Short and sweet...

[ACR]

Is coming out with everything and telling someone how you feel (pouring your heart on the floor-like) the smartest choice?

Because im sitting here, once again, pondering if that was the smart thing to do, again.

What happened the first time? It depends on your relationship with the person. If you barely know them, it'll probably scare them away. If you've been living with them for 20 years, that's different.

I approve of short and sweet.

But now I'll have to suggest you give us a bit more info.

Are you trying to transition from "friend" to "boyfriend"? If so, then yes, you need to be direct, even if it doesn't work out for you. At least you will have some clarity.

Well, im a guy, shes a girl.

We have known each other for 3-4 years maybe, and it came to the point where I just wanted to let her know how I felt, so I came out with it. All of it.

She never really said anything back.

[vashti]

... sounds like a no, then... I guess you will have to move on. I suggest you stop hanging around with her as friends. It usually only prolongs the mourning period.

Sorry.

[ACR]

Alright..thank you...


...It never is easy, is it?

[vashti]

Nope... girls are trouble. I should know since I am one. Sorry, my friend.

[King Zarathu]

Yeah, vashti is the worst of them....

I never would have thought. Ever.

Quote, email.

"you know what, i like your determination. so many guys just give up when i shoot them down, but you just keep going. thats admirable. keep it up, eventually you might win me over. might."

Just got that email today. I feel 10 times better.

[Junket]

Um...dude, I'm sorry, but that still doesn't look like a good sign.

Either she's attracted to you, or she isn't.

Notice her emphasis on "might".

She's giving you a false hope.

Girls aren't so good at bein' direct, that's most likely her way of sayin' "no".

Don't invest too much time on this one dude, I'm lookin' out for YOU here.

[King Zarathu]

Just forget about her.

Who are you trying to date? Angelina Jolie? IMO, you've got yourself nicely set up to be her bitch. Not that it's so bad. Some guys really like that.

Spilling your guts is like laying all of your cards on the table in a poker game. It's very earnest, but not much good for your game. In this situation, it may have been a mistake because she sounds like she's really into the game.

It wasn't a mistake to tell her you wanted to be with her, but I'm hearing you did more of an, "Oh my God, you are my queen and I worship you." kind of thing.

Is that kind of like what happened?

[ACR]

Not exactly.

I just told her how I felt..about how much I think of her, how much I want to be with her, and how I would do everything in my power to make her feel happy and safe.

She isnt the type to take advantage of people either...completely understanding, helpful, and most of all, smart.

I just want to be with her.

[Gigabitch]

Then it sounds like she gave you the green light anyway. What are you going to do next? Does she want tricks?
