Love and the opportunity that wasn't there...

[Triple H]

I was just taking a break from my schoolwork, and I was reflecting back on the school year, on how fast it's gone. Then I reflected back on the girl whom I had an interest in stemming back to last summer.

We worked together in the library (it's the only job I could find) last summer. She worked the later shift (9:00-6:00) and I had worked the early shift (8-4:30). I hardly knew her before we started working at the same place, but we had talked a little bit.

Then, while I was working with her in the summer, I got to know her a lot better from little two-minute conversations we would have throughout the day, and I developed a "thing" for her. I had always wanted to ask her out, but the opportunity never arose. She worked in a different part of the library. She had her lunch break an hour after mine. I couldn't talk to her after I was off work because my supervisor didn't like it.

Then she went study abroad last semester. This semester, she's student-teaching. She'll be graduating in a month. I'll never get that opportunity to ask her out. :cry:

Thanks for letting me share this with you. I don't know what to do with this situation, but it looks as though I can't do anything.

Love stinks.

1. Look, if you want comfort, we will give it to you but it is action you

need. If you are serious about this, then a small amount of detective work will reveal where she is student teaching. Find her, call, e-mail or go to see her and ask her out. If she says no, you tried and you will feel better for the attempt. Blessings.

2. What's the use?

She's graduating. I'm going to be here still.

Thanks for the advice, though.

3. How the heck far is here from there? Do you really like this person

or is this just a lovely dream?

4. I really like her.

5. If that is true, get to work tonight finding out where she is right now .

Think about what you want to say to her before you go to bd tonight and contact her tomorrow. What in the world do you have to lose? If she is not interested, so you are a little embarrassed. At least you tried and you know how she feels. GET TO WORK. Do you know any of her girlfriends? Can you get info from your job? If you do nothing, you will always wonder. This way you are strong and brave and you can be happy and proud of your attempt. Good luck.

6. Hmmm...

I guess I could talk to my supervisor to find out this stuff. I don't know about her friends, though, because I think a few of them were done last semester.

Isn't this a little creepy, though? I haven't talked to her in a couple months (since December).

I'll give it a shot, I guess. :shrug:

9. You have a PERFECT situation

you haven't spoken to her in a while; she is graduating soon.

Find her, tell her you've been thinking of her; etc. If she's interested, you can work out the logistics; if she's not, she has a great out.

Worst-case scenario; you never ask, and spend the next however-many years wondering, coulda woulda shoulda. Trust me on this, it's ALWAYS better to know for certain how she would reply.
