This girl sounds kinda gooood. High maint? check. Catholic check? dreamed about? check send her my way if things don't work out? Thanks
You know what? I know that it is supposedly a big deal to get your shot blocked and have it go out of bounds, but it was never really a big deal to me. My team retains possession of the ball, and I learned about my defender's shot blocking tendencies.
Get out of jr high mode and talk to her like an adult. If she wants to be friends, be friends. What's the worse that can happen? You're already prepared for the friend zone.
If it helps any, I dreamed I was bonin an ex-gf last night. It was funny, in the dream I knew it wouldn't work out, but yet we ended up having sex anyway.
It makes sense. You don't want to think about her but can't help it. So you get rejected and remove the possibility of an actual relationship from the table. Until it's off the table 100% for sure you won't be able to stop thinking about it. Since you aren't super close friends with a long history it's not she's a part of your life that you won't be able to get along with out.
been there done that made my move playa style. got rejected. laughed about it over a beer with my bros later go for it. Getting rejected is kind of fun imo.
I FULLY support the original idea for intentional rejection. No additional ideas are needed, expect don't shower, dont brush your teeth, wear jorts with sandals & socks, & talk about how the Euroleague is threatening US basketball or something...
Just try and plant a kiss on her already... if she allows it, you're her guy. If not... it's done. or Pass her a note that reads: If you like me check [ ] Yes If you don't check [ ] No
Why do you go after your co-worker? I think it is always a bad idea. If you get rejected, you still have to see her everyday. Isn't it more painful?
If you don't think it will work long-term, and you're not looking to score short-term, why don't you just admit your feelings to her? The thing that feeds a crush more than anything is the secrecy of it. Admitting your feelings is not a move that will score a ton of points romantically, but it is the best thing for the friendship.
