"Make a move" means that if I were to tell her that I have a crush on her and eventually we got through, should I tell her that can I be her boyfriend?

Just curious how old are both of you?

My friend is 18 and me on the other hand is 17. Why?
 
Ask if she likes daggers. It'll either scare her away or she like violent movies.

Win win
I think she's a fast mover. I need to wiggle myself out of this.

When you're about to get intimate do the Spongebob "I'M REAAADAAYYYYY. I'm Ready I'm Ready I'm Ready I'm Ready I'm Ready I'm Ready I'm Ready "


She won't want to continue and you're good to go.
 
He must know what's up.

I'm fairly sure she dropped the class. I haven't seen her there in a few days.

We're only allowed three absences before we're dropped or something like that.

Whatever.

I've never dealt with anyone like her. Kind of strange.

Sweet keep going for the MILF
 
She always ask me things like

What are you doing today ?

What are your plans for tonight ?

I don't know if she just wants to talk to me or if she likes me ? If she wanted to do anything with me she would ask ?

Her : what are you doing today ?

Me : I'm going to go to this place today to do shopping.

Her : what are your plans for tonight ?

Me : I'm going to watch a movie or play PS3.

Find something the both of you can do and text her "Hey let's do xxxx on xxxx"

Unless you don't want to do anything with her.

...

You know what's up. It's so easy.

"I don't have anything planned. Would you like to go out to ______"

Her asking you that is giving you a blank space.
 
You could ask yes, but if you say "let's" or something along those lines instead of "would you like" makes you appear more confident without being cocky. Always a plus, and girls like a man with a plan.

Like @phillkillv2 said, she's practically begging at this point.
 
I have to think of something we can both do need some ideas.....
 
I like to stay away from things that will draw attention away from the both of you. Take movie dates for example... take a girl to a movie only to focus on something else for 1.5-2hrs? :crazy::dunce:
 
I'd recommend something relatively innocuous. Grab a cup of coffee or just a trip into town, something that isn't necessarily high pressure or forward like dinner or a movie (and as Cale pointed out, a movie doesn't make much sense).
 
Everyone around me keeps telling me stuff like "Once YOU have a girlfriend or a wife and kids in the future..." When I say everyone, I really do mean everyone. Friends, "friends", family... Hell, probably even a random homeless guy is gonna tell me that soon as well.

I mean... they are acting as if I'm doing something evil by not looking for a relationship. You'd think I've made it clear by now that I am not looking for anyone, I am not getting married and I am not, not, NOT!!! having kids in the future. I tend to just reply with a simple "Yeah right, look at me go", but they just won't stop nagging me and nod sarcastically just continuing with their generic family advice stuff. I keep making it clear that I don't want to have a girlfriend, let alone have a family in the future. I try to finish these "conversations" with 'damn, people, are you in for a disappointment... :rolleyes:'

Why the hell not just let me be and carry on, happy with your own life instead of trying to teach me a lesson on how should I carry on with mine? All this makes me think that maybe there's really something wrong with me although deep down I know I am not the one in the wrong.




...or am I, guys?

Just a friendly reminder, I am now 24. I still feel like people think I'm 8 at best.
 
I asked her to my place she said yes we didn't have any movie to agree on watching so we played NFL 12 (she likes the game) she win the second game 30 - 0 and we teased each other a bit I pretened to be bad with the game settings she found that funny everything went well.
 
@Madertus

There's this hostility towards bachelors and bachelorettes. I guess they're jealous, in a way. Deep down, they hate the fact that you have no responsibilities, in terms of family, etc.

Couples that understand true love want you to take your time, be you, and be happy, period. Couples that married early with what they thought was true love and now hate each other, will want you to rush things.

Other people feel like they're helping by giving you "solid advice".

You don't see that in your future yet, or never, and that is perfectly fine. Just shrug it off; I know it's easier said than done when everyone you know is hounding you and nagging you, but don't let it sit in your mind. There's nothing wrong with you.
 
@Madertus - Some people are just wired that way. Everybody's different, etc etc.

