So the thing is that whenever I (17F) have a crush on a guy I try not to make it so obvious, but when notice that a guy likes me back and actively flirts with me, makes time for me and tries to spend time alone with me and we're basically in a situationship and feel like it's time to take the next step, aka flirt back and stop acting clueless, I notice that the guy just pulls away and stops being so proactive until it turns into me just liking them but feeling confused and heartbroken. Do you not like the girl you like to flirt back or am I doing something wrong?
