blue17 Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 I was just thinkin back about this girl I used to like, but nothing really ever materialized like i wanted. Anywho....we didn't really know each other 5 years of high school, but we started to hang out in school during our breaks/during class over the last semester. She made the first effort to be friends inside school (broke the ice cuz we didn't know each other), and for some reason I was never interested in her until we started spending time around her. So fast forward to a couple months from then (same kind of routine of us hanging out had been goin on)....and the school day is over. She's putting her stuff away at her locker, and she asks: her: "blue17, do you wanna walk me home?" me: "sure." her: "really?!?" (excited tone) me: "ya....i'll just walk to your house 15 minutes then turn around and walk 30 minutes back to mine . hehe i can't actually I live the opposite direction." her: "oh too bad" (can't really remember exactly what she said to tell you the truth) Keep in mind i was a big rookie at this time (even moreso than now ) and we hadn't hung out outside of school. Was this sort of an attempt for her to expand the relationship to something more? I mean I would of gladly walked with her if I lived in the same direction, but going the opposite way to walk her home is a little extreme and desperate imo. However, if she would've said "do you wanna come over?" or something...then that's a different story . Anywho did i really miss an opportunity there or...?
lissab113 Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 So how long ago was this? If you're not in high school anymore i would just chalk this up to another one of those things. If you are and you still could have a shot, just go for it! Women love men who go after what they want. If you misread the signals and it doesn't work, try again what have you got to lose? Good luck!
Naive Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 If this was a while back...........YEAH you lost an opportunity.
blue17 Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 ya it was a while back unfortunately :/ We actually go to the same college now, but I rarely see her. I'll talk to her and see if i get any sort of vibe or whatever (which I doubt). I don't know why i still have bottled feelings for her, i've met other girls at college (nothing serious) but for some reason i can't get her out of my head. but hey you win some you lose some, the worst thing that happened is i gained experience from the situation. next time a girl asks me to walk her to her house/car/whatever i won't pass it up thx for your help guys. (or girls I should say )
whichwayisup Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 Yup, my friend, you missed the boat, window of opportunity there on that one! I am sure there are more boats coming your way so just keep on looking!
blue17 Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 well anyways things have been kind of awkward between us the last while (it's a long story) so i tried talking to her today. she was talking w/ a girl friend of hers at a small table, and this guy friend of mine was studying at a small table right next to the two girls. He was talking with them in-between studying, and I came in after my class finished early. I sit down at the table w/ my friend, and i didn't even notice the girl i liked/still have feelings for is at the table right beside me till i sat down. I almost froze/panicked for a second, but i just smiled and said "how's it going (her name)?" At the exact same time, her friend said something to her (bad luck)...so either she didn't hear what I said, or heard it but chose 'not to hear it' if you know what I mean. Anyways, they were talking about someone I didn't know so I couldn't join in the conversation. I didn't directly speak to her while she had full attention and was facing me, but i just got the impression she was pretending i didn't exist or something. I felt really bad because things used to be really great between us and now it's disolved into this. Even if I don't get anywhere in terms of a relationship (which won't happen) i hope we can atleast acknowledge that we exist, and not feel uncomfortable. Maybe i need to find her alone (which is also hard to do) and talk to her 1 on 1 so she is forced to respond to me. I guess I just want the conflict resolved to tie up all the loose ends so I can move on with my life. The bad thing is, this girl seems to get hotter and hotter, or it seems that way to me atleast. Like at the start of last year i didn't even notice her.....she was just 'there' if you know what i mean. Halfway through last year I hadn't seen her in like 4 months before, and i was shocked at how good she looked. Now I looked at her today and i want her more than ever. I guess because now that she is ignoring me, she's more of a 'challenge' so i want what i can't have. I was never really super interested until she started pretending i didn't exist. This really sucks because I want to forget about her and move on, not keep dwelling on her.