A few years ago, I had a talk with an older person who has done a great deal during her life. She went through a divorce while managing to juggle going back to school to become a nurse, raise two teenagers, and move to a new city, all in one year. She's since gone on to be quite successful in her field, and has fixed up her house largely on her own. I had recently ended a relationship, and we had talked about what most people do in their 20's: see the world, travel, start settling down. She was confused by me saying I'd happily do that all alone. Not that I'd prefer it, but I didn't measure my life's success on whether I had a partner or not. She told me she considered her life a failure because she wasn't remarried. It's hard to shake the values you've been raised with.

That's a pretty serious assumption.
 
Well after about a month of trying to get rid of my ex and everything, she kinda has been down and been talking to me and whatnot and then she started talking about her ex and how she misses him and blah blah (kinda stopped listening after that) now she just recently told me after giving some options is "try dating" and I don't exactly know if it was meant to me directly or her directly or "us" again.

So I am in limbo again and I don't exactly know what to do or anything. Either I get back together with her and then go from there and see how things go and by then might be in a better situation maybe?
I am like completely and utterly confused. :/ Help?
 
That's a pretty serious assumption.
Not really an assumption when it's based off of countless observations and personal experience. Granted, not EVERYONE is like this.
 
Today she didn't ask me "what are your plans for tonight ?".
 
Here's my predicament at the moment.

I forget when was the last time I posted here updating my situation and what exactly I said here, so here's a quick recap. I have strong feelings for a girl but I found out she's been going out with a friend.

As some of you may know I've moved away because of family reasons. Before I moved I went to the movies with her. First, we went to see the new mission impossible with her and a couple of friends from our math class (including her boyfriend). We walked around the mall afterwards. She said that we had to hang out one last time before i move when she had to go. Then we went to see the paper towns movie with her and one of her friends (I was the only guy in the theater lol). At that time I thought she knew I had at least some feelings for her. Before she had to go, we hugged and she promised that we'll text everyday and keep in touch etc.

After I moved here, we text like every few days. I see on social media she's hanging out with her boyfriend. I know I can't stop her from that. And I think she deserves him and they're great together. But obviously no matter what I'll be jealous because that's just how people are. School started here (weeks before there) and we talked a bit about school and stuff. Back in New Years, we talked about new years resolutions and she said that she wanted to be happy (cough foreshadowing cough). I asked her how that was going and we talked a bit. Then after a couple weeks school started there. We talked. Before we just to text everyday and as time goes on it starts to slow down, but that's normal and understandable.

One day, I decided that I should probably tell her how I feel about her. Considering I'm a thousand miles away, in a completely different region in the US and there'll be no almost no hope in seeing her in person again. So I said that before she went out with her boyfriend, I really liked her and if she wasn't going out with him, would I have had a chance. She said that she really liked me as a friend and that it would be plausible that she might have liked me rather than him. I was surprised she didn't know that I had feeling since I have asked her to go see a movie a two times before and-- now that I write this, it probably wasn't that obvious. We continue to text every so often but there's definitely an awkward atmosphere between us.

Then on my birthday she wished me a happy birthday and that was about it. As time goes on there's less things to talk about because of this physical separation. It's understandable and its inevitable. I had my mind set on just trying to give up and stop thinking about getting into a relationship.

We don't text for a couple days then out of the blue, she texts me the other day. She says she auctioned for the school's play (there's a play every term and she loves it and she was one is the most important actors last year) and that she thought she wasn't going to get a part. Me, with my heart before my brain, say that she'll do great and I'm 100% sure she'll get a part. Later that night she said that she didn't get a part and thanked me for believing in her.

Afterwards she asks me if she can talk to me about something. Obviously, my mind goes wild, what could it be? I say okay sure. She tells me how she's been feeling bad since last year (which is very surprising, because she is the most cheerful, happy, friendly, nice person I've ever met. She's literally friends with everyone) so me being me, I comfort her.

So now I'm thinking, what am I to her and where is this going? I'm 100% okay with being "friend zoned", whatever that means. Where do I want this to go? I mean it'll be great to be in a relationship with her but logistically, long distance isn't ideal and I'd hate for her to break up with her boyfriend. I've known him since elementary school; he's a great, intelligent guy. It'll be awkward for them in school. From my pessimistic point of view, this'll probably go no where and I'll just feel worse about things considering how my luck is. Ultimately, I want her to be happy.

I'm done venting. Wow that was long.
