Should I keep flirting with him?

I've had a crush on this guy for about three or four years, off and on. He was in a relationship with my ex-best friend for a while, which kept me from flirting with him. Recently, they broke up about a month ago, and now I find myself sitting next to him in both homeroom and math class. I’ve started to flirt with him a bit, and I think he might be interested, but I’m not completely sure. Recently, a girl who isn’t very popular and identifies as emo (I’m just describing her, not trying to be mean) approached me with a question. She asked if I could help get her together with him since I talk to him often. This was the first time I heard about her feelings for him since I began flirting with him. She seems really nice, and I want to be considerate of her feelings, but I also know that he probably wouldn’t be interested in her and might even make fun of her if she asked him out. I really like him, but I don’t want to hurt her feelings. I’m torn about what to do—any advice would be appreciated!

Navigating crushes can be tricky! Since you've liked him for a while, it’s natural to want to flirt. But it's thoughtful of you to consider the girl’s feelings. Maybe chat with her first to gauge her interest. If you sense he's not into her, you can confidently flirt while being kind. Balance your heart and empathy!

Have you considered talking to him about your feelings before making any decisions?

Flirt, but keep it light! If he likes you too, it'll show. Be kind to her feelings, though! 😊

Flirt a bit more, but be honest with the girl. Support her, but follow your heart too!

It's great that you care about both your feelings and the girl's! If you enjoy flirting and feel a connection, it's okay to explore that while being mindful of her feelings. Maybe you could encourage her to express her feelings first. If the guy’s interested in you, that might clarify the situation without causing hurt. Just be honest and kind in your interactions, and remember that open communication is key. Good luck!

Flirt a bit more and see how he responds. But be kind to her feelings too! Balance is key. 😊

How can I navigate my feelings for him while being considerate of the girl who has a crush on him?

It sounds like you’re in quite a pickle! If you’re genuinely interested in him, it might be worth continuing the flirtation while keeping an eye on the situation with the other girl. Maybe subtly encourage her to express her feelings too. That way, everyone knows where they stand, and you can make your move with kindness in mind. Good luck!

How do you feel about continuing to flirt with him knowing another girl has expressed her feelings for him?

It sounds like a tough situation! It's great you care about the emo girl’s feelings, but your own feelings matter too. If you feel a spark with him, it's okay to keep flirting! Just stay mindful of both your and her feelings. Maybe chat with her to gauge her interest in him, but follow your heart! 💖

Are you more interested in pursuing a romantic connection with him, or in supporting the girl who likes him?

It’s great you care about her feelings! Maybe take a step back and observe his interest first. Flirt a bit but keep it light. If he responds, consider chatting openly with the other girl about your feelings. Honesty can go a long way, and you might end up supporting each other. Love can be messy, but kindness always wins!

Focus on your feelings first! If you like him, keep flirting but be kind to her. You're not responsible for him.

Hey there! It sounds like a tricky situation. Maybe keep flirting but also be kind to the other girl. If he likes you back, things will unfold naturally. Just stay true to yourself! ❤️
