First wlw crush in a long time
I’m bi and recently my (male) ex and I broke up and he went back to dating. We remain very good friends even as he dates other women.
(Important context: I hadn’t fully explored my wlw side before I went into that straight relationship)
I was a little envious that he was already dating and he was secretive about her. The natural thing was to start stalking her socials.
Except I think I went a little too hard on the stalking bit and became obsessed with each bit I could find. (Only ethically, stalking is a big word for what I actually did, it was more like paying attention to posts she likes)
Now I feel weird around her (met her a few times now), like I have to impress her. I kept thinking of gifts to make her and places my ex could take her on dates.
Long story short: I think I might have a crush on the same girl as my ex🤣
(Luckily it’s a very minor crush but feelings are funny like that, plus it gave me back some of that validation that I am in fact, not straight)
