Too much in common

    There's this girl (as there always is). She's a friend's housemate's friend. We've met at a couple of parties and bumped into each other out and about. I know there has been some mutual digging. Truth is I've been starting to count down until our next possible encounters and I was just about psyched up to ask her out. I'm not the kind of guy who asks every girl I meet out and God knows I'm not the kind of guy that has every girl in town chasing me but I just realised that this girl is really something special and thought she was thinking similar thoughts.

    Having quite a bit in common, I was really thrown by the latest thing it turns out we have in common.... our surname. The last time we met, I thought she was being a little cool at first. I'm really not one for blatant flirting and I haven't been directing conversations in that direction but quickly we were finishing each others' sentences again. I asked her where she worked and she produced her business card and said the number is for work hours only. I thought it was weird to be handed a business card at that point but when I saw the surname it all made sense.

    Suffice to say I've been completely deflated since. I really like this girl and I've been racking my brain as to ways of finding out if we are related. My surname is not uncommon in this area and having gotten to this hour of my life without previously meeting her, I can't help but think we are probably not related in any meaningful way. I know a little facebook fishing might be in order but I don't have an account any more.

    Part of me is glad I kept things light and friendly but part of me is just so disappointed. I'll be glad of any thoughts you may have, people of Boards.

    why didnt you just bring it up when you realised it, and make a joke of how you both have the same surname and does this mean your related :) that way a conversation would have happened you could of said your parents/grandparents story and she could have told you hers and you would have know????

    as for not having a facebook page, its hardly brain surgery re activating your old one or even open up another one, and friending her

    next time you bump into her just ask, its no biggy and it saves any trauma in the future should you hook up and you end up sleeping with your cousin or even worse your sister who was adopted :eek:
