..this girl i like

hi,

met this girl a while ago out, shes great, good lookin, funny etc and yes i do like her lots, and i think she likes me...

anyways, had a few personal things ive been sorting out recently, nothing too major, but cutting down on drinking, quit smoking, and even stopped using...

this has resulted in me going out less and i do feel better for it. i do like girls, and i really like this girl. problem is, aint gone out much recently cause i want to behave - get back on track and do well at uni etc so aint met up with her. and also , i know this seems wrong, but i havent really bin 'in the mood' to put the 'effort' in to get with girls recently !! (not that u girls are effort but if blokes r gunna get n e where we have to put a bit of work in!!)

anyways, i aint text this girl for a while cause of that, but i realised im thinkin about her loads and i stupidly bin ignorin her texts.. already said once a while ago that i wasnt responding cause i lost my fone and so i cant use that one again and shes text me a few times askin stuff like how ive bin, how was my weekend, askin whether im okay, and i just dont know what i should do to text back. dont want to let her know that i use to drink too much - wanna make a good impression and as my friends suggest - say that ive bin busy and thats why i aint responded - thats stupid because it takes like 1 min to write a text.

anyways, need some advice, lookin to say something good/funny/excuse for not texting her (preferably all 3) over last few days and give me some advice on what i should do next - ask her out on a date or what!

help!!!!!!!!!:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Say you're sorry and that you really like her and wanted to work out how you feel before you told her, that you want to take things slow etc but would like to go out with her sometime. You know that you're going to have to tell her you've abused alcohol at some stage though?

i cant say im sorry and ive had to work, its really just like not me, im that type of person who am more 'cheeky' and 'jokey' towards girls. mates always say that if they looked up my name in a relationship book i would have the definition 'treat em mean but keep em keen'...

and on the alcohol issue.. its not like i was an alcoholic, it was that i just had a habit of going out and getting to a paraletic state(but still have quite good control)but id do this regularly - just the biggest type of alcohol binge you can imagine for a long time... but ive dropped it all and i know i have self disipline and i believe if i get wiv this girl - it can only be helpful for my problems!

thing is, i do like this girl a lot, and if i was readin this post id be laughing probably and be saying just ****in text her.. but i cant ****in think of what to write cause i like her so much!!! and consequently cant sleep:frown:
Maybe you need to learn to say sorry.

does not texting somebody for a few days warrant an apology though? its not like it was intentional! but in my experience, you should only say sorry when its necessary.. how many times od u get people who write 'sorry for the slow reply' - its like? does that make it all better? or on the other hand? ur actually sorry -- hmm? or on the other hand... your sorry for writin a text slow? i believe if i twisted it to be funny it would b better... unless everyone disagrees? (but hey - if everyone single one did, i might have to ignore you all to be original :P)!

call her :biggrin:
Surely a quick apology, like sorry I haven't text in ages wouldn't hurt things at all

lol Lantick - i dont know what to write in a text right now , got knows what id say when i speak 2 her, ****in shambles atm! :confused:

Rock Fan, i guess i could do that, but like, if it was the other way round, and u received a text like that, you would be like? wantin an explanation or ud be like.. is that it? (if u were textin someone on a really regular basis), and what should say after ive apoligised!

thanks for the advice tho!! needed and apreciated!:smile:
Well i'd just casually ask where have you been?

yeah if she's actually that bothered then she cares too much IMO. just say you meant to reply but forgot. it's only a text, not the end of the world
