Sari Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Hi, um, hard to decipher your message but if you like him but turned him down, then really it is your turn to ask him out for a drink I think. Good luck!
lofi_tokyo Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Aww openbook! This post is cute!! I totally went through the same emotions as you did with a guy I recently broke things off with. What you just described sounds like how I felt! I think you probably ARE making mountains of of mole hills... but thats alright right now because a) this is your first major interest since the break up - it feels pretty good, huh?! and b) when people really like someone, its really easy to worry about the first impression you make and the way things fold out. As for fear of rejection - I certainly had that, but it slowly turned into a fear of rejecting HIM (because we were not compatible). Dating that guy was a big step up in getting over my ex, huge in fact, because it made me face my fears, and made me realize life goes on. So! Do what you feel like doing. If you want to pursue this, do! If you don't want to, dont!
