I’m pretty sure my crush has a crush on someone else and idk what to do. (She’s 32 and my crush is 20.) Do I leave it alone and never say anything? Do I tell him in hopes I’m wrong and this gives me a chance? Over message? In person? Idk what to do

As someone who literally went through this a year ago I told him and it was too late (he ended up not having a crush on the person I thought he did AT ALL, and by the time I got the nerve to tell him how I felt he already was about to date a completely different person) long story short you never truly know and now I regret not saying something sooner. Take the risk if it's worth it to you and if you don't want to have regrets. YOLO worst thatll happen is he doesn't like you and then yk for sure

What stopped you? My fear is rejection to the face and then I have to be around him after the fact

I’m sorry that’s how it played out for you, but I’m grateful for the advice. I like him so much and the thought of never telling him almost hurts as much as the thought of being rejected

Then you should 100% tell him

I just sent him a message confessing how I feel. I’m really nervous because I just know he’s so invested in this other girl, but maybe I beat her to the punch? I hope he’ll actually give me a chance

Proud of you! If you're anything like me you won't regret it in the long run even if it doesn't work out. At least you tried and took the risk, good for you!

Thank you! It was hard lol. I don’t regret it, but he did tell me he was talking to someone else. He was really nice about it though, said he appreciated my honesty and courage to reach out. Told me he thought I was doing a great job in the musical we’re in, and promised to not be awkward with me. We had a little conversation and are going to be friends. He said I seem like an amazing person and we’re supposed to hang out when we get back to college. Not the outcome I wanted, but not a bad one.
