Posted by malloryorYou're probably right, I'm not entirely sure why I ever even said it but I have a talent for wrecking relationships by saying something stupid. Frankly though, I don't think he likes me at all; I was trying to figure out if he hates me or something or if every time he sabotaged me was just by accident.
Sweetie how old are you? This entire thing sounds really immature.
You should of never mentioned you had a crush on him on April Fools of all days, it only comes across like you are seeing his emotions as a toy to be played with and that is not nice.
No wonder he is ignoring you. You telling him "i have a crush on you" is just a joke (even if that is a lie) is the VERY reason this entire april fools prank failed. It plays on emotions. Its disrespectful and quite frankly makes you look silly and mean all at the same time.
Please just apologize and leave it at that. The poor guy probably feels a bit humiliated and embarrassed about the whole thing. Leave the crush thing out of it, unless you are mature enough to own up to it being true. If you arent that type of woman, then leave the chase to the man.
Posted by FirstDecanTaurianWomen0428No, I wouldn't directly ask him that in the first place, not give him a chance to answer if I was going to just turn him down.
Cause if he said yes you would pull away and say just joking. Haha that's a joke for real.
Posted by FirstDecanTaurianWomen0428Actually I was just trying to figure out if he hates me because sometimes it seems as if he does. I do really like him but at the same time, it's not something that will survive.
Sounds like you really do like him and played around to see what he would say even though you hardly no him at all.
Posted by busyeyes88Right so I want some specific advice from you: when I said it was a prank, I only specifically mentioned the quitting lab part being a prank but I never specifically called the crush part a prank as well, so would a Taurus guy specifically ask me about it or would be just ignore it all until I bring it up?Posted by TheEmpressYou love "games" don't you?! Taurus people like pranks but not of the heart or if there is a crush involved ie a person actually crushed on me then turned it into a joke then I would "friendzone" him forever. I don't have time for silly games!
Yesterday was my favorite day of the year, official pranking day! Anyway, in spirit of the day, I pranked a bunch of people, including my new lab partner. We've been working together for about 6 months and have kind of become friends (well, it seemed as if he considered me a friend looking at the way he spoke yesterday, sometimes it's hard to tell). Anyway, I decided to prank him and I was originally only planning to say that I quit the lab but I figured that he wouldn't really care much if I did since he's leaving anyway (he's graduating in a month or so). Instead of just saying that I quit lab, I also added that I have a huge crush on him. He didn't know if I was being serious or if I was pranking him and he asked me but I wouldn't give a straight answer and he stopped replying after a while.
I texted him close to midnight to tell him that I was just pranking him and I wouldn't quit lab that easily but I've been getting the silent treatment. How do I diffuse the situation— By the way, the crush part wasn't a joke, that's actually true but I don't really want him to know that and I'm planning to just say that it was part of the prank.
Are you a libra?click to expand
Posted by busyeyes88I'm a Libra rising but I have no idea how much importance that actually holds but rising is all about how I'm perceived by others so I guess it would apply here.
Oh you are not a libra but a "mutable" nonetheless! I think you are childish. Taurus men are quite mature and hate silly pranks especially if it's at their expense.
If you think it is "something that will not survive" then stop playing stupid games and leave him alone. Get your attention from someone else!
Posted by IllaLupusHmm I really don't know what to think about the seeming sabotage because I do know he has a habit of skimming details so I don't know if they were just those instances or if he just hated me and was actually trying to sabotage me. I mean, its happened 11 times so far so I hope you can see why I'd have trouble believing that he's not trying to sabotage me. I can't think of a motive though other than that I'm basically his replacement and I don't think our prof asked him if he'd be okay with working with me, he kind of just put me on his project and asked him to train me. He may not approve of me or just being unreasonably jealous because he's definitely worked very hard for very long to get to the position he's at and he may think I'm getting it too easy.Posted by busyeyes88Yep she's no cardinal

I've known a sabotaging immature game playing bull all my life. So if you think he wanted to wreck your shit probably wanted to. He wouldn't know maturity if it hit him on the head, same with the other two bulls.
Still though that's not something you really joke about on a serious note.click to expand
Posted by busyeyes88Yup, I have some Libra in me, i didn't really think rising signs were significant but I guess they are. I didn't know the whole game playing thing was a Libra trait, I don't really like doing it but I guess I end up doing it anyway.Posted by TheEmpress"11 times" that's the virgo in you... You counted how many times! Just leave him be! Pranks aside, whatever you two "share" it doesn't sound good!Posted by IllaLupusHmm I really don't know what to think about the seeming sabotage because I do know he has a habit of skimming details so I don't know if they were just those instances or if he just hated me and was actually trying to sabotage me.

