I need help

About a year ago i started to become friends with a girl, and at the time she had a boyfriend, we would text sometimes but just about some business stuff nothing personal. At the time we would just have random conversations whenever we saw one another. After the business that were had finished I didn’t see her for months, and during that period her and her boyfriend broke up. It’s been about 8 months I think. The thing is from the moment I saw her I was attracted to her and when I started talking to her I really fell for her. Although im young I’ve never met a woman like this she is just amazing, no matter how much we talk she still makes me so nervous. For me just seeing her could make a bad day good, and im not just saying that, i mean if I had a bad day and she just says hey it would make me feel better. There is just something about her, and I can’t even put it into words.

Over the time that I didn’t see her for months we didn’t text or call or have any communication even though I wanted to, but I knew she had a boyfriend so I wanted to respect that. When I ran into her outside the building that I work at we talked for a bit then she told me to text her and I did, she texted me back then I texted her again then she didn’t respond.

A few months went by and I ran into her again and we sat and talked for over an hour. Now every time we run into one another we sit and talk. Recently I ran into her and we sat and talked for over two hours.

The thing is she sometimes leaves my messages on delivered for days, and when I asked about it she said thats just how she is with texting, and I believe it because whenever we run into one another shes never on her phone and gives me her undivided attention.

I have tried to ask her out but it was on short notice, that was my fault because I asked a few hours before. Then she had told me about this thing that she thought would be fun, and I asked about two weeks later and forgot she told me that she has a weekly obligation, again my bad. I have asked her to go get food but at that time she was busy again. The thing is I know for a fact that she is busy, because like I said we did some business together.

I just don’t understand because she is literally so excited to see me in person, I mean one time she even came running with the biggest smile but when I try to schedule a time to see her she doesn’t even try to recommend another day or time to hangout. It could be that I wasn’t clear that I wanted to take her out on a date and she think I’m just being friendly.

I just don’t know what to do, maybe this is just something that I have to give time, but I need some advice, I would like to see the person of both women and men so I would appreciate if you could include your gender if that’s ok with you.

Thank you for the help!

I just don’t know what to do anymore

Life has just been difficult since I was a child. Growing up my dad was always sick, he having seizures and had cancer. He had a drinking problem and use to hit the bottle pretty heavy. As a child I felt embarrassed he would always be falling over drunk and I feel like every time people spoke a bou him they always talked about how he used to be but they still saw him as an alcoholic. Growing up it always felt like he never liked us he would always get drunk come home and treat us like shit and talked to us like shit, but he never hit us. We were kinda broke with my mom being the only one that would provide for us because he would always spend his money on alcohol. 3 years ago his cancer came back and before he had left to go to a different country we weren’t on speaking terms. After finding out that he had cancer again we started to talk again. For months I watched him slowly fade away. He told me that he was only hard on me because he wanted me to get it. At the time I didn’t question it because I was just trying to spend the remaining time with him. Now i am wondering what he really ment by this, was the purpose of treating me like shit to show me that life wasn’t going to be easy or that I would never be happy, but regardless now I can’t really ask him anymore. I sat at his funeral thinking about all the negative things that he had said and done just so I wouldn’t cry.

After he died, a few months later my mom started to date someone else. I was upset by this I don’t exactly know why, I think I was trying to protect her but obviously people don’t care about how their actions affect you as long as they’re happy. Our relationship took a turn for the worst, I said and did some things that I deeply regret, and even though she forgave me I still feel like shit. Me and her were so close and now things have changed so much, although we got through the rough patches things are still not the same as they once were.

Im a 24 year old male and I have never been in love, I have never experienced it. In middle school there was a girl that I met she was so kind. I told her that I liked her and she laughed at me in front of everyone, I was younger then so I cried from embarrassment and people took a video and laughed at me. My friend who I had told that I liked her encouraged me to try again because maybe she just did that because she was in front of her friend. I did and she said no, I found out after we graduated that they were in a relationship, he was helping me but had his own agenda. I tried again a few times and of course failed.

Recently I became friends with this girl and I started, she is one of the nicest persons I’ve met in a long time and has the sweetest personality. Although we are still friends I have tried to ask her out and have tried to just do things to see her, but she’s always busy, and I know that’s true because she I know what she does for work and it’s very difficult. I came to the realization that she doesn’t like me because when I tried to schedule something she doesn’t suggest a different time or unless I text first I won’t hear from her. Honestly it’s fine that she doesn’t like me, maybe im just not the right person for her. She is a really nice person though so I hope she can find a nice person to be with, she deserves it.

What bothers me is that I was so stupid to let myself feel this way, I knew exactly what I’ve dealt with in the past. But yet I still felt hope that I could have something good and feel happiness. They say look for the light at the end of the road but both the road behind and in front of me are dark so I don’t know which way to turn. Im wondering if this is what my dad was trying to teach me.

What should I do next?

So there is a girl that I’m friends with and work for different companies but the buildings are close. I don’t see her often, only when I run into her randomly and with my luck it’s rare. Now the thing is she is very busy, and I know this because we met because our work did a collaboration for a charity and that’s how we met. We worked together for a few months but during that time I found out she had a boyfriend. It’s now been almost a year since we did the charity work and her and her boyfriend broke up during the start of summer last year. Like I said recently I have seen her a few times at random and we have talked. On Monday I ran into her and we talked for over 2 hours until I had to go. I asked her out but it was on short notice so she couldn’t go (I asked her the day of). So another time we ran into each other and she told me about something she thought I would find fun. As we were getting ready to head back to our separate jobs I kinda thought I heard her say we could do it together but idk. When we got up and started to walk back towards the buildings were we work she stopped and paused for a second, I think she was waiting for me to hug her but I am not sure, after I didn’t, because I’m not going to lie she makes me kinda nervous so my heart was kind of racing and when that happens I do stupid things. After I didn’t do anything she walked a few more feet with me until we had to go out separate ways. After about a week I asked her if she wanted to go try the thing that she recommended and she couldn’t because she was busy with work. She takes a long time to respond to text and I thought I was the issue so I asked and she said she doesn’t mind and that thats just how she is. I do believe her because when ever I see her at random she does give her undivided attention and is never on her phone. The thing is I don’t have any experience with this type of thing, I haven’t talked to a girl that I really liked with the hope of getting to know them better/ having a relationship with them in years.

