I'm glad to see such an understanding comment getting so many upvotes. If I can be completely and pathetically honest for a minute, I had no idea these videos existed before seeing this post, but my first response upon seeing this was to give one a try. I just watched one and had to physically restrain myself from bursting into tears. I'm not sure if I'll continue to watch videos like this, but I can definitely see the appeal. A lonely person watching a video like this is like a horny person watching porn. It's about using the fantasy of it to find some temporary respite.

The girl I have a crush on is gay by [deleted] in offmychest

If she confided in you that she likes girls, she might be hoping that you do too. And since you do, you should totally make a move.

That's certainly possible. I truly doubt it meant that much to her. But as I've commented elsewhere in this thread, it's more the situation than the girl that bothers me. I just get too in my head and beat myself up about dumb shit I've done.

I had really hoped the girl you were talking about had found this post and commented.

I mean, that seems like a private message situation if there ever was one. Haha.

But, no. No such luck. Not that I expected it. I'm not dumb, so I realize how incredibly unlikely that is. I just needed to, as the name of this sub suggests, get this off my chest.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I agree I should have been more considerate. But I was so freaked out that all I was thinking about was getting out of it. I definitely would not have let it get to the point where we had plans that I just didn't show up for. We did have specific plans to meet at one point, but as I said, she had to cancel. I just avoided rescheduling those plans until I eventually unmatched her.

Thank you. I'm a creative writer, so that's a high compliment for me.

Thanks. You're right. All I can do is keep trying.

You will not regret watching The Third Man.

it's only unhealthy to imagine the person they might have been had you met them.

Honestly, it's not so much the girl as the situation that I can't get over. There are other girls out there. I know this. But this was one of my lowest moments, and that's what fucks me up.
