Should I tell her I admire her and lie and say we never met?
Question Posted Wednesday March 14 2012, 10:45 pm
Hi, I ve read your answer about one guy's problem with letting know that he loves a girl over the distance. If you help me out as well, i ll appreciate that.
There is a girl, who is 20 and i befriended her on fb. I used to be with her in the same school thats how i saw her, it was a love at first sight. Then, she never knew me and i couldnt tell her about my feelings, because i am a trans-man. But over 5 years i cannot stop thinking about my strong feelings towards her. I know we could have a chance in a long run, but i live now thousand miles from her and she just recently asked me over fb - how do i know her.
Should i tell her that i admire her or should i say that we never met and i want to get to know her better and tell more about myself if she is interested, of course.
Thanks a lot.

Tell he you went to school together and you remember she seemed cool/awesome/whatever word works for you. If you want a conversation, ask her what she is up to these days.
HOWEVER, having feelings like "I know we could have a chance in a long run..." with a person you have never spoken too, who is a thousand miles away, and who you haven't even seen in five years - that's not a rational approach to a conversation with her. That's a fantasy. Fantasies are fine, but other people are not necessarily going to appreciate them or fulfill them.
A rational approach is to keep a cool head and ask her about herself, and share about yourself, to see if you on are the same page.
Remember: You wont be on the same page with MOST people in the universe. You have very, very little reason to believe this woman - who you basically don't know at all - will be a long term match for you. That doesn't mean you can't strike up a conversation, but be realistic and respectful about it. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
