seems im not the only lovestruck soul seeking advice tonight...
Edited on Sun Mar-07-04 01:24 AM by LastKnight
well, keeping with the theme tonight...

thiers this girl in one of my classes... i really like her and weve been kinda flirting for awhile, last few days its really picked up, as has my interest in her. only problem is, a mutual friend of ours also has a bit of an eye for me... but i dont have any feelings for her, and i know that shes a pretty sensative person. thus my dilemma, i dont want any feelings to be hurt.

so, how can i ask this girl out without hurting her friend's feelings? seems like a weird problem, i know, but still im not sure what to do, i really dont wanna hurt this other persons feelings, but i dont wanna pass this up either.

another problem is im gonna be going away to college next year and shes one year behind me, but ive heard of cases of it working... so thats not my primary concearn.

2. Go for it.

as for your friend, she has an eye on you no matter what, and you don't no matter what, so it's inevitable that it's probably going to come down to the moment when you reject her & that may as well be now for a good reason rather than later and miss this opportunity. you're not responsible for how she feels & hopefully you can still be friends but high school tends to be high drama.

PS: Can I steal your Rage avi after my primary?

6. you're not responsible for anyone else's feelings
You just have to let the chips fall where they may while being as gracious as humanly possible, IMO.

8. "The girlfriend back home" scenario does NOT work..
Dating is ALL ABOUT hurt feelings...until you are dating the "right person" (even then there are bumps in the road..)

If you have a crush on someone go for it, regardless of how your platonic friend feels.. If you have no intention of asking HER out, she needs to know it so that she does not think you are attainable..

The relationshiop with the object of your crush may not even last a year, so don't project.. Just date and have fun..

You are too young to realize this, but the people you are "crazy about" now, will most likely NOT be the ones you are even attracted to in a few years.. The secret here is to keep it casual..and to remember that a moment of "recklessness" can result in your whole life changing , and not for the better..:)
(Sorry.. it's the MOM in me speaking there)
