Songs of Attraction

---

Only you know how far the flirting has gone. You are attracted to someone whom you know is taken, but keep in mind that he is the one with the relationship commitment with the girlfriend. Has his flirting with you crossed a line between fun and emotionally betraying his girlfriend? If so, is this guy someone you would want to date? How would you feel if you were his in his girlfriend's shoes?

At some point, you're going to get tired of this flirting that is just empty teasing and toying.

You may even want to tell him you're tired of just flirting with him and that if he were ever single, you'd date him, but right now he's acting like a player. I have this tiny crush on a guy at my school, and he stares at me a lot. Whenever I walk by, his friends start to point at me to him, and he turns to look at me and smiles. The problem, however, is that he hugs girls while looking at me, smirking.

It hurts me a lot, so I decided to walk up and hug with my male classmate. I then see that he is looking at me angrily and leaves. Do I make a move or wait a bit longer? So I have a crush on a guy in one of my classes, but I don't know what to do because I keep getting mixed messages from him. I'm worried that if I say anything it will make class awkward. What should I do? How do you apologize to your crush when you confessed to him, and you feel like you embarrassed him?

Chances are you came on too strong, confessing way too much too soon, or he just doesn't feel the same. For an apology, less is more. For example, "Bill, I didn't mean to make you feel embarrassed or create an awkward situation. I realize I said too much, and I'm sorry I put you on the spot.

Will you forgive me? Once you've had the conversation, stop bringing it up and stop your the behavior that embarrassed him. I met a guy in my new school, and he's the guy I've always dreamed of. However, I'm afraid to tell him that I like him.

Crushes: You're More Obvious Than You Believe

He's currently my best friend and says his "partner" in everything. I think he won't like me because I'm also male. Can you give me some ways how I can open up to him without ruining our sweet friendship? Your new best friend may be using the term "partner" because he already has one, so I recommend slowing it down just a bit and finding out more about him before sharing your feelings of sexual attraction.

Why not ask if he wants to hang out on a weekend or one evening? That'll give you a more relaxed environment to find out more about him, including his love life -- who he's dating if anyone , how serious the relationship is, how long he's been out, etc. Naturally, you, in turn, can share similar information -- your dating history, what type of guy you find attractive, how long you've been out, etc. Because of his frequent reference to the word "partner" I would make it more of a bonding experience in which you compare experiences and get to know one another.

Even if he's madly in love with this other guy, maybe it's not all bad. With you being new to the school, perhaps they can introduce you to other gay young men who are potential love interests. Your friend was probably trying to move things forward. Since you don't know how he feels about you, a couple of your options now are:. How do you deal with your crush not liking you back? I have a crush on my co-worker. I told my friend, and she talked to him. Now, I'm so ashamed that I do not know how to behave with him.

He probably knows how I feel, and he likes another girl. My friends say he just can't see how cool I am. Just because you're a tomboy does NOT mean you're doomed to loneliness. Just because you're a tomboy does NOT mean no guy will find you attractive. So you had a crush on a guy who preferred girly girls. If you had known that about him up front, you might not have wasted your time thinking so much about him. Don't draw large conclusions about yourself based on just one or a few examples -- especially negative conclusions. There are plenty of dateable guys out there, and you'll find those who are interested.

Concentrate on making yourself the happiest, healthiest person you can be, and stop beating yourself up. My daughter is in her late teens and has always been a tomboy -- avid tree climber, soccer player, cross country runner, kayaker, hiker, and she attended a four-year engineering program in high school that immersed her in robotics and building things with power tools. She's never worn much makeup and prefers casual clothes.

Think about how much more you have to talk about with guys when you focus on things you love that they happen to be interested in as well. Just don't let this kill your confidence. Self-confidence attracts, so work on becoming the happiest, most interesting person possible and accepting yourself the way you are. Do that, and you'll shine from the inside, no makeup required. I met this guy at a party through a mutual friend, and throughout the whole night, we kept calling each other cute.

