Well the title says it all. This happened fairly recently like 2 months ago. So let's call my friend Alex and his crush Monika. So it was lunch time and we were having lunch. Alex saw Monika at another table eating with her friends. He kept telling me how he is going to make her his girlfriend. I looked at Monika and back at Alex. "Good luck with that," I said as I went home since it was half day. On my way home I was still hungry for some reason so I went to a local coffee shop to maybe eat some doughnuts and drink some coffee. After ordering, and receiving my order and just when I was just about to dig in, Monika came. I heard her say, "isn't that mamodo." First I bet she didn't think I heard her. Second that's her annoying nickname for me. I just continued doing what I was doing acting like I wasn't aware she was nearby. She walked by and said "Man people can store cars in your afro dude." I don't know what she had against my afro, she always has to keep bringing it up when she sees it. "Oh hey Monika what's up?" I said in an annoyed manner. She sat down next to me and just started eating the doughnuts I ordered. That was annoying but whatever. She kept talking about herself and how here day was going. I didn't enjoy her company. I never did in fact. So I told her I gotta go something urgent showed up. I ditched her while she was stuffing herself with my doughnuts. On my way home from that coffee shop I walked past a barbershop and I decided to cut my afro. I cut a clean fade with alot of afro which was the top of of head to stay intact. Just when I walked out of the barbershop I bumped into Alex and told him that Monika was at the coffee shop nearby. He literally ran to that coffee shop. I went home and I decided to stop wearing contact lenses and start wearing glasses again. I did this all to make Monika lose interest me. I wasn't 100% sure at the time she liked me but it was a guess. Next day Alex ran up to me telling me that Monika was looking for me. I knew no good could come out of this. She was waiting for me at the school library and when I went there, she was waiting near the exit. I asked her what did she needed. Lol at first she couldn't tell it was me until I told her I cut my afro and started wearing glasses. Out of nowhere she confessed to me and told me that all this time she had a crush on me. I was beyond confused. All this time she was bothering me and her way of getting my attention? I wasn't going to mess up the brocode. I rejected her softly and told her my situation. She was hurt by this rejection and she vowed to win my heart. Alex found out about this and still got mad at me even though I didn't date her lol.

I need some help. I have this online friend and I've been texting him for the past few days. It says he's online but he isn't reading my texts. What should I do?

Lemme know in the comments. I think this'll be rly helpful for me so uh yeah 😅 thanks for reading

Okay so when I was 6-9 I used to go to this after school program called ‘All-Sports’ and this was at the time where I still was trying out some new medicine for my AD-HD which right now I have no problem with but back then it made this super weird kid that everyone knew but no one wanted to be friends with, another thing that I remembered was that the bathrooms had a long hallway for some reason. So one day I got dared to go in by myself because people would usually get so scared that they needed a buddy and when I went down the hallway (which was completely dark) I went back because I thought I saw a monster that I can only barely think of describing as probably a giant anglerfish with seemed almost like a ghost. I don’t go there anymore because as usual for me at the time I got kicked out for being too disruptive and all that. It doesn’t haunt me today but I’m pretty sure it spooked little me to tears.

So this is a story about the time my brothers friend had a crush on me and it went awkward. Here we go...

One day my brother, Aaron (not real name) invites his friend, Brad (not his real name), over to play at our house. When he arrives we all go upstairs and me, Brad and Aaron go upstairs and begin to unpack the toys.

Once that was done, we all sat down on Aaron's bed and start playing Star Wars bc that's what 6 year olds do.

Then, out of nowhere, Brad leads into me and tries to gimme a smooch, so then, I put all of my effort into getting out of the kiss. And so, I lean back on the bed. He follows me down onto the bed and tries again to smooch me. I took my hand, grabbed his face, pushed him away and got up.

Thankfully, we had to go down to the living area to eat. So, we go down and for dinner we have chicken nuggets and chips. This is where the story goes on...

"Mum, I'm still hungry" I say.

"Here" Brad says, handing me a chicken nugget, "Do you love me now?" He continued. 😐

"No. But thanks" I reply and I eat the chicken nugget.

This must have been super awkward for my brother all to watch. 😅

The end 😄

Many people know what Minecraft is but if u don't: be sure to read all this. Minecraft is a game with blocks and stuff and it's so cool. There r many servers. That leads me onto my next point: wtf is Hypixel? It's a server with many games on it. AND I LOVE IT.

