So if he says no, I'll still have to see him and it'll be awkward. But maybe (and hopefully) I'll get the courage to say something before it's too late.

It's easier to do it online when I'm talking to some guy I met on a dating site; that is, it's much easier to invite someone out for coffee through e-mail than to say it in person. He's not moving away just yet, which means I'd still have to see him regularly if he were to turn me down.Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-87172287643107744112013-12-06T09:20:50.709-06:002013-12-06T09:20:50.709-06:00I think everyone has had an unrequited crush at so...I think everyone has had an unrequited crush at some point. (Even Natalie Portman.) ;) It's so hard to know if it's unrequited, though! It is really hard to ask someone out, for men and women. Maybe ask him out? I mean, if he's moving anyway then it won't be awkward for long, right? :) Rachel Schieffelbeinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01629400142880123520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-2201604597402565752013-12-03T14:40:13.227-06:002013-12-03T14:40:13.227-06:00Hi Emily,

There was a part of me that thought I had become numb to any kind of romantic feelings; it's nice to know I was wrong. <br /> You're right that crushes are often based more on fantasy; that's how it's usually been for me.

But I've found they're usually based more on fantasy than anything else. I can't wait form my next crush, even if it's unrequited, simply because a love-interest will help eradicate all thoughts of my asshole ex from my mind! That's what I'm saying now anyway. Hope your crush doesn't leave you crushed! Even though it sucks, there's still something nice about finding someone who can make you feel that way, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-34908590382964429002013-12-03T11:48:36.377-06:002013-12-03T11:48:36.377-06:00yow, that's AWFUL.
