I went out for a few drinks with a group of friends last night, one of which is a girl I like who's a workmate of my friend. I've known her with about a month and we always see each other when some friends and I meet for drinks. I really like her, she's a nice person and we always have long conversations about all types of things when we see each other.

I've been getting on well with her as friends but believe there's a possibility we could be more than friends :p I asked my friend a little while back whether she mentioned anything about me, whether she liked me or not, but he didn't really say much, which didn't help. I'd like to remain friends with her so I guess at the moment I'll just take it easy for a while and keep seeing her and see if something happens, not force the situation. Hope she does like me cos I like her!

I've been mostly single over the years and it doesn't bother me too much, I quite like being single, but every now and then you meet someone who you'd like to be with. Only problem is they never seem to want to be with me! :eek:

Has anyone else got any romance troubles at the moment?

I have a girlfriend...therefore I ALWAYS have troubles!!:D :D :D

On the serious side, have you thought of asking her out one on one? It doesn't have to be a date, I have a few friends of the opposite sex, and I go out with them all the time. Perhaps, getting her away from everyone else will allow her to show her true feelings, if she has them. Otherwise you end up having a nice time out with a good friend. Can't lose really....

Sorry to bring up the sensitive subject, Beausgirl

Gotta positive never know what the day will bring! ;)


Briedis - Yeah, I've thought about that, I might do it, go out with her just casually and see what happens. I just remembered a few nights ago she was out with a few of my mates, I couldn't make it and rang them to see how they're going and she said that we should go out together sometime, just each other. She was a bit tipsy at the time she said it but that's definitely a hint she at least likes me, and me being a goose only just remembered that conversation now! :p

Right, my mind's made up, I gotta see if she'd like to catch up sometime just us two! :)

Sydneyfan...definately time to make a move son.

If you don't make a move soon, one of your friends will move in and CUT YOUR LUNCH. Now you don't want that to happen do you.

Trust me mate...she likes you. You have heaps in common..she's probably waiting for you to make a move, and because you haven't she is starting to think that you are not interested.

Good Luck.

That's the spirit Sydney fan. That's what I like to hear.

Now mate...slowly slowly. Test the water. Not full on with your approach or you could scare her off....ie don't approach her with "I am madly in love with you, your my soul mate, rar rar rar". Maybe start with just you and her for lunch one weekend. The weather is getting better now....maybe a ferry ride from Circular Quay over to Manly Beach.

;)

Agree with Maverick...the longer you leave it the closer you move to the dreaded 'just good friends' tag and she will be able to use the line 'I don't want to upset the friendship'. Better to jump in now before it gets to that stage, even if she does say no you will surely end up being friends anyway.

nope no romance troubles i never have em coz i never bother with that sorta stuff :D

there is nothing worse though than either friends trying to set u up or when u get the feeling a friend of a friend likes u and he asks your friends whether he has a chance with u or not. It's just so lame it's like if u won't even ask her yaself how r u gonna get into bed with her!

So yeh my advice Sydney fan...usually its piss easy to tell whether someone wants ya or not so if u get that vibe just go for it but i think u should do it yourself instead of involving other people because its a more honest approach and other people tend to muck it up.

Thanks for the advice everyone

Thanks for the advice everyone, there's some good advice there! :)

I must admit I often fall into the trouble of wussing out when asking a girl I like out, leaving it too late. But, the time has come to change that.

Carpe Diem - Seize the moment!

Now, I've just gotta make sure I don't go in too full-on too fast, I have a habit of doing that too! :D

My mate once turned up to her place, on a first date, naked with a bottle of champers and two glasses...and it worked! She laughed her head off .... he testifies that it was the situation and not anything else that caused her laughter!:D

Briedis, He must be a pretty confident bloke or confident that he had a chance with the girl, to pull a stunt like that! :D

Re: Re: Re: Romance troubles

make a move sydneyfan and see what happens...you never know!!!!

i got a bit of female troubles at the minute:

I really really really like this girl who ive known for about 5 weeks...she knows i really really like her, and she says she really likes me.
The problem is she wants a break from boiyfriends at the minute cos her last boyfriend was a bit of a tool to her.
Anyway - i dunno if thats the truth - or she is just saying no i wont go out with you in a different way.

we speak each night for hours on the phone, and we get along really great in person....plus she only lives 2 minutes away as well which is fantastic for me - as my last two girlfriends lived 35 and 50 minutes away!
anyways - we are basically going out - its just not official - well i hope that is the case....she seems to have told all her friends about me - which i hope is a good thing.
One 'problem' is she is only 16 tho...seeing as im 20 - that could present a problem for a while cos she wont be able to go out with me and my friends. but i dont care about that.....

anyway - ive crapped on enough!

Yeah! He's one of these types that will get naked at any opportunity. He went on a Rugby Union trip to England for the last world cup and he was showing me the photos and it was like "Here's one of me at So-and-so castle" - he's nude. "Here's one of me at the battlefield where Rob Roy did such and such" - he's nude. "Here's one of me at the pub after the World Cup final." - he nude! It was very funny. The castle shots were the funniest. He's be standing there in the buff looking whistfully out over the English countryside - nude. You could see people walking past in the shot looking at him with horror!

I remember another time we were at a 30th birthday party for some work friends and it was fancy dress. It was at a pub and it shut at 12PM so the party moved to this girls place...anyway as we were walking down the road he comes tearing past with just joggers on and his cape from his Batman costume...it was the middle of winter so we all had a bit of a laugh at his expense!!

Just make sure she doesnt say "your such a nice guy"! No surer indicator in the world to let you know they arent interested in you in any other way than being friends.


Every girl ive known has said what a nice guy I am.... :(

My heart bleeds for you, Macca. My girlfriend lives in Geelong. I'll see your 50 minutes and raise you 1000 km :D