We all went back to his apartment after the party and we just fell asleep together, like cuddled together and that's it. The next morning we started talking about everything and we kept cuddling. Then we kissed multiple times until I said I had to leave, but I don't know if he thinks this was a one-time thing or if he likes me?

What if the person I have a crush on shows all of the signs that he has a crush on me, but he always denies liking someone when others ask him? Since he seems to be playing shy, why don't you go a little bolder with the following approach? Tell him that's hard to believe because there are a lot of girls in this world and he's a great guy, and if -- just IF he were going to crush on someone what qualities would she have? After he's done, say that you have those qualities name them and you thought we had good chemistry.

I was hoping you liked me. I just had to ask. Thanks for clearing it up! That should make him come clean in a big way if he's going to ever confess. That's the challenge of sending and receiving unsigned love notes. The receiver has to guess who the sender is; however, their guess may be very wrong! There's also no way to respond if you don't know who sent it. The best course of action is to either wait until the next letter or jumpstart the process by trying to determine who sent the note so that the person will reveal himself or herself more quickly. Talk to friends, sharing that you received a note and you are trying to discover who sent it.

See if they know who might have a crush on you. Out of privacy and respect for the sender, don't let others read it. Sooner or later, the sender will step forward. You're going to have to be patient on this one. Have fun with it! I want to tell my crush that I like him, but I'm scared he won't like me like he used to. We previously dated, but broke up and both tried to date other people. He flirts with me all the time, and gives me his jacket. He's literally my best friend in the world. It sounds like your crush has an equal and opposite crush on you. The young man is giving you his jacket to wear.

They don't do that unless they care. He's flirting, and you say he's your best friend, so wait for a quiet time alone with him and tell him you have a confession to make. You can say, "I miss you" or "I'm not over you" or "I still have feelings for you" or "I wish we never broke up. Sometimes in life, you need to go for it, and this is one of them. All signs are there. And don't do this via text or FaceTime! It MUST be done in person! I have a hard time talking to my crush whether it's in person or over text.

What do you think I should do? There's this guy that I've talked to some but not a lot, and I am really into him. I would like to tell him, but I think it doesn't feel right.

1. "Treat You Better" by Shawn Mendes

How can you be in love with someone you don't know that well? Unfortunately, I know that he doesn't share the same feelings and doesn't know what to do. You don't know enough about him to truly love him, however, you're crushing pretty hard on someone you realize doesn't share your feelings. Hey, we've all been there, so don't feel bad. Rather than confess to him your deep feelings, listen to that inner voice that is saying "hold on here!

Work on controlling what you can by making YOU the happiest, best version of yourself. This may or may not prompt him to notice and that is okay if he doesn't! If you want to also work on trying to become just friends with him, then that's fine. However, I wouldn't make it my focus. You already know he doesn't return your feelings. She is very cute, but I'm not sure if I should tell her that I like her. We talk to each other every day at work. You should respect that and turn your attention elsewhere.

Work on being a happy, healthy and positive person. You may be surprised to find how good things will come your way when you work on you. You cannot force him to love you. You may not have noticed him because you were way too wrapped up in your crush. Give someone other than your crush a chance to discover and appreciate you. How do I write a song for my crush? I can't see him every day because he's too busy with his studies.

However, the good thing is sometimes we talk through social media. We haven't met yet in person, and the problem is that I can't share my feelings with him directly. Therefore, I want to write a song. Your crush probably got this wrong information through a prior miscommunication with you, so it's important that he understands the truth. You should correct his misinformation ASAP if it's important to you. Going through another person would make your crush question what is true, so set the record straight personally and see how he responds.

Here are two options. Next time he mentions your attraction to his brother, ask him why he believes you like his brother because it's him the crush you like. Don't skip a beat when you say it -- do it in all one sentence. That approach is to-the-point, surprising, and prompts a response from him. Another option is to say that you'd like to clear up a simple misunderstanding and ask whether he has a minute to hear you out. When he says "sure," ask whether he remembers the original conversation you had where he came to the conclusion that you liked his brother describe it.

Then lay out the truth that you never liked his brother; you like him instead. Either way, be ready for questions. The conversation is best had in person, but if you must, you can FaceTime or even text. Texting is certainly the safe way, but it loses its appeal in being able to gauge his reactions. Since you prefer not to confess your attraction, use flirting as a fun first step to assess whether the interest between you and your crush is mutual.

Take flirting slow and watch how your crush responds. Know, however, that if the flirting progresses and you seek to take it to the next level, eventually you will need to acknowledge having some feelings for your crush. Here are a couple of tips. Amp up your physical appearance and what you wear. This will improve your confidence around your crush and get their attention.

The color red attracts special notice when worn by either men or women. Smile and make steady eye contact. Offer your crush sincere compliments. As you talk with your crush, try to subtly move a little closer, more into their personal space -- if you sense that they are comfortable. Use appropriate levels of touch if you sense that it is welcome. For example, when sitting next to them, graze their arm or leg with yours in a non-obvious manner. Pretend to pick a hair or lint off their shoulder or touch their hand lightly. When you flirt, pay attention to whether your crush seems disinterested, confused, or pulls away or if instead, they return your flirtations with flirty gestures of their own.

The more they flirt back, the more you can turn up your charm. If you want to know more, my article "How to Get Noticed: The Sexy Science of Flirting" https: I have a crush on someone at my school, but we never talk to each other. I'm trying to befriend him, but he doesn't know who I am. I am on vacation in China, and I've met a girl that is so kind and sweet. Over the past few days, her friends have been saying that she likes me, but I don't know whether it is the truth. She has written me two poems about how she likes me and has sung me a song.

Should I tell her my feelings too before I leave? She has put her feelings out there in a clear way with both the poetry and song, realizing that the trip has a clear end. If you feel the same, time is short so what's stopping you? To hold your feelings in means rejection for her. Your challenge is to get her to see you as someone who is date-worthy.

You didn't include enough information about why she may think you're joking. Does she think one of you is out of the other's league? Are you friends who joke around frequently? Try to talk with her more about what she likes, her feelings, opinions, ideas, what she wants in life, and share the same information about yourself. Hang out together so you can develop some common experiences and see if there's a mutual spark there.

Find out what she's looking for in a boyfriend. After a while of getting to know one another better, check back with her to see if she's interested in going out. He knows that I like him, but I want to know how he feels about me. I like my crush a lot, and he knows I do. But I suspect that one of his friends like me, and my crush has seen us together, laughing. I even asked for the friend's number from him! Now my crush is kind of quiet. What does that mean? My best friend and I have a crush on the same guy. We both know that the other likes him.

I feel jealous every time he talks to her.

They talk a lot online. I'm not sure if he really has forgotten his ex. I don't want to be in a love relationship someone who is not yet done loving someone else. Before you embark on a new love relationship, it's important to be free of past emotional baggage so you don't doom the new relationship to failure. That requires an open and honest conversation. There must be reasons you have questions about your love interest's ability to move on from his ex.

For example, does he reminisce about his ex too much? Does he still communicate with her in person, via phone, social media, etc.? Does he still display photos and memorabilia from their relationship? Find a quiet time and place when you're not in conflict and tell him you need to talk to him about something important, and you need him to be candid. Describe the signs you see why you fear he hasn't moved on. Inquire why they broke up, how long they were together, and who broke up with whom.

Ask him if he's over her and ready for a new relationship and explain why this is important to you. It's normal to sometimes take awhile to get over a relationship before you begin a new one, especially if someone has cheated on you or betrayed your trust in some way. One day he even asked me if I was going to miss him, and I said, "Yeah, I might," and he said "Me too. You have a right to be confused because he's sending mixed signals, but I'd bet he's a bit confused as well. After all, you did say you "might" miss him.

The next time he flirts with you ask a question back to him as your answer. For example, if he says, "Are you going to miss me? If you're not comfortable doing that, when he chats you up next time and you have to cut the conversation short, say that you hate to go but you'd love to talk more with him, maybe over lunch sometime.

The 50 Sexiest Songs of All Time

That's dropping a big hint. If he doesn't get it, do it again or ask him to lunch. Also, you can always ask what his relationship is with the coworker. Don't let this guy give you mixed signals if you like him. Call him on it but also be honest about how you feel. My crush and I have previously been like siblings or best friends. We've both confessed our feelings for one another.

How do I tell them I'm ready to take things to the next level without really telling them? The hard part, confessing your feelings for one another, is over, and the good thing is it's mutual. Now there's some awkwardness about what's next. I don't know why you wouldn't want to discuss it.

Yes, it's awkward, but it's much less stressful in the long run to just get things out in the open. You could ask about going to see a movie or doing something else together, and when they agree, inquire playfully whether this is a friend date or a real date? Or, you could start holding their hand and making other lovey moves that a girlfriend or boyfriend would make. Start treating them like a boyfriend or girlfriend and see if it is reciprocated.

For example, send them small gifts or flirty texts, spend more time alone, or make a playlist for them or a card. Unless they've had a change of heart, this will get things rolling. They started talking first, before I realized I had feelings for him, plus they started talking back when she and I were friends. I have a crush on my friend. She's single and a definite bisexual. We've been flirting with each other for fun and all of a sudden I'm in love.

I really don't want to take the chance and confess because I don't want to ruin our friendship. Plus, if I confessed and she doesn't like me back, it'll be awkward for the squad. On the other hand, I really like her and I want her to be mine. Since you've already been flirting with one another and you know she is both bisexual and available, then you can gauge her interest in you by asking her out on "friend dates. Do this a couple times and you'll likely have the opportunity to hold hands and get physically closer.

That will tell you if she's receptive to you as a romantic partner. Don't shy away from opportunities because they are awkward. If she's flirting with you, she may be feeling exactly the same things you are. But even if you get rejected, it's not the end of the world. Life does go on. You don't want to be wondering "what if" 10 or 20 years down the road, do you? There is a guy I like at my church. Can you please help me? A church or other established group is a great place to meet a like-minded person.

You both likely share similar values and are there for the same purpose. So that's a great first step. It's okay to be introverted, but don't let it hold you back from going after your goals in life, okay? First, work on making eye contact with him and smiling. Initially, it may be from a distance, but try to maintain your gaze and not look down or away. Think "confidence" and "positivity" rather than shame or embarrassment. Silently to yourself, you should be telling yourself how fabulous God made you.

Fill your mind with affirmations to calm your anxiety! Secondly, do you have a church friend who is more outgoing than you -- someone you can trust with your feelings? If so, confide in them about your crush so that your friend can support you in getting up the nerve to sit near your crush and talk with him.

Your friend can serve as your sidekick and help facilitate conversation, fill in awkward gaps, and even introduce the two of you. You may even want to set goals for yourself as motivation. As for the nervousness, just remember to breathe deeply rather than shallowly. In talking to your crush, remember that questions are always reliable as people love to talk about themselves.

You might also compliment him on something if it's genuine. Third, churches typically have various subgroups e. He's probably a member of one or more of these smaller groups. This is your chance to get to know him better by becoming a member of that same subgroup. Work on letting a friendship blossom first rather than romance. I have a crush on my classmate. I'm unable to forget him. I love him but cannot express my feelings to him verbally.

I don't know how to communicate what he means to me. How can I reach out to my crush? I don't know if I should tell my crush because he used to like a tomboy type girl and I'm girly. Relationships are all about chemistry, and physical appearance is only one ingredient. Don't overthink that just because he liked one type of girl in the past that that's the only type of girl he'd be attracted to.

I like a guy who makes me laugh out loud. Sometimes I cry with laughter. We have long conversations even with his friends around. Does he like me? Do I pursue my feelings or just walk away? When you initially agreed to this relationship, you probably didn't expect to develop an emotional attachment to the person you were sleeping with. You simply wanted to use one another for convenient, no-strings-attached sex. Sex, however, is an intimate act that always has some strings attached.

While it's not impossible for a friends with benefits relationship to transition into a love relationship, communication regarding changing expectations and feelings is essential. You've become emotionally attached, and it seems like he has become either bored or wary of your attachment. It's clear that you've exchanged benefits -- the car for sex -- but are you sure there's any friendship left?

From what you describe, there's little emotionality between the two of you. You deserve someone who will cherish and respect you. Put a halt to the sexual part of the relationship and see if he's still interested in the friendship. That'll tell you everything you need to know. Better verbal communication is needed to supplement the physical communication that's been going on. I started talking to this guy because he would flirt with me frequently, and ask me questions about myself trying to get know me. One day I added him on Facebook, and the next day he added me on Snapchat, then messaged me.

We had been talking for days, but it turns out he had a girlfriend! I kinda like him, but I know that I shouldn't since he's not available. I assume there was flirtation involved in your talking for several days. During that several days he had a moral obligation to mention that he had a girlfriend. Instead he behaved like a player. What he did was cheat on his girlfriend, and he made you his unwitting accomplice to it.

That was not your fault. You deserve the full love and attention of a guy rather than sloppy seconds. People teach others how they want to be treated. Also, always be sure to check relationship status on Facebook and other social media platforms. You might have already done that. Good luck to you. How can I tell if a guy is into me? He keeps reminding me of the day when we went to the beach with a group of friends.

We both still laugh about it. You ask a good question. I recall when my daughter was beginning high school, running on the cross country team. A cute guy would slow down while running so he could talk to her, and she didn't know why he was doing that so she would run faster to get away from him. I had to explain to her that he was trying to flirt. Now we laugh about it, but she was puzzled at the time.

Your guy is probably interested but may not know where to take it next. Here are some signs that a guy is interested in you:. I'd suggest additional group outings with friends. Watch the signs above and maybe have a female friend look for the signs, too. That should tell you what you need to know!

There's a girl in my school that I love but we've only talked a couple of times. I see her stare at me all the time, and when I look at her she looks away. Her group of friends and her look at me smiling. We have a lot of similar interests. She's single, but I'm too shy. I like this guy and he likes me. However, when he's around his friends he says he doesn't like me and he avoids conversation. Today, I was crying and he asked me what was wrong.

I am confused and don't know if he likes me or not. I like a guy at school.

My friends know I like him and he has a girlfriend. I want to tell him that I like him, but I'm too shy. My crush knows I like someone else and I know who he likes. One day I had feelings for him and I asked my friend to ask him what he thinks about me. Now he stares and smiles at me. Sign in or sign up and post using a HubPages Network account. Comments are not for promoting your articles or other sites. He sounds like a guy with a real sense of humor on top of everything else you find good about him. It's certainly not too early to 'fess up about how you feel about him.

Why wait until after Christmas Break? The holidays have a way of softening people's emotional defenses so they share what's on their minds. After the start of the new year, people tend to shift their priorities from interpersonal relationships to personal success, so don't wait. Perhaps consider sending him a funny e-card such as the ones on JibJab with a personalized message that shares your feelings. Maybe use the words that the card is funny but one thing that is "no joke" is the way you feel about him then describe.

That should start the conversation at least. Your goals should be to get the information out there in the open between you, to see what he's feeling towards you, and to build an ongoing conversation while you're apart. Sometimes people who are shy or reluctant can be more open about their feelings when it's not face-to-face, and the fact that you are physically separated works to your advantage here. Don't be afraid to take a chance. If he doesn't share the same feelings, it's okay. You will have time to readjust without experiencing too much awkwardness regarding your friendship.

The next big chance is leading up to Valentine's Day but don't wait! You've liked him for awhile. So a couple weeks ago, I was getting out of my car to walk into work. I had to cross the street and after walking on the sidewalk for a bit I hear someone shout while running at me, "Have you heard of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?!

He really got me good, we both just had a good laugh about it after I got over being shocked and chatted a little bit before I went into work. But anyways, besides that incident, we had not really seen each other much or gotten to talk due to the semester ending and finals, but since we both finished our finals yesterday, we did meet for dinner this evening and he introduced me to two of his closest friends one of them I knew of because we have the same major, but I didn't actually know-know him.

