Question Posted Wednesday September 6 2006, 3:40 pm
13/f there is this guy we will call him "Fred". At a party I went to my friend found out that Fred liked me. My friend is really good friends with Fred, but I am not. My friend asked me if i would go out with Fred. I replyed that I would like to get to know him better before we went out. He felt rejected, and interperted it as me saying, get away from me you freak," but thats not how i meant it. I know he is going to ask me out, and i really do want to get to know him, who knows maybe i'll satrt liking him. He does not have a screename and doesn't pick up his cell. He is in one of my classes, and i don't want to talk to him in front of a lot of people, what can i do to get to know him better and convince him that I really do want to get to know him and i wasn' just saying that to get him away. Any tips aprreciated. Thanks

Tell him that you are sorry he misinterupreted (is that how that's spelled??) you, but that you would truthly like to make plans to hang out-just casual at first. Then make plans for a day and time you would defintely be able to make. If it's right after soccer pracitice or half an hour before your favorite tv show comes out, it might not be a good idea to schedule to meet him then. A good time to hang out might be a weekend when you have no plans. The worst thing would be for you to accidently miss hanging out with him and then he might think that you really dont like him. Always remember to return his calls and make plans again. Hope I helped. [ eas09ixo's advice column | Ask eas09ixo A Question ]

in reply to your feedback comment;
it's good that you're doing it online. as for what to say, i really don't know. bring up the party and ask what he thought when your friend told him your answer. after he tells you, tell him what you really meant. then go on about wanting to get to know him. and such. if you need anymore help, OMGFATFACEE is my aim screename =] [ chaN3l_n_McR's advice column | Ask chaN3l_n_McR A Question ]
