I'm free this time, and I surrounded mankind
there's nothing here now but you
while gravity never used to bother me
I'm floating senseless in the presence of you
and I see euphoria in what we do
Say that the next time she asks. And sing it. It's a sure win on your part.
I have a theory as to why these threads keep cropping up and how they can be avoided in the future.
I think it's safe to say that the OP doesn't really want advice. The solution to his little problem is far to simple and too obvious. The real issue is that he doesn't have the confidence to go it alone, which is understandable. He's here looking for a group of virtual wingmen to back him up as he makes his leap toward a relationship with this girl, likely because his real life friends aren't supportive enough to put to such a purpose, making the anonymity of the internet a way to safeguard himself from scorn hitting to close to home. None of your responses are of the slightest importance, which is why he hasn't come back to say "Thank you. I'll do that. /thread."
If you want to free yourselves from these threads, make a sticky thread out of the following.
Rest assured when we tell you that the entirety of the world wide web is behind you in your endeavor to ask out whichever girl or guy is the current object of your affection. The internet really does amount to more than a simple hate machine, and as a whole it would be pleased enough to see you succeed romantically, especially considering the benefits arising from that success.Having more gamers living normal lives in healthy, stable relationships makes the gaming industry so much less likely to be frowned upon by media whores and soccer moms seeking an easy target for cathartic blame. Furthermore, there's always the chance that your relationship will turn out to be a very caring and supportive one, making your partner into the supportive outlet that this humble series of tubes wishes so desperately not to be. So by all means, go for it. Ask them out. You have our full blessing. Also, when it comes to sex; pics or it didn't happen. Thank you.
It may also be a good idea to add a second paragraph for the benefit of those seeking a shoulder to cry on. I would recommend finding an author who is less of a dick for that purpose though.
Girls (myself included) tend to go about a long and complicated way of finding out if a guy has feelings for her. She most likely asked you if you liked someone cause in her head she thought it wasn't suspicious and she wouldn't have to put herself out there by actually asking you out. GO FOR IT MAN!
Just tell her. As a girl I can tell you that girls like sincerity. Do it in a place private and ask her on a date. Don't be loud and obnoxious about it. Don't make her. And don't make it super obvious that you like her right there. Asking her on a date will show her that you're interested and then during the date you'll both find out if you can continue you.
Also, her asking that isn't necessarily a trap. It could just as easily have been her asking for a friend or something.
pal, you missed the boat on this one. the moment right after she asked you was the moment you should have said "You." and shown a very sincere smile. there's only two possible outcomes:
1. rejection. humiliation. you walk away stronger for taking one on the chin.
2. a flirty laugh and a smile back. you ask her out after class and enjoy a strangely traditional courtship.
not knowing what you did, I can't help you. honestly I couldn't help you much anyway, I would have been skeptical and fallen for the same 'trap'. as long as you don't bombard her with soliloquies about your guarded affections and endless tortured longing and bleh bleh bleh you hopefully won't scare her away, but don't ignore her and let her feelings go stale (assuming they're there)
ooo that's good, depending on the delivery. hopefully she's enticed and you'll hear from her again.

Why can't you play along and go "It's a secret!" in a playful voice. Then you'd have a good idea if she likes you by what kind of reaction you get from her. You can be too truthful in situations like this, but having some fun with it is probably your best bet. Eye contact is useful too, you can guage a lot of what she really means if you do that.
damn that sounds like good advice, from a much keener flirt than myself. that's not saying much, I couldn't talk a slice of cheese into a cheeseburger.
If you want to creep her out you could say John Smith (Or whatever, as long as its a boy). But if you really would like to get to know her better, just say it. If any girl ever asks who you like, unless they're you're friend then it means they probably like you too.
The solution to all problems of this nature is to be super assertive and tell her directly that she's a fuckin' badass and you want to go out with her. Everybody on earth appreciates a certain degree of assertiveness, especially if you're doing it to do something nice or affectionate.
I recommend turning the point around and making her guess. Perhaps by describing her in vague details at first and then becoming more specific. That way, it's her that says it and you retain, I believe it's called, "plausible deniability". The phrase originated from the CIA, if I remember correctly, so take it for what it's worth.
