    I was a coward and sent my crush this long message about how I like him. You know just kind of putting it out there. I said in the message, I know this is odd and out of nowhere, but I really like you and I have for a while. He replied back (to my utter disbelief) Thanks Love, I don’t think its odd ( I guess me telling him via message) but I am really flattered. Ending the message with a Kissie face emoticon Lol this is the stupidest thing but its been on my mind. In the message I didn’t ask how he felt about me, nor did I insinuate that I wanted to be in a relationship with him. But I just expressed how I wanted him to know that I liked him. So I guess in a way his response makes sense. Also I’m a second year college student and never dated so I just really have no clue what the crap I’m doing out here. Someone, anyone save me…Lol

    It means you stroked his ego. Now sit back and let him do something or do nothing, it’s out there, if he likes you back he will make it happen.

    If you keep sending messages you’re going to look like a stalker.

    Lol oh no I haven’t messaged him at all since then..! That’s what I’d decided to do is just wait and see. Just throw that out there and see what he does..Thanks for answering! I thought it meant he wasn’t interested in me honestly though…

    I have used the whole ‘I am flattered’ response with a lot of guys when I am genuinely fond of them as people as they are amazing human beings but not sure whether I like them back in a romantic way. Now you just sit back and relax because hey! he has taken it well for starters and if he wants to pursue this he will initiate. You have nothing to lose but don’t do anything for now.

    Lol thanks Shanaya..!! That was my first thought..I’m like dang..He said “Thank You” well that’s over..But before I told him that I liked him he did ask me out. We made no plans or anything..So I felt like since he got back in contact with me after a while (like after a few months of us not talking at all and asked me out) I thought I’d gamble…But we’ll see..He is very inconsistent..But I really feel as if I make him nervous.

    He asked you out? Great! It’s okay if there is no date yet. Continue to be charming and he will ask you out with a date and a time. Just relax and stay charming! :)

    He did..! It was one of the first things he asked when we “talked” and then I told him how I felt a little later..So I’ll try to be calm..Thanks so much for your replies..!

    I can only speak for myself but if I were to say “i’m flattered” that would mean it’s not mutual.
    If I liked someone I would say, I’m so glad you told me that, because I feel the same.

    Hi! I am 26 years old and feel in love with a co -worker. It all began when I started a new job, after working there like a few weeks. One day I was helping a customer in front of the bosses’ office which was about 10 steps from me. So, I felt a need to look at the office and my now crush was standing there looking at me with a smile but I thought he was overseeing my work. The funny thing is he was standing there looking at me while talking to our boss but he was not facing him at all. Then, he continued to stare at me and would go on to the kitchen when ever I went to lunch. So I fell in love but felt bad because at times he would act interested and then move away also the stress of work got to both of us and we would argue like a game at least for me. But he would get frustrated with me and my friend would tell me you are driving him crazy he is upset what did you do! Even our co workers new and saw our chemistry. Well, months went by we were talking about dreams amoung everyone! So I mentioned I wanted to live downtown and showed my co workers the photo. Including him, to them mention I did not like the color of the living room. To that he responds WE can change that. Then he showed me the dog that he dreamed of , one day he asked me to go with him to an event it was to begin a business and be a client, and so I did. But I did because I wanted him to be near him because I am deeply in love , but that just brought people to come between us and
    the last time we saw each other was at the last event and he said that I wasn’t commiting. But, I was trying and I did not know we even were in a relationship , I mean yes he bought me drinks all the time and gave me certain attention but it was never clear. Well, after that I apologized to him for everything that happend he did too and just a few days ago I told him the truth behind everything which is I love him. His response was I am flattered but I am in a committed relationship. So I told him that I respected that and that I was going to back away and not contact him anymore to respect her and that still our friendship and he said you are never a bother and that his girlfriend knew about me and that she was not a jealous person. That I could talk to him anytime and he stalks me on Instagram. Is he into me but it is the relationship he is in?

    So I have waited for a year and I told a guy that I liked him and he tells me that that was flattering so we’ve been talking for 5 months some phone calls mostly text messaging sending streaks on Snapchat in the text messages it seems like he’s giving me mixed signals but then when I flirt with him he shoots me down so I really don’t know where I stand right now or what to even think I had sent him something stating that I give you the key to my heart you know what you do with it and he told me that is very flattering but it’s the meaning is not International so I’m not really understanding what he’s meaning and when I tell him that he shoots me down or stops me he says well I like the way you shift things and blame me but if I’m trying to make the moves on this guy and everytime I flirt with them he shoots me down I don’t understand what he’s meaning or what he wants
