so nice to have a lil crush:
- getting texts and double texts from them
- making plans to hang out and doing things together
- asking each other lots of questions
- “we should go get dinner afterwards”
- walking home together
- making eye contact and smiling
- they show you things on their phone and they get a little close to you
- not telling them youre crushing
- wondering if they feel the same and yet not worrying about it
- enjoying yourself

it makes everything so much sweeter and giddier!!
the best part about having a crush is sharing it with your bffs — highly recommend a multi hour phone call or in person gab sesh ala Aquamarine (10/10 movie in general, but the friend & crush vibe is elite)
lean into the silliness!! Learn to laugh at yourself when you catch the crush making you silly. consider how damn endearing it is when you see someone so earnestly in like and enjoy that quality in yourself

maybe there’s nothing wrong with you and there‘s just (many) other factors at play / or it‘s really just that damn phone

when i worked at the Apple Store / Genius Bar in college, we were trained on "assuming positive intent" from customers and peers. at the time, when i was a shithead 20-year-old, i thought this phrase was such bullshit. of course i can tell when someone has malicious intent, why not respond in kind! but now that i'm a bit older, i've realized the real wisdom behind the idea "assume positive intent" is that, when faced with interpersonal conflict, it's better to take the path of least resistance and keep your cool.
for example, if i'm getting kind of annoyed with someone at work and i want to write a snarky email, i find it best to walk away from the keyboard and write my response when i'm feeling less activated.
the result is that i can feel good about how i handle my feelings, i reflect better on other people, and i'm being an actual grown up. ;~)
