HOLD HAND OR HOLD PEN IN JC🤔
POV: you’re an OGL and camp ends but your feelings didnt.
i didn’t expect to be this confused, but here we are 😵💫
there are two guys, and i genuinely don’t know if i’m overthinking or if orientation camp just messed with my emotions,,
first one: my ogling
when i first saw him, i lowkey felt my heart started racing at 100km/h..he’s tall, handsome, literally my type looks-wise😍. he plays tennis and rock climbs, which are also my hobbies, so it felt like we had a lot in common from the start. almost an instant connection. ✨
during camp, a lot of girls in the og were interested in him, even the j2s, so i kept telling myself not to think too much. I probably dont stand a chance.
but then… during burning bridges, i thought he’d pick a fellow og mate… and instead he picked me as the most attractive girl in the og. that moment did something to me for sure🥲🦋
one morning before camp, we had breakfast together because he lives near me. i was super shy, but he was really nice, paid for my meal, and the conversation flowed naturally. on the last day of camp, he wrote me a card and got me a donut to thank me for leading the og. small gestures, but they gave me butterflies 🫠, and i couldn’t stop staring at him too hahah oops
the problem is… he’s a junior.
i don’t know if it’s weird for a senior to like a junior, and i really don’t want rumours about me “preying” on him.
he also hangs out with other girls, and i don’t want to read too much into things that mean nothing~
second one: my fellow ogl
we’ve always been good friends, but planning orientation camp together for months made us much closer. leading the og side by side, i got to know him more as a person. we share similar dreams and goals, and we just click💫
i never found him attractive at first sight, he’s more shy and not exactly my type looks-wise. but he’s funny, thoughtful, and i feel really comfortable around him!
recently, he’s been doing things that make me go HMMM.. during lecture, i casually mentioned i was cold and he immediately put his jacket on me. 🤔after a long day of camp, we were packing until 11pm and were the last to leave school. even though he lives an hour away, he took mrt with me all the way home and walked me to my block, even after i kept refusing🥲
he even MISSED his last train and had to grab home, didn’t complain at all, and still checked on me after i got home. i felt so apologetic but also really touched💗
at the same time, he still teases me like usual…🤬💪🏻
so i can’t tell if he likes me or if he’s just being nice. i also value this friendship too much to not want to ruin it.
i don’t want to sound like a mina-sue from singles inferno (lol).
i’m not leading anyone on.
i’m just… confused 🙃
i don’t know what’s real and what’s just my imagination anymore..🫠
💬 has anyone experienced this before?
🤔how do you tell the difference between kindness and interest?
❓what would you do in my situation?
PLS SEND HELP in the comments…i need some perspective💖🥹

After my orientation camp experience, I realized that distinguishing between genuine romantic interest and simple kindness is much harder than it seems. For example, when he put his jacket on me or walked me home despite missing his last train, those small gestures felt like signals—but I kept wondering if he was just being a good friend. Reflecting on this, I learned it helps to observe consistent patterns over time rather than isolated moments. Another important thing to consider is how these feelings affect your sense of comfort and friendship dynamics. Sometimes, the fear of ruining an important friendship can make you hesitant to interpret actions as romantic. Opening up about your feelings, even just a little, can provide clarity—whether through casual conversations or subtle hints. Plus, the camp environment itself is emotionally charged, so it’s natural to feel extra sensitive. I reminded myself not to overthink and to give things time to unfold naturally. Sometimes, enjoying the connection without pressure is the best way to understand what’s real. If you’ve been in the same spot, how did you tell the difference between kindness and romantic interest? Any perspective or experience would mean a lot. Let’s support each other through these tricky feelings!
Lowkey based on instinct the second one seems interested in you!! Most guys especially shy ones won’t just give their jacket to a random girl haha :))
