MashedPotatoes Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 So I've known this girl ever since we were in kindergarten. Our parents are also great friends as well. We went to the same school for years (up until 3rd grade) and saw each other occasionally at various events up until high school. We were never really CLOSE friends and if it weren't for our parents, we would've never seen each other. About 4-5 years ago she and her mom visited my parents' house while I was home from College for Thanksgiving break. I hadn't seen in her in years and I was utterly shocked when I saw her. She was always attractive, but up until then I never had romantic feelings towards her...man she is gorgeous. We talked for a few hours that night, played a game of Trivial Pursuit, and reminisced about the old days. After that night, I developed a HUGE crush over her and it took me close to a year to get completely over her. Just a couple months ago, my mom showed me a picture of the girl (with her mom) and all those old feelings, just came rushing back. I added her as a friend on Facebook and invited her to my house-warming party that I threw a couple weeks ago. She came and we ended up having a pretty good time. I was already pretty drunk by the time she showed up, but all my friends, who know I like this girl, told me I did just fine. She texted me the following day, thanking me for inviting her and that we should meet up with my sister so we can all catch up some more. So, my dilemma is...if she was any other girl I would've simply asked for her number at the party. But the fact that we go waaay back and our parents knowing each other..I don't know, I just didn't feel comfortable making my move. I need some advice people. I am absolutely head over heels for this girl. I thought I had rid of all those feelings from the past, but now, she is all I think about. Advice needed....thanks! We're both 27 yrs old btw
D-D Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 I'd take the chance, but that is just me. Do you know that she is single? You're not really "friends" from the sounds of it, so if she turns you down, it should be fairly easy to end contact with her. Plus, then you won't go on wondering for the rest of your life about what could have been with this girl. I realize it is a risk and you'll feel like crap if you get rejected, but I still think it is better in the end. If you are serious about her, I'd make your intentions clear soon. What about calling her and asking her out for a coffee (without your sister of course)? You can meet her and tell her how you feel.
Author MashedPotatoes Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 Yes, she is single. Anybody care to offer some more suggestions? Thanks.
JohnP82 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Just do it. I tried to get things going with an old friend that I got back into contact with a few weeks ago. I was going to her city to visit some other friends and sent her an email asking if she was free to meet up. I just got back from the city and still haven't heard from her. So atleast I have my answer. Do something so that you get that answer whether it's what you want or don't.
SincereOnlineGuy Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Yes, she is single. Anybody care to offer some more suggestions? Thanks. How many more suggestions do you need? - she wants you on at least some level, that much is clear for all to see.
