My my... aren't you a pretty one. If only I was six years younger...

Anyway... you're in high school, and the sad fact is that most of the people your age (Including yourself) have not evened out yet socially, or personality wise.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about such things until your 20. Any relationship below that will, most likely, be pointless practice anyway...

Ugh... 6 years...

Becuase men, when they want to get a girl they like, turn socially inept. We just dont function socially. We're not taught to be lovy dovey. So when we feeel that way, its this strange, alien feeling that we have to work out.

But, saying that, you are pretty cute. If i wasnt dating a girl (no seriously, i'm in a relationship) I would ask if you wanted to try something. Though.. maybe next time you should waer a shirt. You're going to get alot of guys who think solely on the fact that a bra is all youre wearing top side.

Side note: you have a cute eye/face/hair combo. Thats why i think i would have liked to try something if i was single.

My question to you is, why not go out hunting yourself? I chose my quarry carefully, tailing him a bit, then pounced. For most guy gamers, you just have to make yourself clear. I told mine, "I'm hunting you. You are mine. You have no choice." And he said, "...okay."

It helps that we're both into anime, and know the social formula for relationships: aggressive girl gets bespectacled guy.

I suppose it's not really expected of girls to go out hunting for boys. A pity.

Haha, I got a good laugh out of that.

OT: Honestly? I'm afraid of girls because every girlfriend I've had has fucked me up in one way or another. My most recent break up caused my parents to believe I have schizophrenia, the one before her caused me to reveal I have bipolar disorder and the one before that caused me to get chronic depression. That's why I don't ask people out.

Well I have my reason. Everytime I ask someone out I get betrayed so I just went with screw it, I'll be that guy who is a loner.
Yeah, I thought that too. I wasn't intimidated, I just didn't want to get betrayed like the many times I had been, by friends and girlfriends alike.

Which is why it means a lot that my girlfriend now is someone I found on this website. I put my heart on the line and, hey, I won.
Just remember a gamble with your heart will always end in a loss.

Y'know, I hate leaving feelings in limbo. I prefer resolution.

Not that I've had much luck with women myself, even with expressing my feelings to them; it's not that I've actually been rejected yet but more that I haven't really gotten a grasp of my feelings until now. And the girl I like... well, she has quite the waiting list, so to speak.

And @NaturalCauses: Serious? I'd probably ask you out if I didn't have my own preoccupations and (most probably) a massive distance problem. I'm honestly shocked that you're having so much trouble.

I have friends. I have girl friends, and I have boy friends. Only once have I had a boyfriend. My courage in asking him out resulted in two good months, until he decided to invite my friend over and ended the night with making out with her. I haven't tried any relationships since- that was a year and a half ago.

Last summer, after prom, a friend of mine asked if I wanted to go out with him. He said he had liked me for a long time. I didn't feel the same way about him, so I said no, and then asked why he waited until now, when I'd be moving away soon anyway. His response was that he was afraid I would say no; and the funny thing is, I had feelings for him a few months prior, and would have said yes had he asked then. Instead, we both continued on our lives, and we haven't loved anyone since.

The past five years of my life, in terms of love, have been miserable. I'm sure plenty of you understand. No guys ask me to go out with them, and I find it hard to become infatuated with anyone because the only experience I've had with relationships has been unpleasant. Right now, I'm at breaking point, feeling absolutely alone and that I'm missing on something wonderful.

My point in all this? Why won't any of you guys ask me on a date?

I say 'you' in general. 'You guys'. It's always the same excuse- "I'm too shy", "She'll say no", "She's so intimidating".


Us girls are screaming to be asked out. There's no way that you know we'll deny you. So why can't you just ask? You won't lose anything. I'm still friends with the guy who broke my heart, and the guy who missed my heart. So why can't you just ask?

I wish a guy like one of you folks here on the Escapist could meet me in real life. You're kind, you're intelligent, but you can't just ask. It's a problem all of us geeks and gamers seem to have.

So for discussion:

Go ask out that girl you like. Please, do it now. If she says yes, dance; if she says no, get over it; if she says nothing, crack a bad joke. Why can't you just do it?

Not just 'gamer guys' are lonely.

((Apologies for coming off as depressed or whiny. That's never me; except tonight, for some reason...))
If you have only just moved and you don't know anybody why would guys that don't know you also, ask you out

Well, I've always asked out people I've been interested in. Pretty high success rate too. However, not entirely sure I'm your target audience with the rant. :p Hopefully you'll settle into the area you've moved to soon enough and will have the confidence to ask people out for yourself. :)

^ awesome answer

OT: A mix of everyone's answers, I'm shy, been rejected and heartbroken plus I'm focusing on school. I just got out of a 10 month relationship, real horrible mess. But, to make an interesting story, i will go up to the girl i like and ask her out next time i see her. :) and i hope to get a good story out of it

No offense, but this is the 21st century right? It's okay to ask a guy out too. It's not a one-way street. I realize you did that, and you ended up getting hurt. But don't let that stop you from trying again. Just try to learn from your mistakes. Maybe the guy you asked out was good looking, but he turned out to be a douche. Next time, get to know someone a little better first.

Also, if you were a little older, I'd ask you out. Obviously that's hypothetical, but you should know not all guys are afraid to put themselves out there.

Well you appear to be very attractive. However i wouldnt have asked you out becouse i'd be way out of your league. A woman such as your self could do so much better than me that i would automaticly assume you'd say no and the best i could hope for is to be friends. After knowing you for a while i would eventually pluck up the courage to tell you. Its likely thats why guys you know always wait a while before telling you.
