ALRIGHT PEOPLE I'M TAGGING PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO ANYTHING PERTAINING TO MY LOVE LIFE I HAVE THE BEST NEWS

@Szeth's Facepalm @Robin Sedai @Thaidakar the Ghostblood uhhhhhh who else uhhh uhhhhhh @The Wandering Wizard you seem vibey lets get you invested @Morningtide YOU MORNINGTIDE GET OVER HERE. @Spook's biggest fan we are friends so you have to know ab me.

ok i think thats everyone

ok

now

*hem hem* *aheeeeehmm*

ok

so

for those who do not know, on saturday night, i got that random urge to just tell K (crush/best friend, if you know you know) that I like her. So I decided to listen to that urge. (yo wait Inside Out moment eyoo????) On sunday, i contacted several friends asking for advice on how to best do so. While waiting for a response, I grabbed K in the hallway at church and said, verbatim:

"I need to talk to you about something important, preferably this week. When works?"

"I get home around 4:30..."

"Tomorrow 4:40, then?"

"Sure. i guess. (wtf...)"

"Great see you then."

And then I waited.

And waited.

And waited some more. Throughout all of today I had butterflies in my stomach and was very very nervous. I got more advice from friends and got much hyped up.

And then, I went over to her house. She answered the door, and I swear I don't know how she manages to look so. storming. gorgeous. every. single. storming. day. 

So I stall for like 10 minutes, hanging out with her, her sis, her bro, and her dog (all three of which i am also friends with)

And then, we manage to chase off her siblings, and we go under the table hockey table thingy to talk. The convo starts off very slow and awkward, bc i have no idea what i'm doing. and she's just looking at me, saying nothing but being so encouraging. (gods i love this girl)

But I start at the beginning. The very beginning, when I first had a crush on her before covid (before that crush kinda faded and i dated two other girls) before reaching more recent times, when i reference that I had noticed the crush around mid to late February, and then after I binged Arcane with her over spring break, i realized it was legit feelings, not just a crush.

So then I told her, "So I've basically, just had a crush on you for four months. And haven't told you. And been struggling with that. As a sophomore. With homework."

Now, since I'm somehow funny, she starts laughing (which is the most amazing sound in the world dshaoueubao and it's easy for me to make her laugh apparently)

and then she leans in and goes, "c'mere"

and i recoil because confused and dramatic white boi lmao

and she laughs and unrecoils me and then...

SHE KISSES MY CHEEK AND THEN I REALIZE SHE LIKES ME BACK AND THEN I'M ON TOP OF THE MOON ON TOP OF THE WORLD ON TOP OF SATURN ON TOP OF PLUTO I'M SO HAPPY AAAAAAAAAAAAA

so that happens we talk for a bit more (apparently she's also liked me back for some time as well and i was right in my assumptions) and then we just hang out for a while afterwards.

so yeah. i've still got a while to go before it's a full fledged bf/gf situation, but my bestie knows i'm basically in love with her, and she feels similarly. and i'm very happy. like, insanely happy.

thank you for reading.

does she act like she likes you back?

do you catch her randomly just looking at you, or randomly leaning towards you, or anything similarly?? are you already friends or is this just a classic crush???

[The Wandering Wizard]

I'm not exactly sure but maybe it just might be my positivity though.

When ever I try to go talk to her I go talk to her brother instead as he is my friend and his older brother is as well but I don't really see him anymore.

[Medium]

well just keep being a good person, and tell her when it feels right. it might work because it did for me (somehow(I swear i'm living in a fairytale))

[Robin Sedai]

AHHHHHH I'm so happy for you! Congratulations, and well done on working up the nerve to tell her!

Congrats, @CalanoCorvus!

Okay, I'mma be a nerd here for a quick sec.  

I like old things.  I like sewing.  Well, Saturday I went antiquing, and I found circa 1920's silk flowers!  They're in incredibly good condition, and they're probably a hundred years old, and that, to me, is really cool!  (I got six for five dollars, it's great.)  But not only that!  In another shop, out of absolutely nowhere, I found a Victorian era linen shift.  It might be from France.  It was so cool!  It had underarm gussets, and the hem was selvage, and so was the neckline, and I don't know how that works, but I want to find out.  The linen was really good quality too, especially for something that's roughly a hundred years old.  Old stuff!  Is so!  Neat!

I am seriously tempted to hand sew another shift now.

Congratulations, @CalanoCorvus! Your courage has won through!

Very happy for you @CalanoCorvus.

I know what you feel like, I still sometimes feel surprised that my girlfriend and I are together.

Now for my somewhat blunt(I won't say anything mean though, don't worry) commentary.

Under the air hockey table? Why? I guess there are worse places you could go though.

I don't know exactly how to say this, but she seems kind of forward. It was well over a month after my gf and I were official that either of us kissed the other, and it was a very awkward situation because neither of us was sure if the other was alright with it. Not that it's anything wrong, it's just a kiss on the cheek, I'm pretty sure the Standards for Youth pamphlet says that's fine.

That's.... sweet. I don't have another word for it, so that's what it is. Don't be offended please, some people don't like that word. I mean it in a really good way!!
