Things seemed swoon-worthy with your crush...well, until they ghosted you/asked out another girl/made you feel kinda meh. Now, they're back and on their best behavior. But is bae worth the bother?
THEY LEFT YOU HANGING
They asked for your number at a holiday party...then never texted. When they spot you at the library a few weeks later, they ask if you're free this weekend.
THEIR MOTIVE: Maybe he was seeing someone. Maybe she was swamped with school projects. Or maybe they hadn't figured out their feelings until this very moment. Whatever it was, it took 'til now for them to wake up and get the hint.
YOUR MOVE: Take them up on their offer. You'll likely find out why they never got in touch. But if they ignore you again? Bye!
