My friend told me the other day that the men she knows tend to hold back until they are absolutely, totally and utterly sure that the woman likes them before they will ask her out.


Your friend's advice is spot on, hurtloam, so follow her advice; behave in a way that makes your crush totally sure that you like him lol.

Oh wait....since someone here mentioned "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus", I remember now that you women don't like to hear practical solutions from men when you complain.... you just want to be listened and get hugs instead.


..... hugs? hmm

Yeah, I know she's right. I wanted her to tell me whether he was interested in me or not. That's what I wanted.

I don't want to look like a total fool, but I'll keep at it and see how I get on. I will bet he still won't like me back though.

LOL grumpy cat :)

I don't really know what to do to make him realise I like him. Wouldn't it be fab if we could just tell people the blunt truth. "hey I like you more than all the other guys I've met", but that's not socially acceptable.

You could go up to him, grab him, and tell him you really want to kiss him. Then kiss him hard. That's usually socially acceptable. Then after kissing him, you could ask him if he wants to kiss you back. :ninja:

And, if he doesn't, she'll probably have a worse problem than a man does when he's rejected---she'll be branded a desperate slut for the rest of her life.

Socially acceptable only in the movies. :roll:

Is it socially acceptable to ask for a kiss? Please tell me, nurseangela.

Not the way he was saying it - you don't just go and kiss someone out of the blue unless you know them pretty well. If a guy did that to me he'd be very lucky not to get slapped - and I don't slap people.

Movies are movies.

hurtloam, have you ever considered that it maybe something in ....your looks?

Most people aren't entirely honest about that, I know that the people around me were never been so.

Yes of course I have. I'm female. Its ingrained. I'm constantly wondering if I look ok. I never leave the house without make up. I am obsessive about what I wear. I never look like a slob.

I'm luckier that some. I have a natural hour glass figure. I've never been fat. Only down side is I look tired all the time at the mo because I'm stressed with work.

I'm taller than most women. I'm only 5'6" but I seem to be surrounded by much shorter women. So I am quite self conscious about my height.

The ball is in my court, but I don't know what to do with it.

What do you mean by the ball is in your court? Did he make a first move?

If you wish people could speak that way, guaranteed there are other people who wish the same. So perhaps, the right guy for you would love you bluntly telling him you like him.

I remember one time I turned to a guy I fancied and just blurted "are you interested in me?". While he was shocked at my candour, he answered positively and we dated.

wish I could just tell women I like them. but sister says it would creep them out and cause them to cut all communication. instead after waiting 2 weeks I sent a reply about a game and now its been two more weeks and she hasn't read it beyond the notification of getting it. darned if I do possible darned if I don't. :(

Let's put pressure on hurtloam to ask him out for THIS weekend.

It's either now or never.

pressure causes more anxiety.
