I havent posted in a while in the dollars, this is my first time in a while in months. But anyway during my absence, I recently been crushing on a guy that I used to crush on before quarantine started. We started to play more games together like Valorant and osu! if u guys know what that is. Its very fun but i feel like im not getting to know him as a person. Id like to talk to him more but its very nerve racking and im scared of feeling awkward. I know i know, I have to go with the flow but I tense up alot when Im nervous haha. I want to start alot of conversations with him without sounding weird and desperate. So far, I know that he loves anime and loves gaming but thats like surface level information if anyone got to know him a little bit. Any advice?

Propose him to do more things, play some kind of game to get to know each other better. You can also try talking to him more deeply about how each one is, tastes, etc. Little by little you will get to know him better and you will know if there is mutual interest. (Sorry for my english)

Definitely invite him to do more! suggest to him new anime, or other interests you have. Ask him his opinion on certain activities! ex. "Hey, do u like *blank*?"

I like your guys ideas a lot, they make sense. I would want to do that but I am quite nervous asking such questions haha. Im just worried that the conversation might go stale or that If it does i will force myself to keep the convo going even tho i know its going no where. Thats what happened last year basically and i rlly hate experiencing it. Sure, there will always be these moments with ur crush but it makes me hella nervous lol. However, I dont just wanna sit here and wait for nothing to happen. "what have i got to lose?" is what i tell myself all the time but i cant seem to follow thru lol.

There you have it, there's nothing to lose and it's okay to chat and get to know the other person more thoroughly. It really is not something weird, on the contrary, go calmly and what has to happen will happen. Anything you can write us.

Do you think if i straight up just said to him "whats up? im bored" then it won't be weird? I mean to tell you the truth, i rlly am bored most days so id want to talk to someone but ive never been upfront like that before. And i dont want him to find me weird but then again why would he? I dont know I think i am just overthinking again lmao. What are some good conversation starters that you guys have?

I currently like a person a little, I usually start a conversation with joke stickers and that person returns them to me. Then we talk normally, and we ask ourselves typical questions about how the day is going. The downside is that I know that you still have feelings for someone else and I can't do anything about that.