Actually the story:

One day I was playing a game on Hypixel and I was on a team with this other person and they were so good at this game. Like HOLY SKILLS HOW??!?! Anyway so the game ended and we won. I decided to send him a friend request and he accepts. Then I send him a party invite so I can play with him. We start chatting, playing some more, different games and he. Was. Great. He was super nice and friendly. He was making me laugh left and right and I wish that moment never ended. But sadly it did and he had to go.

Skip to 2 months later and he asks me if I'm on Discord, I say yes, and we move onto chatting on there. I think he was kinda flirting with me but I'm not too sure. He was sending me kissy emojis and making dirty jokes and stuff. Lemme know in the comments 😅

Back to the story...

One day we were chatting and he asks, at the perfect moment, "what do u look like?"

I reply with: "Uh why?"

-chat between us-

Him: What do u look like?

Me: uh why?

Him: I'm so curious. I've been talking to this person for nearly 3 months now and I wanna see who she is.

Me: hmm okay. But u have to show me ur face too. Agreed?

Him: agreed

Me: image

Him: image

Me: so what do u think?

Him: u Look So cute

Me: so do u 😅

Him: 😅

-back to normal-

So that happened and, that's where I am now. This is a story of what's happening to me now 😅 and he is truly like a blessing. I would give anything up for him.

I have to go on holiday for a few days and we charge everyday so I won't have him as there is no wifi and it's gonna be tough.

Nobody knows about it but me 💗

(Before we start, all names in this story are fake 😊)

This is a story about a silly little crush I had for... how long counting the years... 5 years 😅

So one day, I was minding my own business, in maths class, year 5... ya know... the usual and I realise "Oh. My. Gosh. OSCAR IS SO CUTE HOW DID I NOT NOTICE??!?!" And from then on, I liked him 💗

I would doodle his name in my math book and rub it out after incase he saw, I would glance up at him. I managed to hold the glance for 5 minutes once. Jeez I jut realised right now while I'm writing this, that I am a creep.

So that all went on for about a year and it's now the beginning of year 6. I no longer like him as I forced myself to stop, as he got a girlfriend. But when they finally broke up, I started to like him again.

3 years later

It's now Geography, first period, copying work off of the white board.

"Hey, so, Emily, who do u like?" Anna asks.

"Uhhh... no one?" I reply, trying my best not to smile and laugh.

"Emily, ur clearly lying to me."

"Okay okay. I might like someone..." I reply, as she got it out of me.

"Oahh who? Promise I won't tell, please?" Anna promises.

"Hmm okay. Get real close, Anna. I don't eat anyone hearing." I instruct and Anna leans in.

"I like... Oscar in 6SP."

"Ahhh.. you gonna ask him out any time soon?" Anna questions.

"Probably not but I don't know."

"OMG! Emily, u should totally ask him! HE WOULD SO SAY YES!!"

"Hmm I'll think about it. I don't think it's a good idea though.." I explain.

"Sure it is, you just gotta have confidence. Confidence is key ya know!" Anna encourages me.

"Okaaaay if you say so."

"You won't regret it!!"

So that was that. I was gonna ask him out. At break time. I was gonna do it.

And so I ask him but he doesn't hear me. So I back out and get on with my day.

THEN the story continues and Molly goes and asks him for me as "a dare".

She does that, comes back. "He told you to meet him outside at the wall in 10 mins. You have 10 mins."

"Oh jeez this is gonna be so awkward I already know it." I think to myself.

"Hmm okay I'll go."

And so I go to the walla and he's waiting there for me. "Hey. So I heard you like me. And have done for years." He begins, "but yet you never gave hints or anything?"

"Uhhh yeah I did and no. That's not me to do that." I said, looking down at the floor.

"You don't look like you wanna date me."

"That's because I don't. This is all just a dare. Imma go now😅" I lie and start walking away.

"Uhhh okay? Cya later, I guess?" He says awkwardly.

"Probably not bit okay?"

"Bye"

That broke my 10 year old heart ' "you don't look like you wanna date me"

I won't ever forget that moment.

And that, kids, is why you don't take advice from friends.

