Help? Is this too soon?

Question - (25 February 2009) 22 Answers - (Newest, 13 March 2009)
A male United Kingdom age 18-21, anonymous writes:

OK, I have mustered up the courage to type an email asking the girl I like to join me for a walk and possibly a meal.

I am nervous about sending it though. We have only met 4 times, and only 2 of those were times we had arranged to meet and spend any time together.

I feel it is a bit soon...hope I am wrong. Should I just send it and not worry about that?

Ed1337 agony auntSorry to hear that, as coldplay once sung "how can you blow it if you don't even try". Atleast you went for it and won't regret what might of happened.

guillaume  agony auntHi,

Sorry to hear that! Uggh!!!!! Welcome to the club!!!! :(

Not to worry, at least you went for it and in the future you now know you can ask girls out! Good!

Be polite with her etc but don't take her out anywhere as friends etc as you will be investing in her not as a girlfriend! She had her chance so now move on! Take care, G.

Well she never gave me a reply. No big deal.

We bumped into each other a few days back, which I guess was good, as it least it will avoid awkwardness should we meet again.

Still, her last emails to me seemed written to me in such a way that I cannot be too sure that it would only be a meeting as friends.

A few thoughts:

1. She takes a while to reply anyway.

2. She might still be thinking about it.

3. I suppose it is fortunate that I have not become too attached if she turns me down.

guillaume  agony auntHI,

I doubt she will just come out with "no." People don't like hurting your feelings. Wednesday has passed and she hasn't yet responded but you never know. Seems a bit too long for me as normally it is within three days.(not scientific but for some reason 3 days is a reasonable time) But i do hope for you! G.

Still waiting. It was Wednesday that I asked her. I know she takes a while with emails, but I just get a bad feeling.

If she doesn't want to, why can she not just say?

No not yet. If nothing comes of this then oh well just have to live with it.

Still it hasn't been that long.

I'd rather a refusal than nothing though

Oh well.

I guess it is a big thing to just reply to casually.

If not then, life simply goes on and I shall be content.

Referring to my last post - in that situation in which I describe her and I together, there would of course have to be more to it than that, just, well that part of it would be important to me

Email has been sent. Just waiting now. :)

jessica04- I just love spending time with her. :)

If we were together in a relationship, just being together sharing time would be the best thing ever.

jessica04 agony auntI applaud you with your courage. These days so many people just hook up, call it a relationship, and never get to spend nice, quality time with someone, and then things go south.

I would send it. If you have her number then maybe call her, unless email has been the primary means of communication between you two. At least it's not a text message, which is refreshing.

Just keep it casual sounding, and she should say yes. I don't know why she wouldn't want to.
