But just last month, he told me he liked someone else. And I was so sad, but I eventually let it go. But, the point is, idk what to do to remain friends until I work up the courage to ask him to date me. Ik he likes me as a friend.
I'm confused. Am I missing someone else in this story? You want to ask out a boy who told you that he has a crush on someone else and therefore wouldn't date you? That's just asking for more pain.
If you want to stay his friend, then that's great! But it's time to be friends and let go of pursuing him romantically. Just be friends with him. That's a great relationship to have. :>

And on top of all these signs that he's alright with being close with me, my boyfriend is increasingly annoying me. He acts like his age a lot (a few years difference), which is to be expected, and I'm getting really irritable and aggressive sometimes. I know it's me that's the problem, with my no patience and inability to understand from his POV. But his family is starting to feel like it's crushing me too- his mom's awful selfish and thinks she can ground him at my house (in the process also punishing me for no good reason?), his siblings love me a lot but they love me so much that I feel like I have to be there for them, and his dog is the purest little thing so what would she think if I started to doubt him and I? I feel like I HAVE to stay here and I HAVE to act happy for all these people, but I don't even know if I like him that much as of rn- I think if we were a little older maybe but rn there's too much of a maturity gap. It kinda feels like I'm an unpaid baby sitter when I go over sometimes? He knows how I feel about M and he knows how un-myself I've been recently.
You do not have to stay. You do not have to pretend. Just because you've thrown it around a lot, I'm just going to mention that I think staying to make someone else pretend happy even though it's unfair to all of you is a pretty immature decision. ;3 You get to be happy. You get to live your life. We can care deeply for and love people who are not good for us. It does not mean we are required to suffer for them.

I wrote him a note asking if we could forget the whole drama and awkwardness that's been going on for the past 7 weeks and just be friends, but then he got sick for a week and now he's come back and its still awkward between us, im not sure if I should approach him about the note or not, or really what I should do, any ideas?
What do you want to do? What feels right to do?

I hope he comes in again while I’m working at WM, I’m gonna ask him to see a movie or something 😏 My coworker was like “you think he’s cute don’t you?” I was like “GIRL YES 🤤” is it unprofessional to do things like that at work? I don’t really go anywhere, I just stay home when I’m not working and I don’t really like going out 😥
Today I was informed that he’s just a Subway crush and everyone has them.
Oops, I meant to reply to your first message.
If it were a customer asking out a worker, that's definitely inappropriate. I don't know that asking out a customer is inappropriate per se... but what happens if they say no? Do they get so uncomfortable, they can no longer come to this Subway? Do you feel like you can't serve them and cause your coworkers to juggle around you so you don't have to serve them? I know that it's really hard when this is really the majority of interaction you have with other people, them being customers, but I think agree that it might be best to consider him just a "Subway crush". </3
