Female Enboard members I need some advice....

[Darklance]

I posted this in a dreams thread but I thought I'd put it here to get more responses.

I rarely remember my dreams but this one I can't get rid of....

The night before I started school this year I had a dream of a girl looking at me in a classroom. We were all seated at desks. The teacher and everyone was blurry except her. She just stared into my eyes and I had this immense feeling of warmth and joy that I just can't describe. I remembered the dream when I woke up and felt kind of sad. It was a great dream.

I had forgotten about it by the time I had gotten to 3rd period. I was talking to my friend next to me and I looked up. Guess who had come sit at the exact angle that the girl from the dream had? Guess who the girl was? Yep. The girl from the Dream.

Katie by name. A very pretty girl who I just haven't been able to get out of my head since! I'd never seen her before but she'd been in my grade since Elementary school (I went checking year books)

I've managed to strike up a few conversations but it seems like some evil thing keeps getting between us. Every time we get past the first few sentences a person or event stops us from talking.

I really want to just break down and say

"Katie...I know this is really out of the blue ...but would you be interested in going out for some coffee or ice-cream or something after school today?"

But I'm to much of a coward when it comes to that sort of thing so I'm still trying to work up the courage.

Today...I saw some jock talking to her. I've got this horrible feeling (I'm not one for hunches normally) that If I don't act soon it'll be to late. But I've barley talked to her so I think she'll think that its really out of the blue and odd...

ARG....but I can't get her out of my head so I've got to do something!

So...any gals out there? Would you go on a date with an ok looking guy you've barley said two words to? Very weird? Its all well and good to say just go for it but its seems so unlike me...and what If I'm just liking the dream thing? Uggg....

Hey, I'm not a chick but you know... Nike was, and she always is saying "just do it".

"Katie...I know this is really out of the blue ...but would you be interested in going out for some coffee or ice-cream or something after school today?"

if you say it you might regret it....if you don't say it you WILL regret it.

'nuff said

Not of the fairer gender either, but let me tell you a story. I grew up with a very skittish attitude towards woman... always afraid to take the plunge, make that advance.

When I was in the navy, I met this sweet, pretty woman who worked at a place I frequented (the Cheyenne Saloon at Church Street Station in Orlando). She worked there for a long time, and we always had this nice, flirtatious little relationship.

She quit working there, and on the last night she was there we chatted for a little bit before she went home. I knew she liked me, and she told me where her new job was, but after that, I was never able to get ahold of her again.

I kicked myself for the longest time over not at least pushing a little to see if the relationship could go further.

The moral is this. I can see where you are coming from being ambivalent about such a decision. But don't let the chance slip through your fingers... don't tarry too long. You may regret if you turn her off... that's life. But I find that I regret the chances I missed because I delayed to long more than the few that I have scared away.

Everything else apart, what alsih20 said is (almost) objectively true.

I know how it feels being shy; just go and try it, even if it doesn't work it will be easier the following time.

I posted a reply under your original post, and I'll say it again.

ASK HER!

Not that I'm a brilliant role model for confidence with girls - but that's my advice. And tell us if she says OK.

So... How many of those who have posted here so far are females...? 0-1?

 

[Drawmack]

take it from an old man littered with regrets exactly like this one. You'll regret not asking much more then any reaction you might get from her. Go ahead and ask.

Keep praying for that day wen you wake up and realise you are able to cast first level spells.

Whatever you do, don't say "Katie, I had a dream about you last night." That'll seem a little freaky.

Save it for later when you need to seem sweet
