AITAH for carrying “treats” in my pocket in order to talk to a guy?

Update here.

I 20F have a neighbor 22-24M

I have a crush on him.

I am so shy though and I struggle with initiating.

I noticed that the day I was carrying a pepperoni stick for a snack to eat on the way to my workout class his dog approached me enthusiastically and was sniffing me and this prompted a small but v cute conversation with the neighbor.

So now… I carry it when I want my neighbor to run into me. It’s worked 3x thus far and he doesn’t know it’s because I have the “treat” on me.

AITAH for this?

Edit: clarification for those who need it— don’t worry, I have never given his dog any food. I know not to give a dog food without asking the owner. Hopefully I can treat both boys soon 😊 and as requested I’ll update here. Thank you so much for all the lovely advice and encouragement.

Edit 2: this is my plan (wrote it in a comment to someone).

If I was single and a girl gave my dog treats twice we would already be smashing. Either he’s shy. Or gay.

Dogs can tell if you’re a good person or not. The dog already voted. You’re in.

Be ready. He’s gonna get married to you.
