True. Oh shit, Crush has an update. *reads*

EzLink said:Maybe I'm just inexperienced and naive, but doesn't it seem both degrading and pessimistic to automatically assume women aren't to be trusted? Is it really a good idea to take the "guilty until proven innocent" approach here?
CrushDance said:Wow. You guys really ran with this huh? Well let me break it down.
After I logged off GAF and went to work. I found to my dismay that the guys shift I'd taken was one of filing, I hate filing. Shit takes forever. Well I wasn't that bummed out about it, I got extra hours anyway, but I was a little angry that he'd lied to me about what he was doing today. Anyway Catherine walked by two hours in and I didn't really say anything at first, I didn't know exactly what to say "Hi" didn't seem right. So I jokingly quizzed her about why she was acessing the work server at 4 in the morning. She explained that she'd forgot some work and had stayed up anyway, I said I had stayed up too and then....awkward pause. Eyes averted both ways and I said, cheerfully mind you, "That's cool" and promptly went back to work. She stayed for a bit longer and our eyes met as I snuck a peak Well I thought I'd "tested the waters" enough but was unsure as to what my next step would be. Halfway through my work, she came by again and asked if I wanted anything to drink. This time I bit my tongue and quickly said "Just" a cup of water. And then my stupid ass friend in the next cubicle "I want a heart on mine too!" Jesus Christ. I gave him the stare of death and she just looked away right away and didn't say anything. I started panicking because his comment screamed "I'm insecure" and it made me worry that she might look down on me.
Well she got me the water but this time there was nothing on it. I checked. Me and my friend didn't talk for about an hour, I was beyond pissed. Eventually I opened up and told him that was a stupid thing to say, because the only way anyone would have known about the previous incident would be if I told. I didn't want her thinking I gossiped about her...er.....right...I was pretty sure I'd fucked up badly, and for some reason, I "cared" I started trying to catch her gaze and whatnot, but she wasn't being receptive. One time she just gave me this weak smile(I've seen that smile before) You know, the "You've fucked up" one that girls give? Aggravated I tried not thinking about what SHE was thinking, but it just got to me and I started making mistakes and dropping things around me. Then about thirty minutes later, she came back around wearing her suit jacket, heading for the door. Fuck, I wanted to say something, she didn't even say goodbye. I turned to me friend and just shook my head. He then went on to tell me that she was a tease anyway and that apparently(I wouldn't know since I'm still relatively new) she does this all the time. I asked him for an example and he couldn't give one. I just slumped over and tried working.
Then she came back. I thought she forgot something and didn't even look at her as she approached and pretended to be busy "This is for you Crush, I made it myself", "Huh?" I looked up at this monstrosity of a milkshake covered in cream with cherry's on top :lol :lol I was at a loss for words. "Wow, thank you!" was all I could say, she placed it down and quickly exited before I could say goodbye.
And on the cup, on the side this time, where I couldn't miss it. A stylized(She likes to draw manga characters apparently)"Crush+Catherine" with a giant heart around it. I didn't even drink the milkshake :lol I mean, it couldn't be more blatant than that.
So there it is. It just seems a bit too much though. And before you guys hate on me, it's not that I don't understand or whatever. But there's this nagging feeling I have still, that maybe she just likes me as a friend or whatever, you know, like a good guy friend or whatever? And what my friend said about her being a flirt bothers me as well, because although she does things like this, sometimes she and I don't even say anything. If I ask her out. It causes major trouble either way, first of all: We work together, it'd be difficult to meld both. Secondly, if she says no, it'll be way difficult to work together smoothly, on top of that. I am kind of fine with her as a friend.
So is it okay if I just want to be friends? To be honest GAF, I'm simply not interested in women right now and am content being by myself. I don't NEED to date her just because she might like me right?

Do me a favor and punch yourself in the dick.CrushDance said:Redhead. 10/10 for me anyway(5"8, curvy, pretty smart and is a complete utter game/anime freak) I think she's very attractive for sure. But I don't think I want a relationship, I don't want to force myself into one just to say I have one.

You still haven't learned how to tell a story.CrushDance said:What the fuck? What part of her being cute all of the sudden requires that I go out with her? Do I want a girlfriend right NOW? Not really. Why should i push myself into something that I may not be into at all? Oh right, she likes games and anime, automatic win! I understand what you guys are saying, but it's a bit insulting for you guys to say I should jump in without actually feeling the same way for HER.

Edit: This is what I want. I want to befriend her and become close, take some time and get to know her more and actually DEVELOP feelings for her. If she likes me, she'll hang around too and hell, we might even work it out somehow.

