Question Posted Tuesday September 25 2007, 9:38 pm
I like this girl who used to like me. I missed my chance to ask her out and she moved on. The problem is, I haven't. I've never really had a short crush, they always last at least a few years. I feel very strong affection for her. We are still friends, and she knows how I feel about her, along with the rest of our friends. I am made fun of for it, it usually doesn't bother me, but sometimes does. Nobody seems to understand how I feel about her, everyone just keeps telling me to "like someone else, it's not that hard." What should I do?
Additional info, added Tuesday September 25 2007, 10:17 pm: Let me add that when we are together with people, she makes jokes about how everyone there is attractive but me, it's all in good fun, but she does it like every time. The only times she doesn't treat me badly are when we hang out alone. Then she is really cool to me. But we have been hanging out alone less and less.
I should also mention that she's a cynic. I'm not very good looking... she liked me for my personality, until I introduced her to my friends. Until then, we only used to hang out alone, but after I introduced them, we only hanged out with them. She finds two of my friends very physically attractive, and one of those also has an attractive personality. Then she decided looks were a little more important, and her feelings for me faded..

But I think the best thing to do, is just to put yourself out there. Don't be in the shadows while your "friends" are standing in the limelight. Basically you are allowing her to believe that you just want to be friends because she must not know how you feel. Ok, you don't have to be the best looking guy in the world to attract someone. I just hope it doesn't take her forever to see that looks are only skin deep. Gradually tell her how you feel. Show her the feelings you have for her, or she just won't know.
I wish you lots of luck. [ mskris3dd's advice column | Ask mskris3dd A Question ]