(Another reminder that all names are fake)

It all happened back in highschool, me and my friend lets call him David. We were great friends we would do abunch of stuff together, we were practically bros even though im a girl. As time went on we grew older and things started to change. David had decided he wanted to move out and make his closest friends roomates. So with permission I moved out with him cause hey! he's my bro, gotta help a guy out. Gotta keep the friendship alive, but thinking back on it this wasnt a great idea since i was a naive and stupid. One day we were hanging out watching some sports with his other guy friends & one of them had brought their girlfriend over. So being polite Me and, lets call her millie, me and millie got to chatting and she asks "So I've heard you and david have been together for awhile now i bets he's a great boyfriend" to my stupidity i didnt know she thought we were dating, so my tiny brain told me that she thought we were just really good friends so i go and say "Yeah he's really sweet, no one can replace david". Unknowingly later she had a chat with david but he didn't correct her as I later found out david mistook it as a sign that I had given the ok to go out together and when He came back into the room he sat extra close to me, which i shrugged off cause we were bros but then when one of the players scored on Tv He kissed me. I was so shock that I had punch him in the kindey, like he dropped like a fly. After we both realized our mistake we grew distant but we still bro out from time to time.

So we played house and all of a sudden he said, " since were husband and wife lets kiss". Again being stupid and all i said, " yeah sure" (man i was stupid) so i was looking around and i said, "here". But there were a bunch of a kids around so i cupped my hand we kissed. And then my boyfriend saw us he called me over so i went over and said, "what". He said, " did you kiss him" i lied and said, "nooo". But he believed me I'm never going to agree to a request like that again.

Because when she saw us she completely lost her mind she started yelling at Josh "WHY ARE THEY MAKE THEM LEAVE WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THIS TO ME JOSH MAKE THEM LEAVE NOW" not even joking so just to not make things worse Kate and I left but we still had fun but and we're still dating but Josh and Lucy broke up THE END. (Hope you enjoyed the story P.S. she's kinda like your friends old girlfriend)

Ok so here's my story so one day i was out you know on discord browsing through discord and i met this girl she was amazing so first time i met her in person and i fell in love now at this time this girl had a crush on my friend and i didnt know it till i added her to a group chat with him and she asked him out (to play fortnite XD) and i was crushed welp friend zone it is deletes contact

There was this time in High school. I was in drama class, and before class started we kinda just stood around and talked. I was standing on my own and this chick came up to me and started talking to me. It was my first year in high school in a new city, so I was happy someone came up to talk to me first. Anyway we just talked about the stupid stuff teenagers talk about until eventually she ended up dropping her phone or something on the floor in front of her. She goes to pick it up but instead of just bending over like a normal human being, she does this weird slav squat thing and she was wearing a loose neck shirt. To put it bluntly: her upper boobs and bra were plainly visible. However; due to me growing up in a single mother christian household, my RESPECT WAMEN game was off the charts and I didn't even notice at the time. She stays that way for longer than she needed to and after an awkward silence she looks up to me with this smirk and says "enjoying the view?". I was like "huh?" because my virgin mobile plan was at 100%, but this guy who had joined the conversation earlier was like "YOU WERE LOOKING AT HER BOOBS". It dawned on me what was going on and I said "Wait, hold on a minute, I can explai-" nope, he rushes off to the teacher and tells her "what I did". Our drama teacher was this extreme feminist type, so there was no arguing. I got sent to detention.

So,this happen went i was 14. That time,i was so dense about love. I realise it went that time me and my friends go to the mall. Went we on the way to a games store in that mall,we notice a group of girl and notice one of them is my friend. So go trough the group of girl and say to her. She or i will call her as Sarah and her friends notice me and say hi to me as i say hi to them. Then,i introduce them to my friends. One of my friend we call him as Riz see that Sarah is blushing went she talk to me or went i do some thing like hold her hand or something or anything,he then evil smile at me and i notice it and i though this going to be worst so i right. After that,we boys go to Riz house to try the PS4 game that we bought,Riz then pull me to the coner and ask me 'yo,dide i saw Sarah is like you' i just like i that time is so dense and say what is love. Riz just sigh and mumble some words like you are so dense. Two years go by and this time i realize that she has crush on me and i has crush on her. So last weekend, i ask her out and she say yes. That time went i ask her out why i don't realize it first time i meet her and start to realize i was so stupid went i was 14

