she never makes eye contact. I actually turned around one time tonight and caught her eye - she looked away almost immediately.

speaking from personal experience on doing the same(yes i know im a guy ), that might mean she actually likes you.

If you're giving up, I say might as well go for broke and lay all your cards on the table. What's the worst that could happen? Worst case scenario, she says "no", and you can get over her. Best case scenario, she says "yes", you get married, and name your first born son after me.

Then again, what do I know? I'm just some guy on the Internet. You do whatever makes you happy.

SPIRIT is a god. Everyone should name their kids after him.

Go for it. Pretty much worst thing you can get is no. Unless you're me.

In my case, I got no then 2 weeks later, said person is dating my best friend. Sorta sucks, but you have to accept some things. If they were meant to be, they will.

Well, just don't dwell on it for too long. I've been puttering around with asking one girl I know out for years now. After a long time of consideration and realizations, I realized that not only is she just not that interested in me, but that there are so many others around me that I could take a liking to, who could share the same feeling. People I'd never thought of until I gave up the idea of "It must be her." A lot more ways to go and different people to meet than I've realized.

Quoteth for truth.

I know the feeling...I've never spent years thinking about asking a girl out, but it certainly takes me weeks...or months. But yeah, sometimes you really do have to just move on if you realize there's no mutual feelings. Which absolutely sucks.

I know. Same thing with her avoiding talking to me...but it seems so much more likely that it's a way of saying she doesn't like me.

True. I was just remarkably depressed on Friday; thinking about it again - you're right. Might as well do something if I've decided to do nothing...

Spirit would be a great name for a kid, by the way. Assuming it's in the sense of being an attitude of inspiration.

That's terrible - I'm sorry. Though for the record, unless your friend didn't know you asked her out, that's a pretty nasty thing to do...

And I know it always seems as simple as the worst being no...but I always think of what it's going to be like after that. How I'll feel, how she'll feel/act...I believe part of my problem is over-analysis.

So today, I say I'll ask her out. Come Friday, I'll probably decide not to...but we can hope my small shred of confidence might survive the week.
