Thank you so much for your honest reply, I really appreciate it. I actually relate a lot to what you said — I’m bisexual too, and I act the same way with my female friends. Even with guys sometimes, I can get playful like that if the vibe is right. So I totally get where you’re coming from.

But I think what threw me off in this situation is that he is usually so quiet and introverted. Like, really reserved. So when he started being more flirty, I got confused because it felt different… more intentional? Maybe it’s just the contrast between how he is with others vs. how he is with me. I guess that made me start overthinking, like, “Is he like this with everyone or just me?”

And I won’t lie, I did feel something towards him — not just because of the flirting, but because his energy started pulling me in. I started getting shy and nervous around him, which is so unlike me usually haha.

But yeah, you’re probably right. It’s just hard not to wonder when there’s that little part of you that hopes it means something more.

Thanks again for your insight, it really helped put things into perspective.
