Hey! So i am making this post as I have nobody to talk or to vent to.

I'm a fellow introvert guy studying at uni. There's this girl in my class that I have a crush on. I learned from her friends that she's also introverted. Yet I didn't tell her explicitly that I liked her for fear of rejection on the one hand and because I have social anxiety on the other hand (that I am working on overcoming it). I'm also shy by nature...

I couldn't just sit by and do nothing, so I added her up on social media and started texting her. The thing is that I am always the one initiating conversations and it kinda hit me /bothered me as I'm the only one who puts in effort. With the pandemic, things got a little bit difficult so I tried different things : tried organizing a one-to-one watch party (movies ) and she rejected. Same result with games....

I am always the one asking her questions to make the conversation going and taking interest in her. Yet, it's a one sided effort (from my end)

One day, I explicitly told her that she could message me if she wants to talk or do sth together. Yet nothing happened

We haven't actually talked for more than 2 weeks now (I stopped texting her first as I was kinda tired of always being the initiator in every conversation and I also thought that if she cared even a bit about me, she would eventually reach out but she didn't ) and it's not a mind game I'm playing. And this is making me feel confused and lose hope.

She seems hard to read, and she takes 1-2 days to reply to a text....

What do you guys think I should do ? Any advice is appreciated

PS :introverted girls of reddit ! I would like to hear your opinions

But any advice from anyone is appreciated as this situation is getting into my head and is making me suffer a lot....
