I think I just blew my chance at being with the girl I like.

[quote="evaxephon";p="650110"]I'm 18, and Amy's 16. I've finished high school, and she's in summer school right now. She lives over an hour away from my house. If we ever meet again, it'll be something the both of us arranged.

Are these obstacles too great? Do these facts prevent me from having any chance with Amy at all? Would it be a waste of effort to continue to pursue her at all?[/quote]a. are you truely 18 ? you act alot less mature...
b. what obstacles ?! these are not obstacles - if you were moving away to college - that'd be an obstacle, if you were joining the army - that'd be an obstacle.

you act like a small 14 year old who's afraid of women. be a man, ask her out.
don't log on the internet and ask people how to move one foot after the other, just go out and walk !

[quote="evaxephon";p="650110"]Where is Jamie Bond?! He should be here to delete all these rude posts...

...But your rudeness aside, I want to ask something. I've been asking "Please give me hope" questions for far too long; now I'd like to ask a decisive and conclusive question.

I'm 18, and Amy's 16. I've finished high school, and she's in summer school right now. She lives over an hour away from my house. If we ever meet again, it'll be something the both of us arranged.

Oh come on man! You're two years older than her you should NOT be this intimidated about asking her out. If you're going to do it then just do it.

Age is almost never a real obstacle nd an hour away isn't really much of an obstacle eiether, don't you drive?

This kind of thing just confirms that you need to just move right the hell on. If you can't even handle a few semi-joking posts on an internet forum where you've turned to strangers for help in making a smple decision that concerns your real life, you don't have the testicular fortitude or the emotional maturity to handle getting involved with this girl and risk both jailtime and simple rejection. Just move the fuck on with your life.

We all have the same recommendations we've had all a long: ASK HER. If you don't want to, then quit asking us. We've given you all the advice we have. All many of us have left are insults.

CyberEd, you asked if he was really 18 because he's so out of it - I met a 17 year old a few weeks ago who claims he had never talked to a girl (in a real conversation) before he took a chance and dove in while I was talking to one while we were at a concert. I was amazed when he told me how little social experience he'd had, I thought he was bullshitting me but it quickly became clear that he wasn't, from listening to him.

It's not much of a stretch for me to believe that this guy is really 18. I'm dismayed and disturbed but not disbelieving.

Gah... what have I done? =p
I'm a moderator, so I must use my own descretion. Discretion. Whatever you know what I mean. The posts I previously deleted crossed a line, but I can't delete EVERYTHING, especially since it was mostly in jest.

Although I do think joking about suicide is pretty low class, but there are other ways to deal with that then deleting... Such as saying it's pretty low class. Like I just did. A public finger shaking, if you will. *shakes finger at those who made jokes in poor taste about suicide*


The thing to take most note of is what Metzgirl just said. We are all basically saying the SAME THING, yet you seem to not want to do it. That being just go for it and ask. The longer you wait, the more afraid if rejection you will become... which is a fear which is not healthy to have in the first place.

If you come into ANY community, keep asking for advice, then proceed to IGNORE the advice every gives, then keep asking anyway, yes, people are going to get irritated and yell at you. I think you are at the point where you should either take our advice (Please!) or stop asking for it, as I cannot really blame people who will get mad at given the current state of affiars. To finish quoting Metzgirl:

I myself had some lack of social skills, I went to a highschool which had 80% boys and 20% so-called-girls. I hardly went out et all, but when I was 18 and wanted a girl I just went for it.
somehow I find it hard to accept lack of experience as an excuse.

from the sound of it, she isn't even that great, if she's that fickle, she'll last till the next guy with a nice care and slick hair comes by.

as for being rude, I tell everyone to go kill themselves.

She doesn't seem fickle at all to me.
