This poll chooses what I do... hooray!

Poll

What should I do??

After my failings with the anon, I give up. Who needs anonimity anyway. If we all told each other how we felt... the world would be a better place.

(In some ways I do hope she finds out though... it would be easier :s-smilie: )...

OK... so... here's the situation.

There's a girl I (really quite) like. I'm 17. She's 17.

She introduced herself to me at a seminar about our chosen career path back in February. We got talking, got on really well, but I never got her number or contact details! IDIOT :frown:

We then bumped into each other randomly when going to a volunteering interview about a month later. Totally and utterly crazy. We talk some more, she gives me her number (didn't have to ask, makes a change) :smile:

We now volunteer at the same time, meet up to have a coffee afterwards, have a chat. This has been going since about April, on-off though, due to exams and holidays etc. We've spent who knows how much on texts, and MSN each other pretty much every time we're on at the same time. Today we were talking for two hours. No-one else, just sitting in a cafe.

But next month, I'm going away for a whole month :frown:, and will have no chance of seeing her until September. Today was the last time we were seeing each other. It was my one chance to explain how I felt, and I could've recovered from the response over the next month.

Today she reveals that she has never had a bf, has never kissed anyone, and told the last bloke who was interested in her that 'its not the right time in her life'. She's defo not a lesbian (lol! :biggrin:), and tbf he had come out of the blue - had had no contact with her whatsoever.

She's amazing... to put it simply. We console each other when we're down... have similar interests... are actually interested in each others lives... and have made some little plans for when I get back (only as friends)...

WHAT DO I DO???? :woo:

So I decided to come on here and create a poll - how sad.

Thanks for reading this far. Unfortunately I won't be able to see her in person in the next month - I'm depressed about that - so anything I do say will be over MSN / by text.

I will actually do whatever comes out as the most popular choice... and tell you what happens!! :s-smilie:

so uh...you want to be more than friends or just friends?

keep in contact over msn and text for this one month and as soon as you return, just tell her you want to make babies inside of her, or however you approach girls, i dont know. you seem more than capable of talking to her about ANYTHING so go for it man! :smile:

There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don’t got a lot to say
But there’s something about her
And you don’t know why
But you’re dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl

Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It’s possible she wants you, too
There is one way to ask her
It don’t take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl

Sing with me now
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh, my
Look at the boy too shy
He ain’t gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain’t that sad
Ain’t it shame, too bad
You gonna miss the girl

Now’s your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don’t say a word
And she won’t say a word
Until you kiss the girl

Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don’t be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don’t stop now
Don’t try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Float along
Listen to the song
The song say kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Music play
Do what the music say
You wanna kiss the girl

You’ve got to kiss the girl
Why don’t you kiss the girl
You gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl

tell her to her face. you can read body language, facial expression, actual tone of voice, and such on...msn is so....not personal.

trust me mate.

face to face - msn will look really lame. Use msn to meet her in person.
I voted for just tell her straight. Obviously it would be better if you could do it in person as its far easier to gauge a persons response when you can see them and not just a screen. Honestly though just say it. If she feels the same then great, if not then at least you're not sitting there wondering and you can just get on with being friends.

just tell her on msn, then if she only wants to be friends then u wont see her for a while to get over it
Bit late asking now, you should have asked before your last meet with her, well if you want to ask her to be your gf, then phone her, or wait till you get back, she'll still be here

@ New Username... yehh... people say I should be more self confident... :smile: Unfortunately 'find out on TSR' wasn't an option on the poll. It'd be nicer to hear it from me in person.

@ MichaelG... more than friends :smile: - well, kissing doesn't constitute being just friends in my mind I guess

@ Emmska... that was the plan for this afternoon :frown: - didn't have the balls to do it though lol.

Tell her in person. It's definitely nicer. If you both like each her then nothing will change over the month and you will have plenty of time to tell her when you back.
There isn't really anything to gain by telling her over msn, other than the fact that she will know how you feel...she doesn't really seem the kind of girl who would go around getting with loads of guys - so you don't have anything to worry about in that respect (i.e. she isn't going to jump on the next guy she sees - so she will still be available if you like in a months time)

Personally, I would definitely prefer to know in person - it seems more genuine. Or at least, if you do decide you want it in the open before you leave, then call her :smile:

It's all personal preference though, and at the end of the day, if her feelings reciprocate yours than it won't matter what you do - you will still end up together :smile:

Good luck
I haven't voted because I think you should call her. I think it's unfair for you to have to wait for a whole month to tell her how you feel.. But also MSN wouldn't be special at all. So I think a phone call would be a good idea.

Phone.

Phone.


Indeed. Speaking > virtual words that cannot be transcribed into emotion, unless you use emoticons, but that's besides the point.

Phone.

Why wouldn't you phone her?! If you have her moby no, just do it!

How old are you?
Reply 15
Phone her. Words really can't describe exactly how you feel, no matter how many emoticons you use!
Reply 16
17... lol. How petty - I sound about 12.

Should have added phone in hindsight... :s-smilie: - sorry. It could be an option.

And to the person who voted don't tell her... comments??... :biggrin:
boy, tell her in person if you want the relationship to go places because only then it will enable you to gauge her true reaction.

However if she says it is not the right time don't be dismayed, give her space. It doesn't necessarily mean she doesn't like you, I do this sometimes even with guys I want but the timing is faulty.

Be calm, I value your bravery. You seem to have a lot in common with the girl
basically you need to tell her. but when n how? its better in person, but ages away. make hints on msn, talk alot on msn so you dont lose contact n stuff. I think its better to tell her in person definately but its better to do it sooner rather tha later.
if you wait a month to tell her there's always the chance a third party could become involved with either you or her. I'm sure you wouldn't be to bothered if it was you but if it was her then you would be upset i'm sure. Tell her now by any means possible.
