Expert: Matt Date: 5/26/2008 Subject: what should i do
Question Ok so I'm going to camp for about 9 weeks as a counselor last year this was this girl I liked but, I was very shy and didn't talk to her. She eventually found out I liked her but, it was already to late she liked this other guy which she later said was annoying and would have rather given me a chance. Last year I only went for 2 weeks so we barely got to know each other now we are spending the whole summer as counselors and we have talked a since then. I wanna ask her out any suggestions how much space should I giver her should I wait after the first week or two any suggestions out all what questions to ask her how should i start out talking to her what situations to talk to her in. Im very inexperienced in relationships I haven't had a girl friend in a long time I would really appreciate any and all advice.
Answer Hello Jake.
This question isn't really one that involves a big explination. Just a couple tips here & there, and hopefully that will be enough to help.
First of all; you're right in your time-range of when to ask her out. There's a chance she's already in a relationship now, since it's been a year, so don't get all your hopes set on that one thing. However; you should wait and give her space. Talk, get to be closer friends. Find out how you've each been, what you've both been doing and have been through, etc. After waiting a while, probably a couple weeks is good, ask her. Say something like "we've been friends for a while now, so I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me". Just something like that. You're basically telling her you've been thinking about it, and are really interested in her, in a nice way.
Things to talk to her about, are just about anything you'd talk with your other friends about. How you've been. What you've been doing. What you do in free & spare-time. Etc. Just basic common friendly-conversation-starters. Just get to re-know eachother, and go from there.
I hope that this has been helpful, and feel free to ask Follow-Up Questions, or leave any comments.
Thanks, and goodluck. -Matty-