They both seemed really nice and cool and we all had a good time talking. I was thinking while I'm home for Christmas break I might try to get him a small gift I was thinking possibly something souvenir-like from my hometown , it was my friend's idea. Yeah I still don't actually know if he likes me back, like my gut tells me that there could be a chance, I just don't want to jump to conclusions yet I was thinking that maybe its coming close to the time of just telling him, not directly after the next semester starts but maybe a few weeks in.

Do you think it would be too soon? By the way, I seriously appreciate your advice and input. I remember when I first posted on this page about my old crush, not completely knowing if you'd reply or not, so yeah I totally appreciate you. It's the honorable thing to do to follow your parents' wishes at this point in your lives especially if they feel very strongly.

They probably understand your maturity levels and emotions development best. As an alternative to dating at this point, perhaps consider requesting permission for one or more of the following if your parents are open:. When my daughter was a ninth grader, the parents of one of the guys she went out with consistently sent the guy's little brother along everywhere they went.

The kid brother was supposed to be the parents' "spy" but for him, it beat not being able to go. There are creative solutions for your dilemma if you work constructively with your parents. In the meantime, continue to be open and honest with your crush about how you feel about him. Whether you express how much you value him and your special relationship via playlists, art, poetry, or conversations, this is a special time in your life. Don't be in too big of a hurry to grow up. It goes by fast! Best of luck to you! We met four years ago during math trainings and started talking more.

He started hanging out with me and my best friends about two years ago and quickly became one of my closest friends. We have shared so many moments together. We have so many things in common as well. He has a beautiful soul, and will protect his friends any time. He has beautiful chocolate eyes and soft auburn hair. He liked a couple of girls before, and now he likes me. The thing is, we both know we like each other. Hope you can give me some advice for that. Crushing - Attraction is not all about looks. It's about trust, personality, shared connections, humor, listening, and so much more.

I think you understand that. He obviously likes you as much as you like him. Maybe you both should take a chance on one another? It's great when you can find someone you can trust these days. Trust your heart and how someone treats you and makes you feel rather than your eyes. My crush is rlly funny. He always finds time to talk to me and we're really good friends. He knows about things that happen to me that no one else does, and I trust him and i think he trusts me just as much. I'm not even rlly sure why i like him because hes not the cutest person i can find, but theres just something Eva - Thanks for the recommendation.

It's a very sweet song. I put it on the playlist. I hadn't heard that one before. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Taylor - During class changes, you can at least make eye contact, smile, and try to say hi or a few words as much as class changes will permit. Or you could always go old school and write him a note, passing it to him during class change with a smile. Eudora Yao - Aww, this certainly sounds like good news. Thank you for the update! Wishing you all the best in your sweet romance with Mr. I have a crush on this one guy that used to like me. We only see each other during class switches and when there is a lot of people around.

Nithya - I appreciate your stopping by. Hope you are doing well. Have a great weekend. A great list of songs, have heard some of them. Hats off to you for putting together this list. James - I'm sure you're a better man for staying in that lit class, no matter the motivation! This hub made me think of a crush like experience from some years back. I say crush like because it wasn't a crush as your hub describes.

However, I was smitten more like a lust at first sight. During my first week at the University of Iowa, classes began on Wednesday. Having studied my schedule, I noticed that if I dropped my literature class, I would still have a full load thus insuring continued eligibility for my guaranteed student loan and leave my Fridays class free. So, the plan on Friday was to attend class and promptly get the teacher's signature and say adios to lit class.

I go to the English Philosiphy Building and head towards the classroom. But upon reaching the classroom, I saw the teacher and stopped in my tracks. Upon seeing her the teacher I immediately changed my mind. I was struck by the vision before my eyes. I stayed in her class and I believe my grade was a "B" for that course. Eudora Yao - Hooray! You're the young woman who ran into romantic Mr. Snuggles who kept saying you were cute, right!? Sounds like a really good start. So glad this is progressing nicely.

He sounds like a decent young man, and I hope that there is something genuine there between you. I wish you luck! A big high five from me to you from across the Internet! Feel free to come back and update us later! He asked me to dinner: Astrid - Your comment was inadvertently marked as spam so I am just seeing it tonight, but congratulations! This relationship you have with this guy seems like a mutual interest! I think you're making great progress. Even if this doesn't work out, look at it as terrific practice for the future. I'm so proud of you!