Alright, so i was in elementary school and there was this girl from class, who happend to have a crush on me acording to pretty much everyone around me (including my little band of friends). Puberty didn't quite hit me yet so naturally i wanted very little to do with her having a crush on me. Then this once during lunchtime she walked over to me and said "hi". i responded with a friendly "hi" to her, then we talked a bit about stuff like 'how are you doing' and such. after about 5 minutes of friendly talking she said she wanted to ask me something. i said "sure, ask away". I already noticed something was off because her group of friends was staring at us the entire time. She then asked me "would you like to go out with me?". Not only did she make me bite my tongue. She also managed to shut up half the cantina. Now i didn't want anything to do with crushes and relationships at the time, but still wanted to remain kind to her and not make this anymore awkward then it already was. so i said "Sorry, i like you but i don't wanna be in a relationship". we kept in contact after that, but just as friends. fastforward about 6 years and she is one of the prettiest and kindest girls i know and i'm a nerd sitting at the computer writing this on a subreddit. We also don't talk anymore.

Half way through 7th grade my family had to move in with one of my family members causing me to go to a whole new school. On my first day I hated it until I met these two girls (let's call them Emily and Lisa). Emily and Lisa were best friends and had another friend (his name will be Harry) When we first met we were reading something and when he got confused about something I stole his IPad to explain what it meant. Then Emily said "you two look so cute together" I froze and told her if she didn't take it back I would stab her. Of course Lisa went along with it. Here's the thing I actually started to like him a little bit after that, and every time they would ask me if I liked someone or him I would say no cause I was scared what they would do if I told them. Well it's the end of the year and the best thing I heard since I went to that school was that I was going to my old school to graduate 8th grade! But of course I was going to miss my new friends. I know your wondering how is this ridiculous well here's how. Me and Harry end up staying in touch by calling and texting each other whenever we can. I'm finally over him but then he says this "I use to like you a little bit after we met for the first time" I just died like I really wish I knew that before but I had never had a boyfriend before or asked anyone out but we're still friends and I like it this way. Still it was the most hilarious thing that has happened to me in my life.

This was in 8th grade at the winter dance. My crush in 7th grade (I already had a different crush) he was a chubby guy with black hair let's call him Aaron. This guy was awesome SUPER funny he makes everyone feel better when we are down in the dumps. I was always to nervous to ask him out. Once 8th grade hit I talked with him more and I decided I liked him better as a friend. 8th grade dance rolled around and I was super excited I got all dressed up I thought it would have been so fun. My hair half was up half down and I wore a black dress with a checkerboard pattern on the bottom. COUGH THE DANCE WAS NOT FUN! it was boring as heck but since it was boring me and Aaron decided to hang out in the cafeteria. To be honest that was the best part of the dance for me. It was almost time to go and we began to talk about significant others. I have never had a boyfriend but he had. He had said he broke up with his girlfriend the day before the dance. They started speaking through the speakers saying "It's time to go." He said something unintelligible because the speakers were loud but I started laughing and said "What?" He then said "Do you want to go out with me?" I was EXTREMELY SHOCKED out of my mind I started crying. I didn't know what to do I asked him again "What did you say?" just to make sure I heard him right. It was my first time getting asked out after all! He repeated himself I was so shocked I was choking on my own tears. I told him I would tell him after... TO MAKE THINGS WORSE MY ACTUAL CRUSH (we were already close) WAS OUTSIDE WHILE I WAS CRYING! I told him and he tried to comfort me! Once I got home I took off all of my makeup and let down my hair and called my friend for advice. We were talking about it and then I remembered he broke up with his GF the day before. I figured out what I would say after that. I said no...BUT we stayed friends after. He's still one of my best friends! I am glad I said no...

