My name is Sarah and I’m 16 years old. I always had a thing for my classmate, Johnathan. He’s popular among the girls because of his sweet personality and handsome facial features.
I’ve never had the courage to talk to him, so one day I set up a profile on a dating app with my friends by my side, using an alias. The alias is the name of his favorite fictional character from his favorite video game.
Johnathan started talking to me on the app and he was interested in meeting me in person. Eventually, we want up meeting at a park close to where he lives during one of our breaks from school. It was then that I revealed my true identity to him and he was so happy about it!

My best friend from high school, who I haven’t seen in years, has been messaging me on Facebook. I’m not sure what to make of it, but I really want to see her again.
One day, she messages me that she’s in town for work and asks if we could meet up for lunch. We don’t have much time before her work gets the lunch done so we get a quick bite together and when I go to pull out my wallet, she says I should pay. I say okay. She quickly leaves afterwards.
We exchange a few more messages over the next few days and then she says that she’s busy with work and can’t meet up again. We text back and forth a couple more times, but it kind of feels like she’s blowing me off so I stop responding to her messages.

I am a single, 34-year-old woman who has had a crush on a co-worker for some time now. I have never had my feelings reciprocated and am too scared to talk to him about it. One day I saw him talking to a girl and it looked like he was feeling her up. I just felt defeated.
The next day, my boss walks in and tells me she is getting married. I start crying and when she asks me what’s wrong, I tell her the story of my unrequited crush. She hugs me tight and says we’re going to get you a date with your crush!
She posts on social media, “My coworker needs a date to my boss’s wedding.” And the next day she takes me out for lunch with the guy! He agrees to go to the wedding with me but doesn’t say anything about our future relationship.
