The Relationships Thread of Discussing the Enigma that is Women

[stevencho]

So I'm guessing I shouldn't get her flowers or whatever?

I don't think a girl has ever gotten flowers and thought, "Wow he really wants to just be friends." :P

Yeah, you right you right. So give her the CD and be on my merry way. Cool beans.

I bought my boyfriend some flowers once but some asshole sat on them and I gave him flattened flowers... This was in our first year of high school (years before we started dating...). He didn't care, he liked them.

May just be me, but that seems like a pretty extensive/romantic way to ask her out if you would just be friends. That idea is great though, girls always go for that Just bewarned she may take it as a sign of romantic interest.

I agree, if you're just friends why not just ask he straight up?

I'm not too big a fan of the blueish purple hair

I've realized recently that I am. I wasn't for a long time, but I'm really into tattoos, crazy hair, piercings, all of that stuff now. As long as it's done with moderation of course. I hate over-the-top stuff like enormous gauges or a multitude of piercings in odd places, but a lip ring here and a nose piercing there is really sexy to me. Leda's style is just fucking perfect. I will find a girl like her someday and marry her <3

All of this.

Cause she's pretty down right now, and I think something like this may cheer her up. She's also pretty much one of my closest friends, so I wanna do something special for her!

Oh. Well you don't want her to take it the wrong way and think you want to date her, then let her down with the "just friends" thing.

That makes sense, I guess no flowers it is.

I don't understand my life.

I've known this girl for three years now. I consider her to be my best friend, and she has told me many times that I'm her best male friend, short of her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend broke up with her about two weeks ago. Without telling the entire story, she made a mistake, and he couldn't forgive her for it. It was a disgustingly rough breakup, and he was very rude about the entire thing, especially considering how upset she was.

Anyway, I was there for her through the entire process, even before it happened. The day they broke up, she came to me. In the days that followed, I was there for her, supporting her, encouraging her. By the end of the week, she was claiming that she was ready to find someone more mature... that she can do better than him. This was largely helped by a VERY rude email he sent to her essentially telling her never to speak to him again, because she obviously never loved him.

Anyway, in the week that has followed, she and I have become very close, chatting late into the night and getting to know each other fairly well. I sent her an email a few nights ago asking her if she would be in class in a few weeks for our next and also last class period. I told her that I wanted to say goodbye, and if she would not be there for that class period, that I would find a way to get to campus to say goodbye on a different day.

Her response? She texted me for the first time and told me that we should hang out. She asked me if I would like to go hiking with her in a few weeks.

1) We've never hung out. Even though we're good friends, our friendship has always been limited to being in-class. Neither of us have ever shown an interest in meeting outside of class.

2) It was entirely her idea. I just told her I wanted to say goodbye after class. Meeting up and spending the day hiking was her idea.

3) Hiking is one of the few things she used to do with her ex on the days they would have dates. She would always post about her great hiking trips online.

Moving on to today, we spent about 9 hours today texting each other. We talked about any number of things, and we learned a lot about each other. At one point I texted her and said "Now you know more than you ever wanted to know about me" and she said "That's not a bad thing ". Later, we were talking about a movie, and I said "Wow, I really need to see that movie again, now that you've reminded me how awesome it was". Her response? We're now meeting AGAIN the day AFTER our hiking trip to go see the movie together. Again, her idea.

I'm confused.

[Spiderpig24]

I'm confused.

How are you confused? It sounds like things seem to be going pretty well.

[TheKoopaDasher]

How are you confused? It sounds like things seem to be going pretty well.

I'm confused because I'm not sure what any of this means. Her response "That's not a bad thing " completely unnerved me. Where is she coming from? What are her expectations? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm going to the movie and I'm going hiking and it will be one of the best days of my life, simply because it's her and I've never done anything with her that was less than spectacular. I just want to know where the line ends. Is this her attempt at trying out a relationship with someone else? With her self-proclaimed "best male friend" after she said she "needs someone more mature" and "can do better"? Or is this simply her acknowledging that we are good friends and we will both miss one another after graduation, and it will be nice to spend some time together? That's why I'm confused.

Ah I see, you seem to be digging to deep into it. I would just go with it and see what comes of everything, try not to set your expectations to high.

[beardedwalrus]

She wants the dick, bro.

[master_general]

Koopa, I would be glad to be in that situation. To me, it sounds like she wants to be closer, friend-wise or relationship. To me, that would be the best is going on a hangout that would in turn get you closer to that person.

It was going pretty well, but I had to dump her because I found out she was a he.