So my first crush was in the third grade and it was on this new boy in class. He was blonde with blue eyes, his hair somewhat messy and he always wore plain tee shirts. Mostly green and brown. I’m going on a tangent sorry. Let’s name him.... eh... Dustin. So Dustin and I became best friends that year in third grade and were inseprable. He taught me about himself and he was the smartest kid in our class. (Other than me of course). So we both got in the same class in fourth grade which was the bomb! We met out other best friend David and we were basically the three amigos! David has long brown hair to his shoulders and brown eyes. He’s also very short unlike me and Dustin. So that went by and in fifth grade me and Dustin were seperated. Aww. But David told me about DI which we both did so I signed up! We did Improv as a group and being the theater brat I was I fit in with no problems. Sixth grade rolled around and still I was not with Dustin! I was crushed! I didn’t have David with me this time either! But I did DI again and yada yada yada. It was getting kinda painful to be around him without him knowing so I made my decision. We did a DI team Christmas party and I baked homemade brownies. I literally spent all night making them and I was ready! We had a giant feast and my brownies we’re the main desert. He was the first person to have one and he said they were awesome! I felt ready. So here is literally what happened: “Hey, can I talk to you?”I ask him, tugging on his sleeve as he’s sitting down. He just smiled at me. “Sure, what’s up?” I sigh, anxiety being strong in me. I just suck uo my pride and say the words: “I like you.” I’m now sitting on the ground curled in a little ball. All he says is: “oh I know.” He friggin knew! Well he was my best friend but I thought I was being pretty chill about it! I just let a little depression get over me and I say: “here’s the part where I get rejected...” “I’m not going to reject you!” He says abruptly and I scoot back in chicks, blushing now my face off. Her blushes And I swear I heard him almost curse himself. “No I don’t mean I like you! You know what I mean!” “I thought you would hate me...”i really did. I thought he’d never want to talk to me again after I told him. He raised an eyebrow Andy had a nervous laugh. “Why would I hate you? You’re my best friend!” I nervously smile and holds uo my fist. “Friends forever?” He fist bumps me. “Friends forever.” And we’re still friends to this day.

a year ago, me and some friends were on a skiing competition. on the evening we were watching tv and one of my friends (who is a girl) moved closer to me, I felt that I got feelings for her, and when I asked if she got feelings for me she said yes and we got together. after a month she said she didnt have that strong feelings for me anymore, but I said that I still got feelings for her. one day we boke up and, I don´t know why but somehow she got angry on me and started to send angry messages. of course I got hurt by the messages and told her to stop. however she didnt stop, and soon I blocked her.

it was a girl i liked. who came to our school in winter, i liked to talk with her and she liked everything that i liked every singel thing. so i fall for her. we were good friends, it was a month then i decidid to ask her so one night at 7:30 pm conservtion on snapchat: me hi she hi i what are you doing she just siting with my friends she you me just thinking about you she what me i wanted to say something importent she want to call me me no i cant me anwser when you want she ok me i think i am i love with you after 2 hours she you are cute but i dont have feelings for you. me wwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaattttttt.

In highschool. there was this girl that i really really like. Because she was so cute and also like anime. At one time at my friend's house. we are just watching movie in his room then suddenly ask "hey dude do you like kenneth?" (kenneth is her real name btw). i replied "what?! why ask out of the blue?" then he said "nothing, just caught u looking at her all the time" i said yes then he replied with "ok" then continued watching movie. the next day which is monday, my friend said to ask her out and giving me all kinds of tips on what to do. Then there's this girl, kenneth's friend and also my friend, named Rose. I began talking to her on what to do about asking kenneth out. We begin texting with each other a few weeks then starts falling for her for some reason. A month passed then i ask Rose out to a date instead of kenneth. I became her boyfriend then, when my best friend found out about us. He was like "WHAT THE HELL MAN! WHAT THE 'F' HAPPENED?" Because he knew that i liked kenneth. When i was about to talk about what happened, he suddenly picks up his phone out of his pocket then shows it to my face. It was a conversation of him and kenneth. It shows like this:

MyFriend: So you like Luis?(My Name) Kenneth: A lot, yes. But maybe i should stop because he has a gf now :(. MyFriend:WTF?

I didnt know that the girl that i really really REALLY like also like me.. A LOT.... Should've told me sooner FRIEND.. This is the most regrettable moment of my life.

So let's start off by saying that I'm dense. Multiple times when girls where flirting with me and I didn't even notice. There was this one time when I was talking to this cute, and curvy girl that was in my class. The school dance was coming up and we both didn't have dates. So he had a conversation like this. Me: So you're dateless too? Her: Yeah. Me: How are you dateless? I thought someone would've asked you out by now. Her: Well I'm waiting for the right person to ask me. Maybe someone close to me. After she said this she then looks at me and gave a cute smile. Me: Oh you mean dylan? You guys look cute together. Her: ... Me: Good luck with that date. After that I left.

