WARNING this is EXTREMELY LONG.
I dunno why I'm asking this on internet (yeah sad i know...) but anyway here's the story (and i hope the person involved doesn't read this, i'm ******ed anyway so what can i lose? make a fool of myself again?):
i met a girl a while back in the summer at some sort of group dinner thing and asked for her email. we then chatted on msn and i asked whether she'd be online in the evening as i told her my parents were awake just after 6pm... then she replied that 'whether i had something special to say'... then i asked her out on a date (yep - bloody silly idea. oh well.) and she said she's only known me for a day but she wouldnt mind going for a drink.
(doesn't going for coffee count as going on a date? confused.)
later i apologised for ruining everything an got a reply saying 'lets just be friends for now. (yep, now officially ****ed.)
a week later we exchanged email twice but she didn't reply to my last one (is she ignoring me??)
... so i left it at that and yesterday (two weeks after the email thing) i sent me an offline message on msn but got no reply. well she's probably sorting herself out for starting university so doesnt have time to reply as it's freshers week. (now have i just ruined everything as she's not talking to me? or that she thinks I am a loser <-- i'm alright normally but in this situation, yes, I'm stupid). I don't want to send another message because she'll probably think i'm stalking and obssessed with her.. (obsessed is probably not the right word but i like her so much that I am almost, almost obssessed with her)
i dunno how to put this but i've only liked a girl before and she's the second... have i scared her away by asking her on a date after knowing her for a day? i just can't get her out of my mind and i rarely like a girl this deeply.. all i want is a chance for her to know me, if she doesn't like it it's fine... a chance is all i want. and she's the second person (other than my parents lol) that I really want to get close to and i just want to take care of her.
a few nights following the first dinner (probably the last one by the sound of it) i couldn't sleep and couldnt stop thinking about her and i had quite serious abdominal pain (got that checked out by a doc and had a white liquid thing test to assess my intestines, the doc said it's spasm of the gut due to stress probably).... i mean, what can I do? the first time i ask (the first) girl out i got rejected and ruined a few years of friendship, so i thought i would try asking now (with this second girl) before things get too deep..... for the past month i can't get her out of my head and i miss her so much and physically my heart hurts because she's not around me.
I'm always in a lose-lose situation. Murphy's law seems to operate smoothly in my life. i socialise with people all right but I have no idea how to deal with this.... i don't want to seem to be stalking... but what should I do?
