My crush is a topper(18M) and I(18F), and we were in something like a situationship for about 3–4 months. He would sometimes act like a boyfriend, sometimes be rude, and sometimes be protective. It all started when my friend directly asked him on Instagram, 'Do you like A?' and he said no. But just when I decided to move on, he messaged me himself before deactivating his ID and gave me his WhatsApp. ​And guess what? We talked a lot. Once, around 1 AM, he said he was going to a nearby river outside his hostel—a secluded place with no network. I told him not to go, and he stayed back, saying, 'I’m only staying because you asked me to.' Early on, he even suggested we play online games together. When he was traveling to Uttarakhand for a game, he talked to me continuously for 6 hours on the train. ​Fast forward to his farewell organized by us juniors; I went to his hostel (not by choice, a teacher sent me to give an invitation to the warden). When we saw each other, I felt there was something in his heart for me. I was well-dressed and looking pretty, and he looked handsome too. On February 15th, I wished him at midnight for his birthday, but he had fallen asleep early. Eventually, on February 20th, I gave up. I haven’t blocked him anywhere, and he still views all my stories and statuses. Do you think he actually liked me, or was this all just in my head?"