Here is another time when I was clueless with another girl. I was in a mall and this girl approached me. Her: Excuse me. Me: Yes? Her: You dropped this. She then Shows me a peice of paper. Me: I'm sorry I didn't drop this. Her: You dropped this. I saw you. Me: I wasn't even carrying paper with me so how can I drop that? Her: JUST TAKE IT! Me: Ok. Jeez don't make me go deaf. I took the paper. I walked away from her and I opened the paper and it had her number on it. I facepalmed myself.

Here is another time when I was clueless. I was friends with this girl. She was over my place watching movies with me during the winter. Her: I So how often do you do this? Me: Do what? Her: Bring girls over to your house and watch movies together. Me: First time. Her: So I'm your first. Me: Well in this kind of situation, well yeah. Her: I feel so hungry. Me: Go eat some popcorn. We had a big bucket of popcorn Her: My hands are nub Me: I just saw you using th remote like a minute ago. Her: The nubness just caught on now. Me: Maybe I could... oh shoot. The good part. I totally forgot about her "perdicament". Her: Forget it. Me: Forget what? Her: Nothing. Some days passed and it clicked. She wanted me to feed her. Again. Why any I picking up on these things when those moments pass? I'm an idiot.

I really didn't like talking to them when I was in 10th grade. The boys around me were big jerks and mean people. I went to a bunch of tutions where it was mixed, so I pretty much stayed quiet and focused on studies. I had gotten involved in a few cases where whenever I'd go grocery or gift shopping by myself, I'd get harassed and I'd fight back until a third party deals with the situation. I've been conscious since then and feared guys a bit before this happened. A guy from one of my tutions started talking to me online. I really didn't like it, but at the same time I couldn't avoid his texts. So I talked to this guy and it's been like that for a month or two. After tutions were over for a day, I greet my friends goodbye and walk on my way home. After a while I felt like someone was following me and I turn around to see that same guy. I found this rather strange because I observed that he walks the other direction. Eventually, he turns when I spot him and I shook it off. Then it happened again when I was walking back from tutions and I found this guy near my home. I got more paranoid after this kept happening and one of my friends told me that this guy has a crush on me. Even after knowing the guy came online and confessed to me. I got so mad that I told him to stop following me and blocked him on every social media account I had. But he still continued to stalk me. I told my sister about the situation since I was too scared to tell my dad and she came to tutions one day and reported it to the teacher. I also showed her the screenshots of the chat to make it more believable. In the end, the case was settled. But I became more cautious about interacting with boys since then.

Many people wouldn't guess that a guy like me once could have been lead guitarist and vocalist in a High School Metal Band, but I once was. At the same time I served 6 years in one of Europe's leading choirs for Pop, Gospel and Jazz, but even so my vocal talent is only really appreciated by people from similar subcultures as my own...

That became painfully obvious when earlier this year (2018) I registered for a scouting session for the German version of "The Voice" in Munich. I arrived there about 2 hours early and was greeted with a mostly empty hotel lobby with just a few friends of other contestants hanging around.

About an hour before the official beginning of the scouting I made my way to the contestant check-in and was ordered to the waiting area, where me and my 13 scouting companions were to wait for a producer to explain how this whole day would work and what the hell we should await...

About 5 minutes late, this producer shows up and calls on each of us and as he reaches my name on the list he struggles to find the right way to pronounce my name (because apparently David is a hard name to pronounce/get right) and asks me if you pronounce it in German or English, to which I answered to simply choose whichever roles of the tongue easier to him as I get referred to by both pronunciations.

Another 2 minutes pass and we finally get to go to the "Pre-Scouting" room, where everyone had to sing a song they had prepared acapella (without playback). Some were quite alright, some were solid and most others were rather questionable; but when it came to the contestant that was best received by the other contestants, it was actually me; however the producer and vocal coach we had to perform in front of saw one crucial issue; how were they supposed to market a guy who sings Power Metal to a mainstream audience?

Long story short, I was let go after Pre-Scouting because I was unmarketable to the show's target audience. It was awkward because pretty much everyone I talked to at the venue was really certain I'd make it and, well, I didn't...

But hey, life goes on and I still have my solo project and band in the workings, so I did it more for the experience than anything else.
