Thinking of asking her out again
I asked out my LO last November. She turned down my offer for coffee as a date.
Since then, I've had to see her almost daily, as she is a classmate in college. No contact hasn't been an option for me, and I definitely can't turn off my feelings for her.
However, my life has been going a lot more smoothly otherwise, and I think that's showing with both my appearance and demeanor. I'm simply a more confident person than I was, even since November.
She reacted enthusiastically when I was talking to my friend about doing something particular with my hair. Her friend, who is also a classmate, said I look 10 years younger this semester.
Most people seem to agree that I've been looking a lot better in recent months, even if they don't use that exact terminology.
Maybe I'm silly for thinking I have another shot, but I'm still crazy for her. I can more thoroughly enjoy other aspects of my life now, but I don't want a relationsip with anyone but her. We know each other more now and she doesn't seem uncomfortable around me.
I'm running out of time before the summer break. At the very least, I could have several months of no contact with her. However, I bet it will all come rushing back to me when I start back at school in September.
