Well, I got this problem. You may remember the poll I posted last year, or this year, can't really remember. It was about this person that I liked- but my best friend liked her too. I decided to just leave it alone, it wasn't worth losing my best friend. Now, it has pretty much happened again. Here are the details:

1. I like this girl, the same one as before.

2. Another person likes her, too. He is not my best friend, and is currently going out with another girl.

3. She thinks I'm all right, as far as I know. I don't really exactly know if she likes me or not, but she never said she hated me or anything, and I overheard her once say "he's nice", referring to me.

4. My best friend is no longer having a relationship with this person.

5. I have asked her out twice. The first time was long ago, but she was already going out with my best friend. The second time was after they broke up, a few months ago. She said she was still sad about the last relationship, and just wanted to be friends.

6. There was a party at my friend's house the other week. One of my friends, asked her "why not ask willard out"? She said no. He then asked her to name all of the things she did not like about me. She said I was too shy. She also said that she hated my laugh. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

7. I really like this girl. It's true, I am kinda shy. But she is shy too. I laugh so many different ways, it's hard to tell which one she hates. Oh well. :D I am afraid that if I ask her out again she will say no again, and I will humiliate myself. What if she hates my guts? What if she loves my guts? It's hard to tell. What should I do?

I recommend the third option. Things like this always take time to work out IMO. Never rush them.

BTW, Willard, the leopard(?) cub in your sig is real cute. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Just go for it dude, why waste time ? If she doesn't like you... hey... there will be others.

Thanks dude. I like cheetahs too. ;)

I don't know about your suggestion tho. As I mentioned earlier, I'm not the only person that likes this girl. I'm afraid that if I do it real slow, by the time I ask her it will be too late.

<font color="lightblue">Ditto.
If you like her that much, ask her. If she doesn`t like you, you`ve still become a better person for it. There will be some one eventually who you like, and who likes you- this may be that someone. </font>

I guess I'm the only one to vote no...you've asked her out a few times already with negative results, I'd just find someone else. Other fish in the ocean, and all that...

if she doesn't like you being shy then don't be shy and go and ask her out. Hell you've done it twice before but neither time was right so why not try one last time, you have nothing to lose and potentially a lot to gain. But she obviously knows you like her, thus if she really wants to go out with you and she thinks the time is right she will likely ask you either that or start flirting with you, but women are strange creatures and there is only one sure fire way to find out and that is ask her.

You just said it all in four words, Hesperex. ;) I'm gonna put that in my sig! Yeah, maybe I should ask her......

Hi Willard ask here out if she say no then you are finnished with here so that`s it. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Timing is everything. It's also best to go with your gut (but not when nerves get to it). Like they say, third time's a charm.
