My (29M) online friend (30’s F) has been flirting with me. She says her only intention is to boot my ego, but the way she is talking to be seems to be more than that. She will constantly message me and ask me to do things with her in game all the time. She also seems to want to know more about me, but any time I try and ask about her, she kind of brushes it off or changes the subject. She spent an entire day telling me that she had a crush on me (for a year??) and everything that she liked about me (the exact list will make this post too long). I really appreciate what she says, but I feel like I am on an emotional rollercoaster trying to figure out what exactly she wants. I have tried asking her, but it’s usually either ignored or the subject is changed. I do not want to cut ties, because she is an integral part of the group of friends I play with and I don’t want things to be awkward, but I really don’t know how to move forward with this situation. Any advice, even if it’s brutally honest, is welcome.
I will keep my eye out for anything suspicious. Thank you for the reply!
I’m glad to hear that. I didn’t want you to take my comment as a negative thing (about yourself, women or relationships.) In my experience, if you think someone is flirting with you they likely are. If you don’t know why they are flirting then you are either selling yourself short or your gut is telling you something seems off. Either way, every person has to find the balance between paranoia and openness that allows for both a fulfilling relationship and not getting sim jacked.
