    There is guy in my class in college who I have really started liking recently. It is coming towards the end of college time now with the exams on and everything, so I think that if I don't let my intentions be known now he will drift away and we will lose contact over the summer and we could be back to square one come next year, or even worse, he could meet somebody else. The trouble with this short time span is that I have to rush things a bit more than I would like in order to ask him out. We have been just really close friends recently, and I would definitely have asked him out by now if we had been this close at say Christmas, but it has been badly timed. How to I speed things up and ask him out now, or should I just leave it and start again in the new college year? Any advice greatly appreciated.

    If you feel it would be rushed to just blurt it out now, just get some casual meet-ups going for the next while, with more frequency than normal. After a few times of casually hanging out, gauge the situation and then bring it up. Nothing to lose really, the closeness you already have is basis for either a relationship or a strong friendship.

    Might be a stupid question, but are you absolutely certain that he is gay? It would be a big mistake to ask him out if you are not definite about that...

    ^^In fairness, are you 'absolutely certain' every girl you ask out is straight? I'm sure the OP knows what he's doing and even if the guy in question isn't gay, how would it be a 'big mistake' to ask him out? :rolleyes:

    JohnGalt it has been decided that you be permanently banned from the Personal issues and Relationship issues forums for repeated trolling and inconsistencies in your apparent "personal issues". Not so long ago you were complaining your long term girlfriend needed to lose weight, now you're apparently gay. To name but two in a very long list. For which you have been warned and banned before. If you have issue with this please take it to the helpdesk forum; http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=30

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
