tweetej Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 [font=courier new][/font][color=darkblue][/color]So let me start off with telling a bit about myself since this is my first time here. I am 23 yrs old and have been separated ( basically divorced) from my husband for a year now. I was with him since I was 15 and married when I was 17. So I am no good at this stuff. In the past year I have only "dated" one person and it was only like a month. We met online so that was easy. Any way there is this guy at school that I like. He is an aquaintence (not sure of the spelling) of my best friend. She had a class with him last semester and one this semester. So, we passed him in the hall the other day and they began talking. During the conversation she kinda introduced us (just a little "this is my friend Jennifer") She said it very clear but he looked right at me and said "what was your name again?" So I told him. I am so shy and she says he is too so that was all that was said between us. Any way after we walked away she told me that was the longest they had ever talked in passing. She also said that the whole time he was looking right at me. I am so shy I was looking at my friend the whole time. So any way I am interested in him and I kinda feel he may be in me too. ( Of course this is based on looks since we dont know each other). My question is what do you do in a situation like this? In my mind the easiest way would be to have my friend hook us up. But she had a family emergency and has temp. moved to another city. So what do I do? Should I approach him and if so what in the world do I say? Or should I just wait for him? Please help. I dont want to miss the opportunity to at least get to know him.
Fofinha Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 Go for it girl. You only live once. I would just walk up to him and ask him out! If that is too much for you to handle, maybe a note in his locker. The worst thing he can say is "no" and it will be HIS loss. It's better to go for it than to regret not having done anything about it!
Author tweetej Posted March 10, 2004 Author Posted March 10, 2004 Thanks for your reply Fofinha. There is no way I could ever just approach him and ask Im way too shy for that. We don't have lockers at school its just a small community college. But the thought did cross my mind to leave him a note on his vehicle. But I don't want to be creepy or freak him out. I saw him today (I hardly ever see him) and I smiled at him real big. He looked away real quick. Then when I was walking back up the hallway towards him he watched me the whole way. I don't know I feel like he may be interested and may just feel shy too or not know what to say. But again I am no good at this stuff. Thanks again and let me know your opinion on the note on car idea.
dlb311 Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 First you were so young why did you get married? were you pregnant? or needed to get out of the house. Plus most guys are scared of marriage. But you go girl... I am just sad to hear it didn't work out. Anyway about this new guy you two seem shy so ask your friend that knows you both. ASk her to ask him next time she seems him what he thinks of you? Then you can give her the go to give you number out or she can just report back and maybe he will make a move..... I think you should try to talk to him just be friendly not like you want to jump his bones but like you have meet him so you are just saying hi.... good luck
End of my rope Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 The next time you see him go up to him and start some casual conversation. You have one thing in common...a mutual friend. Use her as a catalyst for your convo. Then go from there. Find out what else ya'll have in common and just try to laugh and have fun talking to him about common interest. It won't take long before ya'll are comfortable around one another and one of you goes out on a limb and suggest lunch or just some coffee.