This is what will happen. You'll be friendzone'd, develop feelings for her while forever stuck in the friendzone and come back to this thread months from now asking how to get her to like you. If I'm right you owe me a Pepsi.CrushDance said:Edit: This is what I want. I want to befriend her and become close, take some time and get to know her more and actually DEVELOP feelings for her.

CrushDance said:Okay listen. I know I've said this before, but I'll say it again. To be honest, I would like to ask her out...I do like her too. But, and I know it sounds silly...I don't think I'm good enough yet. Yes, yes, I said the same damn thing last year in this thread, but I did very well since then. I lost a lot of weight(46 pounds), became more outgoing and so forth. But I'm still...chubby and I gorged after that last girl turned me down. I was doing so well and then I became depressed and gained back 12 pounds. I still haven't got my license yet either...She does have a car though.(Deja vu...) But it's not "manly"...
Fuck. Okay, I'll ask her out next time we work or chat on FB. Maybe a movie or dinner. No rush, no pressure...*Sigh* Maybe some LittleBigPlanet I need to stop thinking about how bad I am and just try, I guess.

I have pics. But I'm not posting them, that's a huge breach of privacy/trust, considering I barely know her.
No. If she likes me, REALLY likes me. She'll stay.
No, no she won't. There's this thing called "moving on." It happens when you make women wait too long for the "right moment." I'm using a lot of "quotation marks" to emphasis "things." Seriously though, I've waited too long far too many times. Just do it and if you get shot down then you wasted a lot less time getting shot down.CrushDance said:No. If she likes me, REALLY likes me. She'll stay.
CrushDance said:It's just insane because she really IS that fine and I'm her choice? The guy with nothing? I feel afraid that she might say down the line that I'm not good enough and then move on. That's my biggest fear, not even rejection, but denial later on that it was real.
The Shadow said:Congrats and good for you!
Just to make a point though, it wasn't because you were a "nice guy", it was because you showed interest in her as more than just a friend. Traditionally guys that call themselves "nice guys" don't do that and quickly get friendzoned. That's a huge difference.
But yeah, you can be a nice guy, be sensitive and still get a girlfriend, provided you're not a pushover. That's the key.
-PXG- said:Yes, there are other flavors but vanilla. Enjoy them.
As a black man, I love my vanilla. A LOT.

CrushDance said:Almost called her now -_- Need to slow down. It's 1 in the morning. So what should I do in general anyway? I mean in regards to taking it slow? I don't want to give the wrong impression, but I want to show her that I'm interested.
I waited for a girl before. She never came around, but whatever.
I guess. Even if it doesn't work out, atleast I'll make a great friend out of it.
I just don't want any awkwardness at work.

-PXG- said:Watch out for those angles man. Don't get fooled by them :lol But hey, big girls can be sexy too, as long as they're well proportioned. I have couple of close female friends who have some extra meat on them, but they aren't built like blobs. They still have an elegant, hour glass curve. Oh, and big ass titties too. I'd fuck 'em...what?

EzLink said:There are so many things wrong with this line of thinking I don't even know where to begin
First let me start off by saying I TOTALLY understand the feeling of "not being good enough". I was a fatass myself, and even after shedding 45 lbs I'm still a chubby motherfucker that needs to lose at least 25 more. It bothers me, and my physical self image is perpetually fucked. But guess what? Most of the time, I'm able to not act on those self-defeating thoughts. One of the best pieces advice I gleaned from the previous thread was something along the lines of "never reject yourself before a girl has the chance to do it first". Basically, let HER make the decision on whether or not you are good enough for her. Don't make it for her. Sure, all ladies would love it if every guy they dated and fucked had rock hard abs and a perfect body. But many girls accept the reality that we don't live in an idealized world where we get everything that we want in exactly the way we want it. There are far more important qualities in a human being than their weight and whether or not they have a driver's license
Secondly, DON'T ASK HER OUT OVER FACEBOOK. Jesus man. You see her at work on a regular basis. If you don't have the balls to ask her out to her face, after she has intentionally gone out of her way to brutally murder any art of subtlety left with her intentions, how are you going to have the balls to kiss her? Or to even be able to provide her with an evening of fun? Get all of your bullshit "I'm not good enough" thoughts out of your head. You clearly ARE good enough for her. That poor fucking girl. What the hell else do you want her to do? What could she possibly do differently to make you act on this? You are getting what seems to be an amazing opportunity with literally ZERO EFFORT required on your part. Do you know how hard some of us are working in this thread? How complicated and difficult it is to improve in so many areas just so we can possibly have a chance at finding a girl? And what are you doing? You aren't doing a single goddam thing, and out of nowhere the universe gives you a perfect ten. And your excuse for not doing anything with it is "WELL I AM OVERWEIGHT AND CANT DRIVE SO I GUESS I SHOULD TAKE IT SLOW". Fuck that shit man