So I need some help

Is there a possibility that she even likes me?

If she does how do I take things slow and get to know her more when I can’t see her that often?

What should I do?

I am friends with a girl and I developed feelings for her. She’s a really nice girl with the sweetest personality and in one word perfect. The thing is I have never had any luck with dating, I’ve been single my whole life, never had any luck gf a situation ship or loved anyone in a romantic way. Today, I realized how sad my life really is not just because of the relationship thing but other things. Tbh life just always feels bad, it always feels difficult, people always say it’s going to get better but when it does it doesn’t last long. I looked in the mirror and thought damn if I was a woman I don’t think I would like me. I honestly don’t know what to do she’s such a nice girl and I don’t know which one would be better the regret or the rejection. I try to avoid these feelings but it’s so difficult when you meet such genuine people. I need some advice?

I need some help

So there is a girl that I’m friends with who I developed feelings for, I met her through work, we work at two different places but the buildings are very close together and sometimes we collaborate for charity events. We were paired together for something and I got her number for work, in person we would talk about just random stuff, and sometimes we would text about work stuff during this time I started to like her because she is a very nice person. I found out that she had a boyfriend. After the project was done I had to go away for work for a few month for a work project.

When I came back I saw her sitting outside and we talked for a bit but I was on my way somewhere so I couldn’t stay. She told me to text her to remind her to send her something that we had discussed before. Based on that small interaction I got the impression that her and her boyfriend broke up but it was a rough breakup although she didn’t straight up tell me.

I sent her a text and she did respond, and told me that she hadn’t finished working on it yet and told remind her again so I didn’t try to and she didn’t respond to that one, after about a month I saw her again and we talked for over an hour until she had to leave we texted have off and on texting and she still does the same thing were she keeps the conversation going but leaves it on delivered, but I noticed that whenever we’re talking in person she’s never on her phone I asked just to make sure and she said she’s just bad at it.

I asked her to go out and it was short notice, but although she said she’s just bad though the idea was fun she didn’t recommend another day. Another time when I just randomly ran into her she told me about something that she thought I would find fun. When we were getting ready to head back to our separate offices I thought I heard her say we could go together but you know how when you get nervous your mind is kind of racing so I am not one hundred percent sure that’s what she said. When we were about to part ways she paused and looked at me and there was a moment of silence, then she turned and walked a few mor feet with me until we had to part ways. I assume she might have wanted me to give her a hug but that could just be me really liking her and not thinking clearly.

I was sitting outside one day because we get one 30 minute break throughout the day and she saw me and came running and looked happy. But she’s naturally a very joyful and happy person with the nicest personality.

Recently I saw her and we sat and talked for over 3 hours until she had to go. The thing is she is very hard working and is very busy and I understand that.

She told me that she’s getting a promotion at work and I am going to get her a gift, but during the time that she’s getting the promotion I am leaving again for a few months for work so I’m in a difficult place right now because she’s so busy and I don’t want to be selfish thinking about only myself. She told me that the promotion will give her more time and I want to ask her out before I leave but I don’t want her to feel like I only gave her the gift because I wanted to ask her out because thats not the reason im actually happy for her. I was thinking of just texting her after a week or two of her promotion, so that I don’t ruin the moment. It’s fine if she doesn’t like me but I just don’t want it to be something we’re I just give up and regret for the rest of my life. Could I please get some advice on this situation?

I need help

So there is a girl that I’m friends with who I developed feelings for, I met her through work, we work at two different places but the buildings are very close together and sometimes we collaborate for charity events. We were paired together for something and I got her number for work, in person we would talk about just random stuff, and sometimes we would text about work stuff during this time I started to like her because she is a very nice person. I found out that she had a boyfriend. After the project was done I had to go away for work for a few month for a work project.

When I came back I saw her sitting outside and we talked for a bit but I was on my way somewhere so I couldn’t stay. She told me to text her to remind her to send her something that we had discussed before. Based on that small interaction I got the impression that her and her boyfriend broke up but it was a rough breakup although she didn’t straight up tell me.

I sent her a text and she did respond, and told me that she hadn’t finished working on it yet and told remind her again so I didn’t try to and she didn’t respond to that one, after about a month I saw her again and we talked for over an hour until she had to leave we texted have off and on texting and she still does the same thing were she keeps the conversation going but leaves it on delivered, but I noticed that whenever we’re talking in person she’s never on her phone I asked just to make sure and she said she’s just bad at it.

I asked her to go out and it was short notice, but although she said she’s just bad though the idea was fun she didn’t recommend another day. Another time when I just randomly ran into her she told me about something that she thought I would find fun. When we were getting ready to head back to our separate offices I thought I heard her say we could go together but you know how when you get nervous your mind is kind of racing so I am not one hundred percent sure that’s what she said. When we were about to part ways she paused and looked at me and there was a moment of silence, then she turned and walked a few mor feet with me until we had to part ways. I assume she might have wanted me to give her a hug but that could just be me really liking her and not thinking clearly.
