I'm Sooo in love, and I NEED YOUR ADVICE. Girly Thread, Huh?

edited November 2009 in General
This woman is absolutely gorgeous.
Like for reals.
I love her.
BACK OFF, JOHN!
I was kidding.
Haha.
Let's stop hitting the "enter" key, and get serious.

Ah, much better. Okay, this is Ellie, and i've known here for two years. She just turned 16, (Age difference ftw!) and I really want her to be mine. Like, I love her very much. I have her IM, and her phone number, and all that stuff. I also talk to her a lot, so we're pretty godd friends. Problem is, she lives a town over, so I never get to see her, cept for maybe once a year :(. I don't know if I have the balls to ask her to meet me somewhere. I tried to get together with her one time, but we couldn't find each other -_-. We've slow danced, and sort-of kissed too. I need to know, do I have a shot at her? She just broke up with her boyfriend too. I'd like to hear some advice. If you don't care, *cough*MJC*cough*, don't reply. For those of you who do, help here?

    erm, just off the bat, if you want to win her over, don't creep her out by putting pictures of her on the internet.

    Oi, those be from myspace. I'm sure she doesn't mind =_=

    Age difference isn't such a big deal after you've hit your 20's, but it just doesn't work out well in high school (especially, Especially if you go to different schools and don't see each other very often). And unfortunately, there are very few girls in high school who seriously date younger guys. So though Ellie probably does value your friendship, a relationship might not be in the stars.

    Incidentally, the fact that she's broken up with her boyfriend should not be seen as a great opportunity. There is a reason that 'rebound' relationships are a bit of a cliche. Basically, if a relationship is meant to be, your beloved wants YOU in her life regardless of circumstances.

    Please, just make sure you're in actual love first. Think of reasons why you'd want to be with her, and not just think you want to be with her. I've been "in love" 3 times before, and after thinking about it for a while, it turns out it was just an unusually long crush.

    Random question- how old are you? If you can drive, then you should definitely suggest that you two go see a movie or something. Do it casually, and see where it goes from there.

    Just turned 14.

    I'd say go for it! No time like the present to learn about relationships, I always say! When it doesn't work out, you'll look back on now and laugh.

    Seriously, think of the future, not the present. THEREFORE, go for it.
  • edited February 2007
    So, John, how long did it take for you to look back and laugh about Olga?

    Oh, haha, DOUBLE POST OF ADVICE:

    People get caught up with titles, especially at such a young age, when they're very unecessary! Is she a girl? Is she your friend? Well then she's your girlfriend!

    Location situation? Public transportation! If you like her that much, you'll walk 500 miles to see her.

    Already talk to her and are good friends? Sorta kissed? Hah, you've got this. Just do what comes naturally. You're much more adept at this than I was at your age...or am right now...

    ...


    D=

    =D

    EDIT OF: I'm laughing right now? DON'T YOU SEE MY EMOTE ABOVE!?

    I'm going to speak out of turn here and note that titles can actually be very important because they define certain boundaries. When a title is involved, everyone is clear about the nature of the relationship. Therefore, there is no gray area about whether romance is involved, or whether one party has the right to be pissed if the other is seen at the malt shoppe holding hands with Johnny Football Hero. People who are simply undefined makeout buddies often fall out over a mismatch of implied expectations.

    There is a humorous 90's alternative reference in there!

    If you listen to any advice at all, Agentcel, listen to this. I learned this one firsthand.

    Age difference can be hard at that age, but it's never a barrier. If you already danced and "sort of kissed" then that's a really good sign.

    If she's 16, can she drive? Sure, some kids may make fun of you for your girlfriend coming to pick you up, but then you can probably ask them if they're dating good looking older women. (I say you can say that from your perspective. I make no claims as to her being good looking or not, because I'm 22 and it could make me a pedo if I say it)

    Go ahead and try. What's the worse that can happen? She says no? If she lives in the next town over, it's not like you'll see her every day and have it be awkward.

    I didn't start dating until I was 19, and it sucked until then. This is a good age for you to start trying to find what you want, because learning that takes years and years.

    Go for it and tell us how it goes!

    Update?
    Hey Ellie.

    Carter here. I noticed we're becoming pretty good friends, but something has been bugging me. I think you're...really pretty. And, I just wondered, do I have any shot at a relationship with you? If not, hopefully we can still be good friends. Oh, and don't lie to spare my feelings, I can take anything ^^.

    -Carter
    Am I completely screwed over? I was going for "casual".
  • edited February 2007
    You could've done worse.


    Did I ever tell you guys about the time I gave a car to my "undefined relationship" person?
  • edited February 2007
    No, you didn't

    Agentcel, direct is good. This was a lot better than just pining awkwardly over it for the next three months.
  • edited February 2007
    I'm sorry. But you've heard about most of my latest drama with guys. And I know you're not like them. But I really don't want to be with anyone right now. Plus, we never see each other. So it would be hard to hold onto anything. So yea I'd still love to be friends cause I really do enjoy talking to you!

    Sumbitch. Ah, I tried. This exactly what I expected, too. Damn.

    At least I made DAMN PIMPIN' Myspace page in the process. With Zelda musics!

    EDIT OF: Oops, my page is private. Better fix that.

    ANOTHER EDIT: What the heck?! >.> How do I "unprivatize" it?
  • edited February 2007
    Well, at least you didn't give her a car.
  • edited February 2007
    I wouldn't be surprised if she has a boyfriend. I've been given that exact speech before, and they always had a boyfriend.
  • edited February 2007
    She's probably cock-teasing him right now, actually.

    You should probably pay closer attention to the girls in your school. Chances are, there's one of them in there that likes you a whole damned lot, but you're not picking up on it.

    Yeah, its not exactly what you're after, here, but its a damned nice alternative after a chick turns you down.
  • edited February 2007
    Yeah, I've got one girl that's all over me. She's not too pretty though =_=. And don't call me a jackass for saying that, that's society for yeah! I'm friends with that girl too.

    You, sire, are so, SO going to regret that.

    Enjoy whatever's left of your social life, that's society for ya!

    In more positive relationship news, I'm off to visit my girlfriend tomorrow.

    Least I only have to drive ~250 miles this time. ^^

    So, have faith, relationships aren't everything, especially when you're young. I didn't get into my first dating relationship until I got into college.

    The main thing to remember is that every prospective relationship carries with it the potential danger of hurt feelings and heartbreak, it's a fact of life. You have to decide whether or not to take that risk.

    It's worth it.

    I wouldn't say you're going to burn for your rule of "no not-pretties", but I will say you're missing out on your best opportunity to avoid becoming a frighteningly old virgin.

    EDIT: Hamelin always has been and always will be the good, younger version of me. The one unblemished and full of light-side points. You should probably listen to him if you value your soul.
    However, if you DONT value your soul, you should tag that fugly girl who wants you, before she changes her mind. And she will change her mind. They all do.

    If he's the GOOD younger you, what does that make me? ;_;

    Ooh, ooh! Can I be the female you, Khan?

    Also, do we get to hear the story of the not-exactly-girlfriend that you gave a car to, or do we merely get to marvel at the fact that it happened?

    Um, but on a more serious note. While I find the notion of Agentcel rating girls against a pretty vs. not pretty standard a little bit offensive, you can't make yourself like a person that you don't like. So if you don't like the girl who likes you, obviously you shouldn't, uh, 'tag' her just for the sake of 'tagging'.

    Dude, he's 14. He shouldn't be 'tagging' anyone.
