At the time, you only saw him as a friend.

There had never been any consideration of him as anything else other than someone you connected with platonically.

This is why you friendzoned him when he asked you out on a date.

Since then, your feelings for him have changed.

Thoughts of him are prevalent in your mind.

There is a persistent curiosity about whether he still likes you.

This has led to you wanting to know what is happening in his life.

All of a sudden, you are spending hours on his social media, watching and analyzing everything he says or posts.

You have developed a crush on this guy, and you never expected it.

Back when he asked you out on a date and you turned him down, you had no doubt in your mind that you felt no physical attraction towards him.

Unfortunately, you didn’t realize that this perception would change in the future.

The future that you are in at this moment.

The first thing you need to do is ask yourself why your mind has changed about him.

Why do you have a crush on this guy?

Make sure that it isn’t for facetious reasons.

If you are suddenly lonely when you weren’t at the time he asked you out, this isn’t a good reason to have a crush on him.

Should this be the reason for this crush, it is primarily based on an empty void in your life that you desperately want filled.

Given that he has already asked you on a date in the past, looking to him to fill the void of loneliness is a natural inclination, as it is an easier path than that of looking to a stranger to fill it.

Loneliness is not the right condition by which to develop a crush on someone.

It’s a crush that is based on desperation.

Meaning, any romantic connection you establish with him moving forward won’t be healthy.

A relationship based on this premise doesn’t last long, as it is built on a pretentious foundation.

Once you are no longer feeling as lonely, and a guy who is more of a fit of what you find physically attractive appears, you are bound to jeopardize the relationship you have with your crush.

This is where you are suddenly making yourself less available to go out on dates with him, and you are talking to him less on the phone.

This leads to the dissolution of the relationship as you turn your attention to the guy who fits the archetype of what you are usually physically attracted to.

To avoid this outcome, ask yourself why you suddenly have a crush on this guy.

If it is based on genuine reasons, such as a sudden realization that you weren’t emotionally available at the time he asked you out and that you are now, this is a much better basis for the crush you have on him.

Even though you friendzoned him, it doesn’t mean he stopped liking you.

Guys are primarily motivated by their physical attraction to a woman when they are looking for a romantic connection.

Since he has already asked you out in the past, it means that he is physically attracted to you.

This hasn’t changed simply because he asked you out and you turned him down some time ago.

As long as nothing significant has changed about how you look physically, you are still his type.

All you have to do is ask him whether he is still interested in taking you out on a date.

You must be upfront with your intention.

Anything other than this makes him less likely to ask you out.

He has already done it before, and you turned him down.

If he isn’t certain you have clearly changed your mind about him and genuinely want to go out on a date with him, he won’t want to risk rejection by asking you out again.

Be transparent with your interest in him, and there is a good chance he will be encouraged to ask you out again.
