Seven behaviors the channel says sabotage your chances with a crush, mostly variations on coming on too strong or hiding your feelings.

Key points

  • Coming on too strong: there is a difference between being forthcoming and being forceful; constant fawning or following them around scares people off.
  • Fantasizing aloud about a shared future ("you'll be my future wife/husband"): presumptuous and creepy when you are not in a committed relationship.
  • Sending mixed signals: warm one minute, ignoring them the next makes them feel you do not care or are playing a game.
  • Acting like you do not care: ignoring, criticizing, or disrespecting them to mask your feelings crosses into being rude and hurtful.
  • Pretending to be someone you are not: trying too hard to impress backfires; just be yourself.
  • Acting jealous or possessive over who they spend time with: comes across as insecure, controlling, and needy.
  • Overthinking everything: agonizing over every detail makes interactions a needless emotional rollercoaster; they likely did not notice.
  • Closing advice: stay true to yourself, take it slow, and shoot your shot when confident.
