Hi, I'm new to the forum.
Here's the story:
There's a beautiful girl who I met about 1 year ago and have wanted to go out with, but did not, except for a cup of coffee once. I did ask her out twice, but she gave me mixed signals in her replies (she said yes, but she's busy and will let me know...but she never got back to me). So I took it as a rejection and did not ask again. But we continued to be friendly...and I continued to be attracted to her. And I felt all along that she likes me too (I could see it in her eyes).
A few weeks ago, to everyone's surprise (in our social circle), she suddenly announces on Facebook that she's engaged!! I was devastated and shocked. I went through several days of depression - poor appetite and insomnia - and beating myself up for not trying harder to get a date. I and others were totally surprised for 2 reasons: 1. she kept it a secret from everybody, didn't even say she was seeing someone; 2. she never seemed like the type to get married and settle down (happily single, goes on dates but AFAIK has never had a relationship (until now)) (this is also part of the reason I wasn't more aggressive in trying to date her).
Anyway, about the crazy thing I want to do... I could just pray the engagement breaks off, but I don't think it's likely. So what I want to do is ask her out on a date. I'd tell her that I've liked her since we met, and for whatever reason, we never dated. I'd say I know you're engaged, but it's not as if you're married yet, and I think you should consider me.
Am I crazy? Has this ever been done? Please help.
