Love and Basketball. Go for it before you enter the friendzone, middle ground between light and shadow tururururuturu
you're the one that needs to chill and JUST ASK HER OUT PS. Relationship threads on clutch are my favorite. I hate to pile on OP but this may be one of the most obvious and simple "advice" threads here about relationships. I mean, there is a girl that you like and has shown some interest in you. She's single and available for dating...and you still don't know what to do? Am i taking crazy pills?
I hear you but you're never going to get your pee pee wet with that approach. You're going to have to make a definitive move on her to let her know this is not just a friend thing. Not just asking her out but while on your date make a strong move. You know, hold her hand, kiss her...pull your junk out..the usual stuff
You obviously like her. Just put it out there plain and simple, so you know where you stand. Once I matured, I was always direct (not read as be an ass). I ain't got time for the boo-siet. It's like Chris Rock said. "See, if you just said it right, you'd been in there...now you got dry balls."
Tell her that her looks are border line good enough for you. And that you have been on the fence about asking her out since you guys have met. But you want to give it a chance to see if her personality could bring her up a few notches to an acceptable level. If this doesn't work then I honestly don't know what to tell you.
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: hell Yes. You never regret taking a chance. You will regret not taking a chance.
From my limited interaction with this thread, she sounds like a real b. Since you are a coach, you should demote her to the D- League.
Is the girl white or Hispanic? Are you Asian or Indian? If so - friend zoned. The only way to break the friend zone in this situation is to stick around until she has destroyed all other possible sexual relationships and her ovaries are beginning to shrivel up; and then she might throw you a bone and give you the privilege of supporting her. Are you insecure but not an *******? Don't worry, by 35 you will likely be able to date. If you are a good guy and responsible; find the same in who you date. However look out as some good girls want horribly irresponsible sexual partners. If she makes references to wanting to be dominated by Lorenzo Llamas or the Portland Trialblazers; ABANDON SHIP. Drama? Unrealistic expectations? That only gets worse.... claw yourself out of the relationship NOW. Last realize that when you are desperate women pick up on it and will take advantage of you. Also they know they are screwing with you and know you want to drop anchor - they don't care, it is attention and it is free and string free attention. Courtesy of my wife... with my comments added. If you want to ask her out... then ask her out but have no expectations because it doesn't sound like this girl has any interest in anything serious.
