating me to go to the gym with him this past week.
Problem is, he has a girlfriend.
But the other day, he was complaining to me about her and it’s just...what do you do when someone you like is complaining about the person they’re with?
Ask them why they’re still with them? I mean, I’d love to ask him that, but it seems extremely rude to say something, esp. when it’s really none of my business.
But here lies problem numero dos. (probs spelled that wrong, oh well.)
He’s been flirting with me. Well, according to other people I work with, he has. But I don’t know whether to think that he’s just being REALLY nice or if he’s actually flirting, or if that’s just how he interacts with friends that are girls??
I don’t know.
I feel like I want to ask him if he’s flirting with me (I mean, I’m pretty sure he knows that I like him...people can’t NOT talk to him about certain things I’ve said, nor can I keep my face from turning red when he says something that I perceive as “flirting.”) but I’m so afraid that he’ll be like “oh, no, I don’t mean to make you think I am” because honestly, that would really hurt.
Why is it that I have to be someone that “crushes” so easily?
Like, this is a problem.
I don’t know what to do. I suppose I don’t really want to do anything in fear of rejection or messing things up with he and his gf.
I just hate that I have to like someone that’s taken.
If he were single, this wouldn’t be an issue.
Why can’t he just....be single.
