I've noticed the increase in threads being made about problems with relationships and dating. Now, I have no problem with the subject matter. No, my problem is with the amount of threads people are creating about it.

Judging by all these threads being made about the same thing, it's safe to say it's inevitable for these questions to be asked; and since the answers to these relationship/dating questions are generally very similar, putting all the questions in one thread saves time and posting.

No, this is not a thread where you specifically ask me for advice; I don't know very much about this subject. I'm simply the guy who has created the thread so you can post your questions for anybody to answer.

So if you have a question about dating or relationships, or anything along those lines, ask it here, wait for someone to reply here, and don't make a new thread about it!

But I say again, you hang out with us all day long and we are from the Internet. There is no way you landed a collage girl.

I don't think anyone can score a collage girl, really.

Collage girls don't change emotion. I think you meant college pickpocket. Why is it so hard to think that I could have a shot with a girl in college?

I haven't asked her yet. I plan to ask her over her spring break.

Ok, so if you were kind enough to read the whole story, If you have any advice whatsoever, I would gladly listen to it, I am desperate. I mean it, any advice.


Don't second guess yourself. The entirety of that trainwreck is because you preempted yourself and how you thought your crush might react.

Then again my straightforward approach to people is due to my being hopelessly concrete and starkly transparent at the same time, so when I feel that I'm not going to ruin any lives I will straight up announce to somebody that I like, "I like you", and the reactions are amazing: they range from somebody looking like a bomb fell on their house, to getting jumped. Your own mileage may vary.

Several mistakes made here. Firstly, never start a conversation with a crush, and a distant one at that, by confessing. Be casual. Be cool about it. Secondly, don't let her realise she has the power at the first meeting. Be the settler/person being chased, and not the reverse. This allows you to be the power holder in the relationship, as crude and ungentlemanly as it seems. Thirdly, put yourself in her shoes. You liked her because of her looks (seeing as you have never really talked to her). Years later, you approach her, and declare your love. It comes out as plain creepy, even though you aren't.

Pretty well. We were in 2 classes together last year and 1 the year before. Plus I talk to her almost every day.

Has the relationship dwelled into the realm of romantic, and more than friends?

We are not in a relationship. I just plan on asking her to prom. Whatever happens after that is up in the air.

Just ask her to the dance man. Face to face, drop it casually. It's not a big fuss.

That is what I am going to do. But the earliest I can see her is over her spring break which is not for another week.
