    hey hey!


    here's the story,
    there is this girl in my year, we'll call her ann.


    ann joind my year about a year ago, we are both in 6th year and regularly talk,(Break's,ect)

    ann is a wonderfull girl except for the fact that she hangs around with the "popular" croud in my class. i dont. yet we get on well.


    it's a small class and Everyone know's everyone. know what i mean. everyone know's everyone else's business and private stuff. something i dont like.

    now a week after she joined my year i had an acident, and was in plaster for 2 months. she signed my cast and everything, and i think at that moment i fell for her.
    now i spent the last hour talking to her on icq, trying up to get the courage to ask her out, but failed. we still meet up as "friend's" and i'm seeing her tomorrow.



    any advice on how i could ask her out?


    cheers in advance.....

    Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?

    Seriously though, just ask.
    She says no? Who gives a damn. Anyway everyone else in the class probably wants to do the exact same thing as you but don't have the guts. If you are rejected keep in mind that there are maybe another 3 billion woman out there (works down to about 400 million if you get rid of the ugly ones, underage, and poor).

    Anyway college next year so (hopefully) you will never see any of them again, I know I can't wait.

    You kept the cast, didn't you :p I bet you did!

    Anyway, maybe ask over ICQ if she'd like to grab a coffee/dinner/shag or whatever?

    It is what it's.

    Next time you meet her in the corridor, tell her you want to take her out.

    Confidently.

    No point in saying "Ah, um, err, do you think you might erm, uh, ah maybe want to go out some time"? Oh, and look her straight in the eye when you do it to. Make her feel wanted.

    be cool about it, just mention it in the middle of a conversation as if it aint a big deal, if she says no then ya can just say ''ok cool no prob'' and forget about it,, but if ya make a big deal out about it then things might be a lil awkward after if she says no.... but she may say yes.

    Jeez whats the hurry ???

    Get to know the girl, find out a bit more about her - her likes, dislikes, try to get a feel for what she thinks about you before diving in. Chill out, you've obviously got her attention so far but try to figure out whether or not it's just sympathy.

    You risk losing a friend if you force it now. The advice above about mentioning it in passing is good ! Ask if you can join as part of a group of her friends so there is no pressure to commit. That way you will find out if there is that kind of interest ! Maybe then you will be in an atmosphere where asking her out again with her group of her friends will show you're interested but again not put pressure on her but show you are interested in being with her !

    It's not unusual for some females to just want a friend ya' know, she may just see you as a friend, someone to talk to who she finds interesting. Doesn't mean she wants to jump on you ! It's always good to have someone to confide in without the complications of boyfriend/girlfriend, when this ends it's rare that you wil still "be friends" afterwards.

    ask her out, make it sharpish. if u hang around being her shoulder to cry on blah-de-blah she'll never see you as a possible mate. you'll be 'friend', which is, be honest, not what you want, you want to be her boyfriend.

    and if she says no, it'll be awkward, but you'll get over it, so will she.

    get out there lad, give it loads.

    Ye're both in 6th year. In a few months one or both of you maybe going to college/university/elsewhere. The reason you're able to talk to each other is through school. She may be entirely different outside school in different surroundings with different people. Asking her to do something as friends would help get to know her a little better, and see then how you feel about her. But do it before you go your seperate ways.

    Go drinking with her, both of you get drunk, have drunken sex.

    Next day it's either

    A) start of a beautiful friendship

    B) a drunken mistake, let's pretend it didn't happen (don't get her up the duff either, you hear me)

    Worst that can happen is you get some sex.

    just go for it
    you have nothing to lose if you ask her out and if you dont you will regret it for ages and ages!

    better to regret something you did rather than something you DIDNT do!
    life is sometimes too short!

    Jaysus lad, do they not have grads any more? Ask her to it. Perfect opportunity. Be confident about it, but don't make it a big deal.

    If she says something like "as friends?", shrug and say "sure. If you want it that way". Be confident, let her know you fancy her but don't fawn about her at all. Don't worry about which "crowd" you're hanging with. Just be yourself. What's to be afraid of? Are your mates gonna take the piss if she says no?

    And if they are? What are they slagging you for? For having more balls than they do.

    The key to the whole thing is not being embaressed about liking her.
