ok so ive been a very nerdy girl my whole life and I have this guy friend that I met my freshman year of highschool and this past year during my junior year we just got super close. Like we have separate friend groups but we love hanging out with each other. We have long 3-4 hour FaceTime calls where we try to work on hwk but mostly just share our inside jokes. We had a third girl in our friend group but she got annoying and even though my guy friend knew her longer than me he “chose” me over her. We always share stuff with each other and even borderline touch each other and sit very close to each other in an almost flirty way. But we were just friends and it was good that way. A while back I began to have a major crush on him but I never acted on it because I didnt want to ruin our friendship. We are so close, and lately he’s started calling me “b”. I thought this was short for b**** bc thats what we call each other in inside jokes. But now, he’s literally started calling me babe when we FaceTime (not all the time, like he’ll drop it occasionally)…over text ive also dropped “bb” but never said anything, just to see how he takes it. He’s never called another girl that although the flirting thing lowkey he might’ve done with other girl friends. Especially now that our annoying third friend is gone, sometimes I get mixed signals from him. Like he’s always looking out for my success and complimenting me on how funny I am…am I reading into this too much or is there smt there?
Sounds to me like you two have a “thing.” Relax and enjoy your relationship. As I’ve journeyed through life I’ve realized it isn’t important how we label relationships. What matters is the quality of them.
Love @Empireapple 's advice.
So……. when’s prom? ;
Enjoy even wondering about the status of your relationship. It has its own magic that you’ll come to appreciate much later in life when you’re old enough to look back with nostalgia.
If him calling you “b” and “bb” are all you have to go off of…you are definitely reading into it.
