ok, so, yesterday, somehow, i asked my crush out. he's my guy best friend, and while we were talking, i just kinda slipped it in there. I ACTUALLY ASKED HIM OUT! this morning when i woke up, it seemed like a dream. but it wasn't. after i asked him out, he replied by saying, "i need time to think". how should i take that? what does that mean? if you asked somebody out and said that, what would you have thought? maybe i'm looking into this too far, but i can't help but do it, cuz i'm so nervous and stuff.
advice_expert101 answered Wednesday November 8 2006, 3:50 pm: I did say the same thing to people when they ask me out. Sometimes I say it because I dont want to hurt the persons feelings and i tell them that i need time, to actaully make it seem like i am considering it. on the other hand, sometimes i really do need to think. it couldnt be that he really needs time to think, or it could but that he doesnt want to hurt your feelings. just dont get your hopes up, but dont think that you dont have a chance.

I wouldn't get to your hopes up and i wouldn't be worried. [ Rainbow23's advice column | Ask Rainbow23 A Question ]

If he says yes, make sure you say somerthing like don't let this ruin our frienship or whatever. You know.
But if he says no, say alright. Were still friends right? In the end, breakup, or never togher, or happy couple. YOU WANT TO BE FRIENDS IN THE END. Well i hope i helped! [ xWACKYJACKIEx's advice column | Ask xWACKYJACKIEx A Question ]
advicecutie22 answered Tuesday November 7 2006, 7:33 pm: Yes...You are taking this to far.
I know it's nerve wrecking when you have to wait for an answer but try not to be so nervous. Look at it this way...
-If he says yes, you guys will be happy
-If he says no, you'll still be happy.
He probably just wants to think about how it will effect your relationship.
Try to calm down a little bit.
Hope I Helped

It doesn't have a hidden meaning. He means exactly what he said. He wants some time to think about it. You probably caught him offguard and he didn't want to jump to a decision before thinking it through. He's probably thinking about the same things that you thought about before asking him out. Give him as much time as he needs and try not to worry so much. I know it'll be hard, but be as calm as you can. :)
