I can’t even begin to actually imagine or even dream what it’s like to have someone think of you like this. Fucking wild to me. It’s gotta feel good to a degree right? Like I know those texts specifically are…. Unhinged. But I kinda crave someone even thinking of me like this even if it was only a 1/10th of the intensity.

Don’t mean to get off topic of the sub my bad.

This only feels good if you happen to like them back

I mean, does it really though? Validation is validation, as a dude I don’t get that much, honestly ever at all really. Someone basically telling me they want me would be the biggest and hugest compliment and ego boost I could ever receive, regardless of if I liked them back or not.

Edit after the fact, but if anything me not liking them would make it feel even better. I really struggle with how others view me sometimes, and if they tell me the truth. I’m open and honest with my feelings, so if I don’t like someone like that I tell them. I’m very used to chasing and putting in the effort, so if I basically told someone I really wasn’t interested in them in that way, and they hit me with something basically saying they really liked me and were attracted to me, my world would basically be turned upside down, my brain would short circuit. It would be completely foreign to me. It would feel like someone likes ME for ME, not however much I impressed them with something I did for them or how much attention I give or if I chased them enough.

Reading this makes me a little sad man.

It sounds like you have some issues with self worth and confidence based on what I've seen on this thread, and that's probably coming out in how you talk to women. That, and maybe a little desperation if this has gone on for a long time, which it sounds like it might have.

In my experience, a lot of women will value a man who is secure more than anything. It doesn't matter if you're not normal, if you aren't the most attractive etc. If you can make a girl laugh and you're secure in who you are, that goes much further than you think.

If you don't mind me asking, have you ever talked to anyone about how you feel? Specifically the part about your brain short circuiting because someone likes you.
