Well, if you are facing a crisis of that sort, then "Our Dating Sim" might help resolve it.

"Our Dating Sim" is a BL Korean web drama that can make us feel all sorts of butterflies. It tells the story of Lee  Wan (Lee Jong-hyuk-II) and Sin Gi-tae (Lee Seung-gyu-I), who were best friends in high school but things collapse on the day of graduation, when Lee  Wan confesses his feelings. Now, years later, they reunite to create a dating stimulation game.

Lee  Wan went missing after the incident and Gi-tae was left rethinking about their relationship. It's interesting to see how the first narrative was by Lee  Wan. It was a reunion with his first love. Only for him. But the moment he stepped into the elevator, viewers got a glimpse of Gi-tae's eyes. They were filled with tears. Gi-tae had realized his true feelings for Wan and now was determined to win him back. So perhaps, the question above can only be answered by him.

What to do if you meet your high school crush again?

First and foremost, we try to find our crush on social media and then give them our utmost support- anonymously. Gi-tae finds out that Lee  Wan has started a blog and supports it- but under a disguise. He keeps his user name Game Boy and, despite knowing and appreciating Game Boy, Lee  Wan could never imagine who it really was.Second step is to recommend your crush to your CEO. Luckily, Gi-tae was a game planner and Lee  Wan was an artist. When the company wanted an illustrator for the game, Gi-tae stepped up and suggested Lee  Wan. And like that, he could now get closer to him, rather than admiring him from afar!

 

The third step, and the most crucial one, is to begin persuading them. Gi-tae didn't hesitate a bit to hide his feelings. He made sure to clarify the misunderstanding of the past and confess his feelings. Lee  Wan was a bit hesitant by the revelation. Even so, he was the first one to like Gi-tae. This did not let Gi-tae down and he did everything to make his heart flutter. Like wiping his mouth or following him around like a puppy!

Fourth and the last step is to ask them out! If you still have feelings for your crush, then spend no time hesitating and just confess! Especially, if you were unable to back then. Gi-tae came in bold and confident, even when the answer on the other side was unclear. He confessed when Lee  Wan confronted him. Later, after their company dinner, Gi-tae went in and kissed Lee  Wan. Though he felt embarrassed later and pretended to fall asleep. Yet, the other day, he did not pretend to forget about the incident and asked Lee  Wan to date him.

One may wonder about the end of it all. Did Gi-tae succeed? Well, yes he did!
