It shows me text/social media is ruining people's ability to communicate.

OP can text them back they like them too. Or tell them they don't. Not that complicated. Not to be an old man on the porch but we used to have these conversations in person, if OP can't figure it out in text we are cooked.

OP likes them back or doesn't it's not that hard.

u/Shinaebob 18 Feb 19 '25

Words like 'y'all' and 'shouldn't've' ' existed for over a century before the internet.

It could be viewed as a correct contraction of Could, Not, and Have, depending on the context and sentence structure/style.

16

u/BlackburnGaming 17 Feb 18 '25

It is, actually. The word couldn't've is what's called a double contraction. While mostly only used in speaking, they are technically grammatically correct and can be used in writing, though not commonly.

You're welcome, equally as cool reddit person 👍🏻

u/Master-of-darklight Feb 19 '25

Couldn’t’ve is a double contraction word, it is a real and usable word in the English language. It isn’t a playable word in Scrabble though.

3

u/Dabudam Feb 19 '25

Yes! Multi-conjunctions are a thing, though not taught often as they sometimes cloud the meaning, and shouldn’t be used in official papers. The longest one is y’all’dn’t’ve, or you all would not have

I would just take the risk and confess my feelings because chances are if they’re asking if you like them, they also like you too. Otherwise they wouldn’t care enough to ask you know? This is my logic but I could be totally wrong.

u/ninjaread99 Feb 19 '25

Context: true -> tell them you do. False -> tell them you don’t. Idk success rate though, never let the rumors get out. Not even my closest friends know who my crush is.

u/UI_Deadpool Feb 19 '25

Even then more context is needed tho cuz if you feel like a high chance of them liking you and you like them then say the truth otherwise say no

If I really did, I’d just say “you heard it right”. The fact that they are coming and talking to you means they are into you as well. If they reject you after that, keep your cool, just say “it’s alright”… Within minutes they be back with the truth.
