Question

There's this Guy at my uni that I've had a crush on for several years Now. And i have suspected him of feeling the same towards me.

I found him on fb Since We have the same friends. I saw that He added lots of people from uni He hardly talks to, so i decided to send him a friend request hoping it will help us both be less shy around each other next time we meet.

However He still hasn't accepted me despite being online two days in a row! I know this because every time He accepted a friend request it popped up in my feed which is weird Since He's not on my friend list. So I'm wondering why he won't add me? Why won't a man not add a uni acquaitance when is he has loads he never hangs out with?

I'm just really confused. Should I wait a while and then remove my request if He doesn't accept?

Really confused. I know it may sound silly. But I just need advice!

Thanks In advance.

Well, it's happened. I've been waiting for someone to ask a question that solidifies my most recent hypothesis about an epidemic plaguing the human race, and you have done it, my friend.

It is very obvious by your question that society is becoming mute. Maybe it's something in the water, maybe direct eye contact has suddenly become some sort of culture faux pas, I don't know. What I do know, however, is that everyone has suddenly developed a crippling aversion to opening their mouths and letting sound come out when standing in front of a person or a group of people. No longer shall weak thumbs be considered a recessive gene. In fact, natural selection is already taking place and babies are being born with only thumbs. Giant thumbs with weird and new ways of oscillating. No mouths either. Look it up. It's all happening, man.

That fact that you are monitoring his online presence in an uncomfortable big brother kind of way suggests that you are a) a stalker, or b) confined to your computer chair. Maybe if, you know, you said "Hi!" to him in class, or sat near him and struck up a conversation prior to class starting he would add you. Maybe he doesn't even know who you are because you have never spoken to him, and you assuming that he will just add you willy-nilly is far too presumptuous on your part.

I think my answer to this question is pretty obvious by now. Wait, let me rephrase that in a way you can understand. U wan nswer? I giv u nswer. Talk 2 hm in ppl. Asx hm if u can c hm knot in uni n mayb git a drankkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)lmao

Okay, lets start this off by getting your story a little straighter, and a little less illiterate.

A few years ago you meet a guy at university, and over those years, you begin to suspect that he might also possibly like you back. So you wait until a few days ago, get online — for specifically two days, by the sound of it — and are now confused as to why he hasn't added you, though he has added other people who you equate yourself self with, socially speaking.

Well, before I say anything else, I'd like to commend both you and Mark Zuckerberg for how quickly you caught onto the use of the Internet. For only just having started using it a few days ago, it's either a sign that you're incredibly intelligent, or that Mark Zuckerberg really has created a revolutionarily intuitive and simple online social network. Kudos Mark.

In a nutshell, it sounds like this guy doesn't really know who you are, and hasn't added you because of it. Why has he added these other people, who you say he knows no better than you? I don't know, ask him. That kind of information is weird and personal, which makes it extra creepy when you claim that you know how well he knows these other people.

What you should've done in the beginning was a) be on the internet with everyone else a decade ago and b) not been creepy, but rather just let it go when some no-name douche didn't like you two years ago and now continues this by not knowing who you are on Facebook.

To conclude, you randomly met this guy in first year, he didn't like you then, and he doesn't remember you now, when you tried to add him on Facebook. You need to move on, like, two years ago. Or create a bunch of profiles for yourself and friend request him with them. Yeah, that'll work for sure.
