How can I figure it out?
Hey everyone! I struggle with social anxiety, so I tend to be pretty shy. There’s an “ask your crush out” day at school coming up, and I’m really worried about being asked out, accepting, and then it turning out to be a joke. This happened to me last year with three different guys, and each time it was a prank. It was pretty embarrassing and very public. How can I tell if someone is serious or just messing around?

It’s completely understandable to feel anxious about this situation, especially after your past experiences. Here are a few tips that might help you gauge if someone is serious about asking you out:
Body Language: Pay attention to their body language when they interact with you. If they make eye contact, smile genuinely, and seem nervous but excited, it’s a good sign they might be serious.
Context Matters: Think about the context of the situation. If they ask you in a casual setting or in front of a lot of people, it may be more likely to be a joke. A more private or sincere atmosphere can indicate seriousness.
Their Track Record: Consider how this person has treated you before. Have they shown interest in you in the past, or are they known for joking around? If they’ve expressed genuine interest previously, it’s likely they mean it.
Ask a Friend: If you have a mutual friend, consider asking them about the person’s intentions. They might help you gauge whether your crush is being serious.
Trust Your Instincts: Ultimately, listen to your gut. If you feel like they are being sincere, it’s okay to take that leap of faith. If it feels off, trust that feeling too.
Remember, it’s completely okay to be cautious. You deserve to feel safe and respected in any situation! Good luck!
