MarcoInaros Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 There was a pretty girl who used to come into my work, and I chatted with her. She was 20 years old (I'm 26) , and was French but moved to America with her parents. I really liked talking to her and I liked her. I invited her to join me for my lunch break so that we could talk more. We met and then she told me something that shocked me - that she was unable to go to school or work due to some medical problem. She wouldn't be cured for at least half a year - until that time she was basically housebound. When I talked to her further I did notice that she was very pale and a little sick looking. I felt so sorry for her. We left on a happy note and I got her phone number, but I haven't called because I feel utterly conflicted about what to do. What would you guys do, if someone you liked had some medical condition like this, that made them almost housebound and ill most of the time?
whichwayisup Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 Did she tell you what the actual illness is? I say if you like her, go for it. Don't let a temporary illness get in the way. And, I'm sure she will be happy hearing from you. Going through whatever it is she is going to be dealing with, and being at home so much IS going to make her feel down and depressed. Reach out to her, be a friend. Maybe in time things will develope between you two.

At this point it would be weird to call her I guess. Maybe she's cured by now, who knows. I was just reminiscing about this and how ****ty I still feel about it. An opprotunity come and gone, but maybe there wasn't one in the first place.

Just talk to her as a friend and see where it goes from there. If you do happen to hook up with this girl just make sure see doesn't still have any thing that could be life threating that you could catch. Good luck if you do decide to call her.
