think I messed up, not sure what to do

[thesandman6]

So I met this girl at a mutual friend's party a few months ago. We ended up hitting it off, things were going good then she tells me she's bipolar just short of me going for her. It scared the crap out of me and I decided to just be friends with her and backed off. Jump forward to now and I'm really regretting that decision. She's stable, smart, funny, caring, and I'm seeing her now as the best girl I've met in years.

Now my problem is I feel like I messed up and missed the opportunity. I this all really hit me Saturday night when I was out with one her girlfriends who I have a slight interest in. I assume she has me in the friendzone as she's not so flirty with me anymore since I stopped showing interest but I have been spending a lot of time with her. I was planning on just kissing her and telling her I'm a fool last night but she ended up going out to dinner with this guy she knows but invited me to a bar afterwards. I bailed on the bar because I thought it was just a courtesy invite but she actually wanted me to go. I'm not sure what to do at this point, I feel like a dumb kid again over what I've gotten myself into. Any advice would be appreciated.

you should look up bipolar disorder and see if you can handle it coz its not easy. If you still want to go out with her-just ask her out

Ya I've looked into it. That and my experience with a couple bipolar people is what scared me off. What I'm realizing now is that I'd never know if she didn't say something about it compared to the bat shit crazy people I've encountered before. I've just never successfully done the friend to relationship thing before, I always got shot down so I'm worried.

but what have you got lose? all she can say is yes or no.

Well it's done, she was kind of short with me which is odd. She said something about she's sorry i discriminated her over something she has no control over and gave me the friends spiel, I told her I don't know how that's supposed to work with me falling for her. I think I hurt her by telling her I originally rejected her over it. Hopefully she changes her mind.
