Hey guys,
I'm not looking for any specific advice but it would feel good to talk about myself. To spark it off, I'll just tell you about my uneventful love life (I'm 16 but hey). I hope you are interested.
At time of this post, I've not yet even had a girlfriend, although of course I am interested in them, why else would I be here :D
Yeah so, for the 16 years of my life I've been really very shy with girls, but until like 6 months ago I have been realising how silly it is to be shy when I'm only a teenager. For example, I was scared to look into a girl's eyes because I thought it might seem like I was coming on to them :surprised Anyhow I'm quite improved now but still not getting it right.
About 2 months ago I *sort of* made my first move (ever!). I let out I liked this girl and basically my friend got her phone number, and convinced me to send her a text message telling her how I felt. I also asked her out to the cinema, which went *ok* I guess, but I we didn't talk much, but at least it was an opening. I tried to keep in contact with her over the school holiday, but once we got back to school, I don't know why, but I ended up being so shy with her that I didn't have a single conversation with her, at all! It was only texts that kept us talking, and I also asked her to go bowling, we went in a group of about 8. Next time I ask, she gives the sign that she just wants to be friends, because she "doesn't really know me".
Until about 2 weeks ago, there was still hardly any talk - big mistake, I admit it. One day, she texts me, can't remember exactly what it was but the next day for sure I was talking to her, and the talking has been much better, although not perfect until today. She showed signs (as far as I knew) that she liked me, spending breaktimes with our group instead of with her friends, and so on. However, today, one of my reliable female friends asked her how she felt about me, and the response was something along the lines of "sorry, I don't like him in that way. he's not my type".
Ah well, so that brings me to the present. I wish I'd have been more aware not to get my heart set on anything. I had strong instincts I was getting somewhere, but maybe I made too many mistakes along the way? After all, it was my first attempt. So, what do you guys think?
P.S, in case anyone doesn't understand the title, "Ma error" is what scientific calculators show when a result is impossible.
