Never, ever put off asking a girl out for two years. When you finally do, you will learn that she used to like you but moved on. You won't be able to do the same. #LFMF

She probably moved on when she realized how slow you were. Either way, those situations are pretty stupid… she could’ve asked you as well. It really doesn’t take that much courage at all…
Real men make the first move.
That was back when women were expected to stay home and take care of children/cook. now that society has changed, anyone can make the first move.
THIS.
Of course, Jami is a Christer, and willing to enslave herself to the first man that’s desperate enough to sleep with her.
So…nobody?
Don’t bet on it. Maybe a very, very angry man will eventually find that very, very angry woman and together they’ll have very, very angry babies.
Actually, don’t involve babies. Get a pet hyena. A big female spotted hyena.
Then that angry family will actually look cute.
So you’re saying that’s not how it is anymore? I think ‘somebody’ should make a sammich.
Iunno, to this day I’ve only asked one girl out, and I’ve had many girlfriends.
Then again, I respect a woman whos balsy enough to put herself through the same emotional stress that guys are basically forced into.
Yeah, her fail as well. She could’ve asked you.
He may have been dating someone at the time as well, but we’ll never know.
Yeah, right.
Given the fact that it took him 2 years to say something, I doubt it.
I used to be the shy type, so I know how it is.
I’m not sure it’s her fail at all. Sounds like she wasn’t too broken up about it.
you can move on.
live and learn
Crush 40?
WOOHOO!
aww. i feel so bad! but yeah, she could have asked you out. it’s her fail.
smooth operator eh?
Yeah…
This happens a lot actually. People need to get the courage to go after what they want. Failing to try at all is just ensuring failure. While rejection hurts, you can move forward after being rejected. Not doing anything just leaves you in a state of limbo where you keep wondering “what if” while the door is left open for someone else to come in and ask the question you were afraid to.
This^
Naw, she needed to know you were interested. You like someone, speak up, let ‘em know. Courage and assurance are damn sexy. My inexperienced, now-spouse, got a lot of credit for just approaching me. And I have never been shy about telling a guy I liked him. I kissed to-be spouse first, but he asked me out first. It’s a dance, and you gotta learn to dance.
I like that learn to dance! My fiance and I are much like this. I was his first girl! Three years later we are getting married Februray! Learn the dance and don’t be to shy. Respectable and laid back ok but not shy.
How many people think this could be posted by a girl who knows a guy visits this site. She likes this guy and thinks he likes her, so she is trying to spur him to action with this parable?
That wouldn’t be as good as going and asking him herself though…
But maybe she’s shy, being shy happens, and that would be an adorably clever way to work with it.
Hey, I found teh love of my life at summer camp. It took us 12 years to finally get together, but now… ^_^
dylan??
What caught my eye was the can’t move on part. Dude you need therapy if you can’t move on.
awwwww….!!!!!!!!!
where’s the word “sammich”???
Yes Sammich is good Therapy!
It’s where ever you’re making one?
He didn’t say how long it has been.
this happened to me too but she and I were friends and I was trying to get her and her ex back together when I had one of those alicia silverstone in “clueless” moments where I realized I liked her but was in an awkward friend position so I never said anything.
You’re sure you’re not gay?
that sounds really nice…but from reading this, i want a sammich…….that sounds really good……anyone else want one?
Ooh, yum! BLT please luv
OMG I THINK I KNOW THIS GUY!!!! Was the girl’s name Morgan???
This same thing happened to me. The reason I didn’t ask him out was that my friend had already expressed interest in him and I decided I’d rather have her as a friend than him as a boyfriend. He finally told me how he felt after I announced my engagement, but by then it was too late. I love my husband more than I ever liked him, but still a small part of me wonders…
Guys, TELL HER HOW YOU FEEL! She may have her own dumb reasons why she’s not asking you out.
amen, this boy i was in love with a few years ago never showed me any interest so i moved on and i found out he was in love with me at the time and still is and i felt as if i couldn’t love him anymore bc he was so hard on himself..
Yup, same problem. I’m quite uhh, forward in my advances, and I asked my now-boyfriend out, but the friend was… so slow. He just didn’t get it. The fear stopped him, and that put me off, so I didn’t ask him out.
I couldn’t help but think what he would be like as a partner “but I thought you loved watching me play soccer video games?!” He’s currently still living at his parents house and calling them things like “so UNFAIR” and “dictator”, lucky break..
“I couldn’t help but think what he would be like as a partner”
Really?
“He’s currently still living at his parents house and calling them things like “so UNFAIR” and “dictator””
Somehow I think you already know
Don’t let it happen next time. This is worse than if she had said no 2 years ago right?
ok one BLT, anyone else? Lovestruck, do u need a happy sammich? it makes everyone have happy
why does it take 12-15 hours to “moderate”?
Because I don’t work 24 hours a day.
Three times, Andy? (yes, the email notifications work)
Not so handy indeed
I’m scared of this happening to me, I like a guy, and I’m terrified to tell him because I fear if he doesn’t feel the same things will just get really awkward between us, and we won’t even be friends anymore. But I’m also scared he does feel the same and if I don’t tell him… this will happen.
(lolololifeellikesuchadork)
Honesty shouldn’t lead to awkwardness (is that a word?) and even if it does, a real friendship should survive that. If he doesn’t feel the same way and it costs you your friendship, you might wanna ask yourself if it was that strong to begin with. Plus, at least you’ll know, and be able to move on.
What you really don’t want is asking yourself “what if?” for god knows how long.
My advice: ask. For all you know, he’s thinking and feeling the same, and it could turn out to become something beautiful
What Reemz said — GO FOR IT!
personally I prefer to be the one asked (kindda like it better that way).. I’m rather thin-skinned which is why I’ve never asked a guy out even though there’s all these guys I’ll never know what could have happened if I did ask.. so many missed opportunities ;o but after having a really lousy streak when it comes to relationships, I rather just wait my life out rather than trying to pursue a relationship because it’d just end in disaster (I make the mistake of rushing into ‘em before I even be a friend)..
anywho, hope things will turn out better in the future for you
lovestruck, think of it this way, it shows you feel for her. and that’s really hot! When two people go out, they should both have strong feelings, not “meh, lets get laid” that’s what dating is for is to be passionate
you’re gonna be a good man to a girl someday
i wonder if lovestruck is even reading any of this…
the friend zone
keep telling yourself that it is better than nothing
