Dear Escapists,

[eatenbyagrue]

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?

 

[Armored Prayer]

Talk to her, and tell her how you fell about her.

 

[open trap]

wait for the right moment and then ask here out, simple as that

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

Ask her out. Make sure to state that it's nothing too serious, just hanging out, then see where it goes from there.

 

[Baby Tea]

Ask her out, make sure to state that it's nothing, just hanging out, then see where it goes from there.

This is the best advice so far.

Don't be dropping the L-bomb any time soon. Especially since you don't really seem to know her that well.

Aak her out some where fun and casual, and see what happens.

 

[Fairee]

I'd suggest going for it, tell her how you feel. However, a word of warning. As the one asking, if she says no then you'll feel totally crushed and humiliated and you'll find it awkward trying to talk to her. It depends whether you think she'll actually say yes and if you really wanna risk the friendship...

Ask her out, make sure to state that it's nothing, just hanging out, then see where it goes from there.

Agreed, when you finally leave there is the moment were you two either hug as friends or kiss and you know there is probably something there. Of course that moment is hard to comprehend because your guessing what she wants. Don't force it to much after the fact and don't get angry if she turns you down.

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.

 

[A Pious Cultist]

She sometimes touches my find?

Your what now?

 

[Soxafloppin]

Ask her if she wants to go somewhere with you, if she says no then stop there, if she says yes then see how it goes.

 

[JanatUrlich]

Duuude make a move! It totally sounds like she's into you, and you haven't got anything to lose! =D

And yeah, tell us how it goes!

 

[teutonicman]

Well dude I'd have to say that it's time for you to drop your balls and ask her on a date.

 

[eatenbyagrue]

She sometimes touches my find?

Your what now?

Hand. I meant hand. *stupid Freudian slip*

 

[TheMatt]

In class, all quiet like.. Take out your penis and hold it in your hand. Then say psssst... and smile...

 

[Foolish Mortal]

Ask her out.
Jesus Christ, things used to be simple. You like a girl, you think she likes you, ask her out. Don't dither. Don't wonder about the consequences. That way madness lies. Dive into the glorious world of relationships headfirst and regret nothing.
Hope it goes well, good sir.

I would definably take this advice but try to do it when none of her friends of other people are about otherwise it could backfire. But if you really want to ask her out just go and do it. Just try and judge asking her out at a good moment though

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

Wait... you're 21 years old!?

 

[Hammered]

Awesome suggestion!

Fellow Escapists, what should I do?

Wouldn't be surprised. My 5 year crush and my current girlfriend could get confused in a line up. The important thing is to realise that Friend -> Girlfriend is dangerous and often liable to end in tears.

Ask the new girl out. If she says no, no biggie, she won't be insulted at the most it'll feel kind of rough. I know its tough but don't worry, she's obviously got a soft spot for you even if it is only as a friend so she certainly won't be mean if you ask and she does want to stay friends.

If she says yes then great! Also it might turn out that friend you have the crush actually would have reciprocated any advance and then it gets confusing [guess what's stressing me out at the moment?].
