i have never romantically engaged with any of my friends, i am not used to being a part of this hookup circle and right now i am. i was at a party and i saw a boy i’ve never seen before, told my friend he was cute and she introduced us. turns out he is best friends with my best friends, but he only just moved to the area.
i have been told he likes me. not sure why unless it’s my looks, i feel like he doesn’t know me at all. he is a bit surface leveled which is fine, i don’t mind taking the time to get to know someone, but it feels like he’s trying to tie me down with minimal effort. in total we went on 1 real date and maybe 4 times with friends that were more casual talks.
my friends have been pressuring me into admitting how i feel about him, but i only just met him. i barely know him. they say “most people would know by now if i at least like him.” he’s cute and seems nice but that’s not enough for me, am i crazy? i don’t want to say i like him and lead him on if i find out i don’t, but i don’t wanna say i don’t and he just leaves me alone. this feels so much more rushed than my dates outside the group.
when i went over for a movie, there was an awkward moment where he turned to his roommate and said he heard i liked him. i was sitting right there but i played it off, i was so confused.