Just an update, I feel like things are continuing to get easier for me and I'm starting to raise my propinquity with my crush! We've been messaging most of the days this week and it is not always me initiating conversation: D and we've actually hung out twice as well! Today we went to a raid its an in-game event I guess you could call it ; he messaged me late morning asking if I knew if there were any raids going on and there happened to be one that people were gathering for within half an hour of after I received his message.

I told him about it and asked if he wanted to go and he said yes and asked me if he could ride with me again. And so we went to it and we got to talk quite a lot again. I actually got to talk about some stuff about me like he asked me about what I want to do after graduation, he told me about how his mom wants him to do a masters but he doesn't really want to. It was so cute, when he saw a nice car I really know nothing about cars so I don't remember what it was , he started talking about it; I was listening intently and then at some point he stopped himself and was like "I'm sorry if this is boring you, I just really like cars" and I smiled and said something like "No, its okay, I think its really cool that you are into cars.

Also, he said that a conversation he had with a friend the other day reminded him of something I had said when we hung out on Sunday. Lastly, I had my music playing on shuffle and the theme song of one of my favorite animes came on and he showed curiosity about it he doesn't know much about anime so I ended up telling him about it and he seemed to take interest in the plot I'm thinking possibly later on I can invite him to watch it with me if things continue to go well like this. I still want to do the coffee thing too, I just have not found the right time yet to ask yet.

I've honestly never felt this comfortable talking to a guy who I am romantically interested in before and its a great feeling. Astrid - He's definitely interested based on what you're telling me. He flirted with you, paid for your Taco Bell meal, shared information about his family and hometown, and showed vulnerability regarding his Southern accent.

Being a Southerner myself who has lived and traveled extensively around the country, the accent can be an issue, as non-Southerners often assume you're not smart based on a Southern drawl and may make fun of it right to your face. Emphasize, for example, that you like it because it's him--flirt back! As far as next steps, if you don't want to wait for the next group hangout, why not text or contact him through social media and get more frequent conversation going? Be sure to share reciprocal information about yourself, your hometown, your interests, and ask questions as the conversation flows.

That might lend to you hanging onto his arm during the the haunted house whether you actually "need" to or not. I'm so pleased your life is progressing like this and wish you the best with this apparently charming young man. My experience is that Southern men can be but aren't always much more mannered, so be observant if he goes to open doors for you or pull out your chair.

And in case he's a country music fan, definitely be ready for that. Know that it's very offputting for someone to hate country music if you've grown up with it and especially if they don't really know what modern country music is like these days. Some of it could pass for rock or alternative rock. So I actually worked up the courage to message my crush and asked him if he wanted to join me and a group of some other Pokemon Go players I know. We went out today and I think things went really well. I didn't get too nervous, and I was able to talk to him comfortably; I mean I think it helped that we were hanging out in a group but it's definitely a start.

And I did have some 1 on 1 time with him because we went in the same car I drove in the morning, but when we did head back to the university to get some stuff and we went in his car when we met back up with the group later. We did talk quite a lot and I did learn a lot about him. He was telling me a lot about his family and his hometown and some various other things about him and he also asked me some things about me. Based on what I observed we sort of have similar personalities like quiet, laid back etc.

And well this one small instance I mean it could be nothing but I feel like he might have been flirting a little, but I'm not sure , well there was a point where we all stopped at this one place to sit down for a bit and everyone was sort of having their own conversations amongst the group and we were sitting next to each other and well I was looking down at my phone and then he randomly started tapping on my screen and playfully said something like "oh is that a touch screen? And when we were walking back I casually asked if he wanted to get food on the way back and we picked up some taco bell.

I did pull out my wallet intending to pay for myself, but when we got there he asked me what I wanted and said that he would pay for it. Also at the drive through there was kind of a long wait and we were talking some more and he asked me if he sounded too southern he is from the south when he talks and I told him no, just sometimes like when he said thank you to the lady at the drive through, it sounded like "thank ya" and then he was telling me about some words that most of the time come out southern, like the word "peaches".

