Yeh sounds like he likes you While you watched the movie did he by any chance glance over at you alot? I did that alot when I took my girlfriend out to the movies xD Might be just me being creepy though.... lols
I'm not sure if was looking at me a lot, but we did talk a lot (it was quiet...but I do feel kind of bad for the people near us...) and near the end he did put his arm around me
He definitely likes you, twin! And you're awesome, and everyone thinks so, so he's obviously going to think so. I'm happy for you -- it sounds like it's going really well.
I've read the last couple pages, and I'm beginning to formulate a plan. There's this girl in my creative writing class at school, and she is absolutely brilliant. I'd have to say that, collectively, the two of us probably have more talent than the rest of the class, though that could just be my ego talking. So what I'm planning to do is just go up to her at some point and say something along the lines of "Hey, I'd like to get to know you better, would you like to talk over lunch or something?" If it's relevant, I'm a bit overweight and she's kind of average looking. If anybody's got any advice that would be much appreciated.
I think that sounds like a good plan. You never know unless you ask, and it's not like you're walking up to her and proposing...going out to lunch is casual, a good way to get to know someone better.
I also think thats a good plan. The only thing I might say is maybe to talk to her a bit first just in general so that you have a more a foundation, but I think either way is still a good plan
Good idea but keep it low pressure. Friendly vibe. Also if it were me, I would just go up to her and assume that she wants to get to know me too. Don't ask her tentatively as if you expect her to say no. I'd say something like, "Hey I'm gonna go grab some lunch. You should come with me." Not like it really matters the words that come out of your mouth. The point is the attitude. Assume that she wants to get to know you too -- not that she's doing you a favour if she says yes.
I love the way Americans in particular can just walk up to someone that they like and up front ask them out. In the UK a girl would probably be creeped out by this lol. Good luck with that though!
In a sense that's a good point, LaGs. If you're too forward in North America you can also creep a girl out. That stigma isn't exclusive to the UK. Honestly though -- you only live once. Approaching a girl with a respectful, friendly attitude is never doing anyone any harm, and there's every possibility she'll be happy about it. If not then oh well, that's her problem.
Why on earth would that be relevant?? This part of your post really confused me. I hope by "average" you just meant in relation to weight, 'cause I'd hate to be called "average" by anyone, let alone someone I was dating. It'd certainly get a big "no" out of me pretty quickly. She can't possibly seem average if you're interested in her, unless it was a convenience thing...Which I hope it isn't. You kinda made it sound like you're going for her because you think she'll say yes, like she's less of a challenge. Maybe I misunderstood.
@Ashleigh -- Haha, yeah I missed that part. That's kinda weird. Still -- isn't it kinda cool that he's into her for her brains? The lady makes a good point though, C -- don't tell her you think she's average. Haha. Don't tell us either. Keep that one under your hat.
Yes, that's the one. Just to say though, I'd rather fall in love with somebody who's really ugly but has a lovely personality than the meanest, nastiest, most beautiful person in the world.
In case anyone is still interested in my boy situation, here goes. If you're not then feel free to not keep reading lol. We went to lunch today and again he paid for me Then we went to his house and watched a movie, and he had his arm around me, and we were talking and bantering a lot and it was really nice. Then when i had to go (even though i didn't want to) he wouldn't let me. He kept holding me against him so i couldn't get up, though it's not like I was trying lol. And when I finally did get up to go he walked me to the car and gave me a really long hug and we decided to go to a school show again tomorrow. Suffice it to say I am very happy right now
@yellowm&M -- DUHHH he wants to kiss you. What are you waiting for you ninny? Haha, ok I get it. Playing it coy. Good on you. Well don't be too coy or he might think you're not interested. @Contacaton -- I hear you. I'd rather have both though. Beautiful and lovely. Anyway, I get what you mean. Chick you dig isn't a 10. Whatever. That just means she's not going to be a spoiled brat and you'll have an easier time connecting with her on a personal level. Cool man. Go for it. Make friends with her first though. Don't be all like "oh I love you bla bla bla." That's stupid. Hopefully you still find her attractive. I'm sure you do. If you don't then I don't know why you'd bother in the first place. But if that's the case, definitely don't let her know you think she's an uggo.
You should mention to him in conversation that you've never kissed anyone in the rain and always wanted to...ideally, the next time he walks you to your car, it will be raining... Just kidding. But seriously, super cute. I'm so happy for you!
@ Sidewinder: She's not especially beautiful, but also hesitate to call her ugly, whatever company I'm keeping. Besides, as I believe I've already stated, inner beauty is much more important to me. I do love hearts and lungs
Ok so I'm in need of some advice. This is still related to my continuing boy story. For a recap, basically I really like this friend of mine and we went to go see a movie together and it ended up being a lot like a date. Before and after the movie we've been texting/talking everyday quite a bit. The weekend after the movie he ended up showing up at relay for life (which I was participating in) and stayed all day hanging out with us. During the really emotional luminaria he stayed with me and held me and wouldn't leave until he was sure I would be ok. Then this last wednesday we went out to lunch watched movie at his house-a lot like another date. Then last night we went to a school drama show and again he had his arm around me the whole time and was super sweet. This hasn't been something either of us have really talked about with other people, but it's getting to the point that enough people are seeing us together and stuff that more and more of my friends are noticing and giving me that knowing look and so on. Basically it's not so unknown anymore. Now this is where I need advice, I'm pretty sure at this point that I can assume we both like each other. I'm really happy and things are really nice and it's only been a week, but I'd like things to move forward a bit more. We're definately out of the "just friends" zone, but we aren't really in the "dating zone" either. And I don't quite know how to get there, all I know is we're really close. I don't need some big announcement, but it's be nice to have something somewhat officialish. Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy with everything right now, but I'd like advice on how to get that one tiny shove to push us more into the "dating zone". Advice would be welcome...assuming this makes any sense lol
kiss him!!!!!!! It could even be a peck on the cheek if you'd prefer, but by golly shy boys are cute but so darn shy! If he hasn't tried by now, its definitely your turn. After that, the talking part will be easier- cuz youve already taken the real step! If I were in your shoes I would say something like "Alright, we're a couple now, thats cool with you right?" Some type of light hearted cute joke that still makes a point would help to ease the tension and show him that you SILL consider him as a friend too.
Agreed with the above poster! This guy probably REALLY badly wants to kiss you but is way to shy to initiate it. If I were you and seeing as you like him you should just initiate it yourself. Man being a shy guy sucks It's cute when a girls shy Wish I wasn't so shy!
Sexual tension is awesome. This is the fun part. There's sense to letting him take the lead. I know it might sound archaic, and it's really just my opinion, but I do think that there's something to it. Anyway sounds like he's a bit shy so a bit of encouragement wouldn't hurt. He's probably talking to his friends about you, trying to figure out when and where to make out with you. (Er . . . I mean . . . I'm sure he's a perfect gentleman.) You might not want to make out with him right away, but I'm sure he'd be happy with a kiss. Anyway, the way it happens is if you get alone somewhere nice and romantic and just enjoy your time with him. Unless he's totally shy, he's probably trying to orchestrate something like that. He just might not be very good at it. Be receptive to the idea of being alone with him. Feel the butterflies in your stomach. Be a bit awkward. Just let it happen. It's natural and people have been doing it since . . . well, forever I guess. If you want something official -- well at least get the kiss first. Don't ruin the magic by setting the terms. You can have the conversation after. Let us know when it happens!!!
