Comrades, as requested, I have a status update:

I asked her out Friday after class. A simple lunch/book store opening/movie thing.

She said yes. I almost collapsed on the spot.

I leave to pick her up from the designated meeting place later this eve. Wish me luck.

 

[Hexadecimal]

Good luck, eaten.

And congrats!

 

[Tartarga]

ah you lucky bastard
ive never actually been in a real relationship before so i dont think i can help you here
all i can do is wish you good luck

 

[Aqualung]

Congratulations.

Be careful.

 

[Fritzvalt]

Make a move. Don't let her be the one that got away, that truely blows.

 

[Mozared]

I'm also afraid that, since she looks very much like a friend of mine, I might be using her as a proxy for said friend, who I had a crush on many years ago.

Keep in mind this might simply be because you like a specific type of girl, not because you seek 'replacement' for your old crush.

If I were you I'd try to go a bit further along with her verbaly; just make jokes that are closer to flirting than usual and see how she responds. No need to immediatly pour your heart out like some people seem to suggest. Being honest is a good idea, being extremely blunt isn't.

I have answered the OP's question in the Relationship Problem Thread, which is here:

If people actually want serious, genuine help instead of the usual "oh, chloroform" and "harden up" stuff, remember that my thread is there!

There is a girl in my class.

She sits beside me, and is quite pretty: slim figure, very well proportioned, a nice smile that kinda makes your heart flutter when she directs it in your direction, and that "hot librarian" look most guys would DIE for.

She talks to me quite a bit, which is odd, considering most people keep me at arm's length: I'm quiet, laconic and tend to be blunt with people. She has somehow managed to look beyond that, and will regularly make an effort to strike up a conversation with me, the quiet loner. She sometimes touches my hand, and there's a certain look in her eye that I've never seen her give anyone else.

I think, my friends, I might be in love.

Unfortunately, being of a rather thick nature, I can't tell if she's just overly friendly, or if she's really flirting with me and waiting for me to make that first move.

I'm also afraid that, since she looks very much like a friend of mine, I might be using her as a proxy for said friend, who I had a crush on many years ago.

Fellow Escapists, what should I do?

Punch her in the face, then snap her neck Sam Fisher style. Love is for girls and gays. If she wants to be with you it goes one of two ways: Either she has sex with you... or she has sex with you. [Whoever gets that reference gets some cookies. Or brownies. Your choice]
OT: Don't ask her out. Stalk her for a few years. And then, you ask her out, soon as your out of prison for stalking her....

I know that's Jon Lajoie (Show me your genitals I think...) Cookie please.

OT: What alot have people have said. Go for it.

You can't just go right up to her and say that you love her, but you definitely ask her out on a date. But what is the "Hot Librarian" look? I have never met a hot librarian, all I have around me is those stereotypical old lady ones.

Edit: "there is this girl in my class" that sounds like how all puppy love and heartbreaks start out. Its kinda of a cleashe(probably spelt wrong) i think.

Sometimes there's nothing wrong with clichées.

Only one 'e' in Clich'e.

Pardon me, I mixed it up with the Swedish plural form.

Ahh no worries, glad you were gracious about it, I get a lot of people take that kind of stuff the wrong way.

Not at all, thanks for correcting me.

Show me your genitals, your genitals, Show me your genitals, Your genitalia!

Heh, didn't expect that, did you? >
I didnt' expect anyone to get the joke xD

(First cookie. Yippee!) A fortune cookie? You are sneaky sir.

 

[DiamondJim]

Go and do something with her. A movie, whatever, just something friendly. Feel out the situation. If it's to your liking, tell her how you feel and that you'd like to take it further. And by the sounds of things so far, she's a keeper.

 

[person427]

He already asked the girl out. Why is everybody still giving him advice on how to ask her out? Anyway, good luck
