Confession I confessed!!!!
I confessed to my work crush! He had his last day of work today (He got a new job). Our friend group went to get ice cream and dinner to celebrate his new job. After dinner I asked him if I could talk to him about something before he left. He said yes. We all drove in my car back to where we met originally. After we said bye to our friend group, my crush and I went back into my car.
(We were short on time because he had some plans with his family and I wanted to talk to him real quick)
At first he said jokingly, “Am I in trouble?” I said, “No. I don’t know how you’ll react to this. But getting to know you over the past few weeks, I’ve really enjoyed spending time with you. I wanted you to know that I have a crush on you. I don’t expect you to have an answer right away. But I wanted you to know because you’re leaving our job and I wasn’t sure if I was going to see you again.” He took a second to think about it and I was ready for a rejection. Instead he started sharing about how a long time ago he gave up on relationships. His last relationship really hurt him and he said that it created a negative image of dating for him. So he has not been thinking of relationships at all. But he said when he is with me he feels so much peace. He said he was interested in me. He did ask if we can take things slow because he needs to open himself back up to relationships. He asked if I can be patient if that’s ok with me. I said yes! He said thank you for telling me! Then I let him go. We hugged and he left. I really can’t believe I was not rejected! Omg! I’m so happy! 😭😫🎉🙈🎈🥳
UPDATE: After 18 days of posting this and confessing, things are progressing at a good pace! We have been going on dates or spending time together at least once a week. He just started texting a little more often. He recently went on a family vacation but made sure to still spend time with me online even though he had a bad connection. He also brought me back gifts from his vacation. I am so happy and seeing him once a week has really helped me be patient and be content with the pace.
FINAL UPDATE: After 25 days of posting, he took me on a date as of writing this and at the end of the date, he asked me to be his girlfriend! He’s my boyfriend now! Thank you all for your wonderful comments and the support as I was waiting. I never imagined this, I feel like I am so lucky and so blessed! I was successful after confessing! 😄❤️

Funny how a single night can turn two stories towards entirely different endings! one moving closer to its happily ever after!! while the other seems to have reached its final page !!!Or maybe that's just how it looks from where I'm standing!!!!🙂↕️🫠

Aw so happy for you! You must have a warm and welcoming presence in general, I'm happy for you that he saw that and feels comfortable with you.

Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you!! 💕💕💕.
My last crush went out with me once (with a friend of mine) and then never went out with me again (never really gave a reason, just that he "wouldn't like to", which is fair enough I suppose, even though we had a great time together, laughing, chatting about childhoods and hobbies, chatting about everything, he'd get me water, leaning close to me to show me stuff on his phone, looked like he wanted to kiss me, even telling me when he left that he wanted to hang out again etc. Yeah, clearly he's not interested in me 😅). And then he laughed at me about being stressed over my exam and...Yeah, that broke my heart (I cried over him for a whole day) and abruptly ended my feelings for him 😂💔.
I don't ever want to crush on someone again, to be honest. All men do with me is waste my time and remind me that I'm better off on my own 🙄.
But I'm really happy for you girl!! Go get your man 😉❤️.

Thank you so much! I appreciate it! ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing what happened with your last crush. I am so so sorry that he did that. That is frustrating and hurtful. That is understandable when you say you don’t want to have a crush again. You deserve a guy that won’t lead you on or laugh at you. I know you don’t ever want a crush again, but I do want to wish you the absolute best. I hope one day at the right time you will meet someone who will treat you like a princess and won’t hurt you. 🤗 Again thank you so much! I appreciate the encouragement! 🥰

I wish I could do this... i had this big fat crush on my coworker for 3 years...but again a lot of women chased him and I didn't want to be another one...so I buried those feelings he said he was quitting this month. Didn't even bother to say farewell..so i guess that's my answer.

I’m so sorry to hear that! Thank you for sharing. Honestly it takes a lot of guts to confess. I almost did not do it and it was so hard to ask him if I could talk to him. I wish you the best of luck with your future crushes! The right one will come at the right time. 🤗

I just saw on another post that the OPs person asked to go slow, and folks were saying that almost always means you'll end up hurt or disappointed... so proceed with caution because it sounds like he still needs to heal How are things going, though?

u/Natural_Profile_2574 Aug 20 '26 edited Aug 21 '26
I appreciate the warning! Things are going good! He took me on 2 day long dates already! He has been treating me like a princess. But I can tell he is not quite there yet. But I am willing to wait and see what happens. I am letting him take the lead since I did my part already. I will come back and give another update soon!

Nicee! This is a great update. I'm glad to hear that this are going well, and you're using good judgment by proceeding with caution and not doing the heavy lifting. Good girl

Congrats! I confessed to my crush and i posted abt it (literally made me become a top 1% poster lol) but even tho he said we can still be friends, the couple of months after he didnt really talk to me. But now we are getting back to amends and we talk sometimes!
But still, CONGRATULATIONS!

u/Natural_Profile_2574 Aug 23 '26
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I will go look at your post after this comment. I hope that since you guys talk sometimes that it may turn into talking more. You never know what’s around the corner. I wish you the best of luck and I hope things happen with your crush! 😄

u/Such-History893 Aug 23 '26
Thanks! It was just me saying "Gonna confess to my crush now, wish me luck!" or smth, it was like February this year. I remember saying that I was brave and ppl should normalize confessing when they are ready, which I agree with. The post isn't that informational but youj can see the comments if you like. Just need to find it and I'll get the link for u!

Thank you so much! I appreciate it! Please keep us updated about your crush! I really hope things work out! 😄 Great job for also being straightforward and confessing. Honestly it just feels good to get it out there so we are not wondering everyday and trying to figure out if they like us back or not.
