girl at uni

There's this girl at uni who I'm kind of going out with, but it's not that clear. )(At times she's really into me, but others not so much) But she doesn't make suggestions that we should meet up, or do things, and it's always me who has to arrange stuff, and even though live quite close end up only seeing each other at weekends. Are some girls just like that, or isn't this that normal. Would u say it is a good idea to talk and try and clarify the situation, or just see how things go?
thanks

Are you sure she wants the relationship to have a status? Some people do go to Uni with the intention to, or the will to have several flings. There is a possibility she doesn't want to actually be in a relationship?
I would talk to her as it is the only way you will know for sure and avoid getting hurt in the long run.

My good fellow, if your female acquaintance is not suggesting rendezvous or regular meetings then perhaps she is not that interested - however, do not despair, for fortune lies with the bold! Take courage and enquire as to whether she is interested in pursuing romantic affiliations with you. If she is, then huzzah and full steam ahead. If she is not, then regard yourself as a member of the Light Brigade: honourable, courageous but doomed. Then sneak off and try to accquire another female.

yeh i see where you're coming from. It's just recently I've been having my doubts. How should I ask though, and when is a good time? Should I do it while we're having a good night out, or at the end of such a night, or before going out? I've been meaning to talk about it for ages, but then when she's around I just chicken out and don't talk about it. It's really playing on my mind this!

She's playing games mate. Have a word with her and find out what the hell she's playing at.

I believe a splendid time to approach this delicate subject is in a casual setting, for example if you two find yourselves socialising in another's room or somesuch. I personally would not ask her before, during or after a night out, but that is just my eccentric opinion. Above all, do it when you two are alone.

My good man, with my fiancée it took me over a month before I plucked up the courage to confess my feelings. I understand your predicament, but if you show great fortitude now you can reap the rewards later. Best of luck to you :smile:

Did you happen to arrange your engagement through her father? Have you married into that filthy thing called 'business'? Marriage these days is so hard, preserving the pure blood of the upper class is so difficult in this age of industrial revolution and falling land prices...

I detect the filthy stain of sarcasm in your tone sir, but I shall answer your queries regardless.

No I did not arrange my engagement through her father, but I will of course be asking his permission in the traditional manner. She does happen to be part-owner of a large clothing business, so a smart move on my part I think you'll agree :wink:

Lol, this sounds TOTALLY like me. I'm seeing a guy at uni, hes not my boyfriend but everyone thinks we're a couple.

I let the guy do the leg work to prove that he likes me enough to make an effort.

Just make sure you're casual when you ask about whats happening rather than ask her if she wants to be your girlfriend or what she wants now say 'what do you want to happen in the future between us.' From that you should be able to tell how she feels about you...

It's all tricks and games, basically.

I doubt it's tricks and games. She either is seeing someone else during the week; or she just doesn't want a relationship.

Reply 12

lol nah she's not seeing anyone in the week hehe.
It's just so confusing. It seems like such an effort to arrange to do stuff and she doesn't initiate anything (she used to for a while), but despite all that, when we are together we are quite flirty at times, and I think she does care about me.
So will just have to ask her I guess. Does anyone think the do you want anything to happen in the future between us line is ok?, or is there a better way to ask her.

any other advice for my previous question, or I may have to actually use hachem's advice. I don't want to mess this up and say something really wrong.

sorry meant hashem

Just let her go. Look, she isn't initiating anything, doesn't really want to converse with you, so what do you think it means? Honestly, if she cared about you she'd be running back and forth for your approval, or atleast have given you some very clear cut signs that she likes you. In your case the only signs you've recieved are of disinterest.

and she doesn't initiate anything (she used to for a while),


No don't let her go... Try ignoring her? And not arranging anything? Maybe she's got lazy and likes the chase? Tbh she kind of reminds me of me...in a way....