I said it, then he said it again and I laughed a little bit and then he got a little defensive asking if he was saying it wrong and then I was like no I can just hear a bit of the twang when you say it and we both laughed. So yeah that all happened. Everything about our conversations just felt so natural and not awkward or forced. He also said to let him know when we'd be meeting up again and he thanked me for inviting him.

What do you think? I realize it is early on, but do you think there may be something there like there's a chance I may be getting somewhere with this? Any tips on what to try to do next in addition to inviting him to our next hangout? Shannon - Thank you for those two great additions! I get some sweet comments and questions on this one.

Reminds me of when I was a teen. Well, you know me and country music often go hand in hand. Usually, the first songs that come to my mind for your playlists are country. So here's an old school song from the 90s. Remember Lila McCann's "Crush" song? I didn't see it on your list. It's the first one I thought of this time. Oh, and "As If" by Sara Evans may fit your list. I think it does, anyway. This is a fun list, by the way. Jenna - It seems like you do have a lot in common, including this young woman. IF you're going to caution him about this young woman, I would be candid instead of tossing little hints.

Some people don't get hints at all. Perhaps give him some level of choice in the matter by asking him a question along the lines of, "Can I speak openly and honestly about my reaction to you liking Jane? His judgment about this girl will tell you whether he's worthy of continuing to admire. Acul - Since you know she likes someone else, just ignore the awkwardness and be her friend, just as you are friends with others.

Smile, use compliments, make her laugh, ask her questions so that she talks to you about herself. The more familiar one gets with another person, the more that awkwardness tends to go away. Even if you never end up to be more than just friends, we can never have too many friends, right? Great social skills is a lifelong benefit, so practice making people feel comfortable in awkward situations.

I like a girl in my class but she likes someone else so I started to get her phone number and now I think she feels a little bit awkward around me now. If you don't, your behavior could be perceived as stalker-like and that would prevent you from future relationships that might be reciprocal. We've all been rejected, and it hurts. Just work on loving yourself. Some day the right relationship will come along. Cj - What kind of person has to think that much about a date?

As my teen daughter says, "It's not that deep! You didn't ask him to marry you.

You either caught him off guard and he didn't know how to turn you down, he's got a very packed social calendar or he's already dating someone he likes but they're not quite committed yet and he doesn't want to mess it up. Or, Cj, if you are also male and he is not out, he may legitimately have something to think about.

I could understand that better, but hopefully, he'll be candid with you. As far as your request for songs related to this situation, here are a few listed below:. Gabriel - If she recently broke up with someone, there may be trust issues as well as an adjustment mourning period. She did you BOTH a favor by being candid, so don't assume that she's testing your patience or playing games. It would've been worse to have started dating and then found out she had unresolved feelings for her ex, right? Let her work it out on her own, then start dating when she's ready.

In the meantime, work on being her friend. Develop a history together even if it's not dating yet. Learn more about each other, hang out with her both alone and in groups but no hand holding, etc. Our picks span a variety of eras, genres and styles—and while some are more overtly sexual than others, they all make us weak in the knees. This song works for meaningful romps only—so that heartstrings and limbs weave into an enchanting macrame, a sturdy rope that lassoes souls tightly together. Tom drums tumble to climax just shy of the three-minute mark—but for only a second, before cooling.

It steams until it simmers, warm to the finish. He was also about spreading the love, both literally—he had at least 10 children with a number of a different women—and through his songs. But the moment of ignition comes later: Talk about shaky knees. Her sparse arrangement—just a bass line and some jazzy snaps—really allows her voice to shine and those lyrics to burn up.

Its mild suggestiveness was still a little too racy when it was released, though, and the subject matter became an issue when the Stones were slated to appear on The Ed Sullivan Show. Simple chords, simple lyrics—sometimes getting straight to the point is the sexiest thing a song can do. He sounds appreciative of both the sight of a beautiful woman and the power she wields by virtue of sheer style, but the way Buckley sings it, everybody here wants him.