You're right though, that's no reason to play with his feelings.click to expand
Posted by busyeyes88Okay he could hit me over the head with poster that says that he likes me and tell me that to my face and I'd still not get the hint, it has happened before. I recognize things that are kind of odd but I can never tell if its a sign that he likes me or just something weirPosted by TheEmpressHas he given you signs of interest?Posted by busyeyes88Right so I want some specific advice from you: when I said it was a prank, I only specifically mentioned the quitting lab part being a prank but I never specifically called the crush part a prank as well, so would a Taurus guy specifically ask me about it or would be just ignore it all until I bring it up?Posted by TheEmpressYou love "games" don't you?!

Are you a libra?
I'm thinking that if he doesn't specifically ask me, I'll apologize for the stupid prank and won't elaborate either because I would take him not asking about it as a sign that he's not interested. If he does specifically ask me about it or brings it up, I'll own up to it and tell him the truth. In order to do that though, I don't know if it's in a Taurus's nature to just ignore stuff like this, hence the question I just asked you.click to expand
Posted by CruellaWhitePranking people that far? What do you mean? Also, you don't know how old I am.
Dug your own grave there.
You are going to seem pretty childish pranking people that far at your age.
Leave it, do nothing he is leaving anyway it doesn't matter.
Posted by busyeyes88Virgo is very analytical and detail-oriented but it doesn't seem to bother Taurus too much, it's a minor fault if the Taurus truly likes the virgo. Speaking from experience.
Taurus energy and virgo energy are not that good a match....
Virgo is far too analytical and critical....
Well if a person has to give you that many hints and you still don't get the message then you are a hopeless case...
You can apologise if you want but I doubt it will make a difference or have any effect on the processing as he is leaving anyway...
Just don't do it in future.. It's not mature..

Posted by NevermoreActually, when I admitted that it was a prank, I only admitted that the quitting lab part was a prank but I didn't say anything about the crush part so I haven't even claimed that was a prank but if he assumed that, there wasn't too much I could do about it without explicitly admitting that the crush part was true. At least when I was talking to him, I was adamant on not telling him that I do indeed like him.
I mean.. telling your crush you had a crush and suddenly it was a prank? I wouldn't take that joke to well about it..
But not only that, it's for the rest of the human kind!
Posted by InstantkarmaWell, I have no idea if he's interested or not; it may not be zero interest but I don't see him crushing on me or anything.
Why do you think he's not interested?
The guy asked you few times if you have a crush on him, didn't he? That hardly means zero interest.
Anyways, whether he is quitting the job or not, you owe him an apology. Learn to offer an apology when you are on the wrong, it is a part of character building.
All the best
Posted by busyeyes88Well, in that case, I guess I just doubt myself a lot. I don't really know in this case. There's an incident that stood out to me: I'm the vice president for the business club on campus and we were hosting an event for the college and inviting some exemplary seniors to give advice to the underclassmen. My partner was #1 on the list of people to get to come but we know he's busy and somehow always seems to avoid public events. Since I work with him, I was given the task of asking him to come and I was nervous because I don't take rejection of any kind very well and I was almost sure that he would say no or hesitate at least. I stuttered my way through asking him if he would come as a guest of honor and he was so open about it, he said yes before I even finished asking. He just seemed very enthusiastic and I thought it was a little odd given his busy schedule and that he typically says no to stuff like this.Posted by InstantkarmaApologies are not in virgo rule book. As these people are never wrong!

Posted by busyeyes88Also, added on to the incident I just described: does that mean anything for a Taurus? Like, is that indicative of what his attitude towards me might have been before this whole fiasco? Is/could that be a sign that he likes me or at least thinks of me as a friend or something along those lines?Posted by InstantkarmaApologies are not in virgo rule book.
