sooooo a funny situation happened (tl;dr: someone has supposedly a crush on me and i list all my options)
a bunch of classmates (we sit in lil desk groups of like 6 ppl each but the groups are so close together that i can talk to like 7 different people if i wanted to) during science class told me that apparently some guy has a crush on me
a few things:
- i don't know this guy on a friends basis, or practically any basis. literally i don't think we've talked.
- i (obviously) don't like him that way, he rings as the type of guy i wouldn't relate with at all (kids cartoon enjoyer person x average teenager who likes sports doesn't go together well IMO)
and so. they (people who told me this) were all like "do you have snap? instagram? we can give you his" and i said yes to the instagram (bc i dont have snapchat) and im just sitting there sorta just registering the fact that someone has a crush on me despite almost never interacting with me??? at all??? like sometimes he'll comment on smth i said and i'll comment back but it's strictly classmate to classmate
those two who told me (yea there were two of them, a guy and a girl) were like. 100% trying to like get us talkin or something. i don't know. all i know is that they were super insistent on it. the dude was like trying to convince me like "he's hot" (which, aesthetically speaking, i could see. fair. he looked conventionally ok tbh)
i tried to tell em that i didn't share those feelings back and eventually i caved and said "he'd make a good friend, i guess" and they said that they were gonna share his insta after class (they must've forgot or smth bc it didn't happen, i didn't want to remind them anyways)im basically on the level of denying that the whole thing happened/assuming they were joking because how in holy fuck does one develop a crush by never actually talking to said person?
i mean he must've straight up went purely by looks then, which doesn't compute because im not ugly and i certainly never think i am but ive always considered myself not crush material (proven wrong 1 time before, making the number of times people have crushed on me 2)
maybe it's got to do with me bein aroace but i simply refuse to believe people could have a crush on me, because it's just not possible. but it also is? idkkkk
anyways. what should i do if they mention it again:
1) pray to the universe that they will conveniently forget (the option im sticking with)
if they don't, then:
2) get his insta, talk to him, turn him down politely
3) don't get his insta, avoid trouble of rejecting
4) hope that it was a joke and that it was purely out of satire. that they won't bring up the same satire twice (similar to 1st option, but with added denial)
5) get his insta, reject, but make new friend
anyways help.
being aroace sucks on moments like this because i have the experience of an awful "someone has a crush on me" to be able to reject easy and early, but im low on irl friends so maybe that could work out?
idk how this whole "crushes" thing works. i mean it's certainly confirming that i am in the age range of romantic crushes and that i am 100% aroace but it's hard to deal with other people's messes

Yeah that sucks, my own first reaction would also be instant panic to be honest… But there is a good chance they were testing the waters for him, and your response of ‘He’d make a good friend I guess’ has probably told them you are not interested ‘like that’. I guess that is why they did not bring it up again after class. I am doing a whole lot of assuming here though 😅
