I think theyre joking but communication is key, ask them

I never answer questions but I felt the sheer frustration in this as I was reading and imma go ahead and give my 2 cents. I'm also gonna jump the gun and assume your crush is a boy, bc they are the only mfs ik who pull this kinda shit. *psa* I'm blunt as fuck, but I mean no ill will. sorry if I sound like an ass first things first, y'all are NOT......
I don't know other alternatives. But the best way for a good healthy relationship is always two-ways communication & understanding.
