Carlyn Ewarta month ago How Do I Approach My College Crush Without Being Weird? I’m a freshman in college, and I’ve developed a crush on this quiet guy in my ELA class. I’ve been following him on Instagram, and honestly, we seem like we’d be a great match. The only problem? We’ve never had a single conversation. I’m not sure how to approach him without coming off as awkward or weird. To add to the challenge, the semester ends in December, so time is running out. I’ve been thinking about DMing him on Instagram, but I’m really nervous about rejection—I don’t handle it well. For context, I only want serious relationships, not casual flings. Of course, I’d want to go on a few dates first to confirm we actually click before committing. Oh, and one more thing: I’ve never been in a relationship before, so I have no idea what I’m doing! I’d love advice—especially from a guy’s perspective—on how to approach him. I want to express interest without coming off as creepy or overly forward. Any tips?17
