moodyskydiver 0 #1 November 4, 2003 This is very silly so please just roll your eyes and bear with me...just venting. Ok heres the deal.I love sitting in the courtyard at school between classes.On one particularly nice day a few weeks ago,I noticed a guy sitting there that just took my breath away.Hes prob 30ish, gorgeous shoulder length hair he keeps in a ponytail and has the most awesome smile that makes his eyes twinkle.Its not just his physical appearance, he just has this air about him that is so..well...beautiful.He reminds me alot of another guy I know whos awesome too that I met through DZ.com..but no I'm not telling who.I'm kinda smitten by this guy, but I don't even know his name! A few friends of mine hang out in his little group and as we all sat talking about the up-coming wedding of one girl she asked him if he were attending,but since this is a traditional Scottish/Irish wedding he'd have to wear a kilt.Of course I,being in a pretty playful/mischievous mood blurt out" well if hes going in a kilt I'm crashing the party!" and of course he hears it and blushes.(doh!)For the rest of the time before class I catch a few sheepish glances coming from his direction.I haven't really been around him since. So today he walks by while I'm sitting with a few friends and again mention that I really like this guy (stupid since I know nothing about him). They also know him and decided they are going to tell him about me/that I like him as soon as I leave for class.I haven't seen him nor them since then.Yipes! Help! I feel like such an idiot.This is so childish,schoolgirlish.I should just go up and talk to him myself.Why won't my feet move towards his general direction?I'm usually not shy at all (ask anyone from WFFC..LOL).I'm not shy and think of myself as pretty social/out-going..so whats the deal with this one guy? I haven't really done the whole dating/courtship dance since my fiance left me last year.I've had a few casual dates,a few romantic interests,but nothing serious.Anyone have any motivational words of wisdom for me?or "get your butt up off that bench and go talk to him" vibes? Any input would be of great comfort.Yeah,I know,this was stupid and silly.I'll go sit in the corner and blush now. "...just an earthbound misfit, I."

Brian425 0 #2 November 4, 2003 Just relax and talk with him when you have the chance. If it's right it will happen; if not, you are probably better off. Here are {{{{VIBES}}} to get you going. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #3 November 4, 2003 Hey what is done is done.. whether you did it sub-consicously or not.. at this point sit back... see what happens.. if he makes the next move.. its all good. Go with your feelings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gawain 0 #4 November 4, 2003 No no no no no...it's not time to blush. First: Talking usually helps. Like offering a salutation, "Hi." Then you can blush... Sounds like puppy love... So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

moodyskydiver 0 #8 November 5, 2003 hehe well...I would loooove to get ahold of that gorgeous long hair of his.purrr!!!! In my own defense,I have slowly started hanging out nearer to his general vicinity and talking to some of the same people hes around.Its tough getting back in this whole romance thing.The last one totally blew up in my face and I lost a good friend in the process.I don't want to repeat that.Baby steps...just baby steps.

Keith 0 #21 November 5, 2003 He sounds pretty cute. All I can say is you better ask him out or I'm flying to Texas and I'LL ask him out Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J. Mandeville Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
batbex 0 #22 November 5, 2003 This may sound weird, I know the fear and the butterflies and the trauma are bad - but are they not also good? the suspense and adrenalin rush inherent in your situation - could be equated with the nerves before a first skydive - ok so I may be pushing it, but its a form of emotional masochism - go up to him, talk to him, ask him out - yes it is easier said than done, but believe me I'm pretty anti emotion and commitment and generally believe men are shit, but every now and again I'm completely demeaned by going all girly and pathetic over some guy, if you can face asking them out - they've always said yes so far Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riddler 0 #23 November 5, 2003 Don't be coy. If you like him go up and talk to him. Most guys would love a cute girl to just walk up to them and start flirting. I know I would. Someday, I'll take my own advice ...Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moodyskydiver 0 #24 November 5, 2003 Oh My f'ing god! HE KNOWS!!!! Like I said in my first post, I told some friends that I was so enamored with this guy and "hes just so beautiful that I just want to run up and play with his hair". Well apparently he heard me when he walked by!!! When my friends tried to tell him, he said he already knew and from the impression they got/what he said to them/they told me is that hes flattered,thinks its cute and as for the playing with the hair he said "I might just have to let her do that sometime."Yes!Yes!Yes! Now what do I do? I'm so embarassed that I just want to hide!But he wasn't offended,so thats a plus and he didn't seem real adverse to the situation.But I've had guys say they were flattered before just trying to be nice and not hurt my feelings..so thats not necessarily a sign of interest.Jeez! I was more calm on my first jump than I am now.Every day I hang out in his circle of friends more and more just making myself more approachable/accessable (god that sounds cheap) but I just don't have the nerve to do anything about this.I shouldn't be getting mixed up with romantic hassles when I'm finally getting my life in order and trying to trasnfer to a dif college next yr.

Keith 0 #25 November 5, 2003 EGADS Woman. Be honest with him. Apologize for acting like a school girl and tell him that you're so attracted to him that you're nervous around him - that's very flattering by the way. If you don't move on this you're going to kick yourself in the head and wonder what could have been. Go For It. Besides, the worst that can happen is you've made a new friend.Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J. Mandeville Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
