When I finally gathered the courage to ask her on a date, I learned that she found someone else, have I waited too long?

Question - (3 September 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 6 September 2008)
A male United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Well basically I have a friend, we used to work together and we talk to each other a lot. I always wanted to ask her out, but I was nervous. You see every girl I have ever had any involvement with has ended in disaster, usually really really badly.

Now everyone at the work said they thought she liked me so that kind of made me want to ask her more. But I still couldn't, when she left the work I kept talking to her and then we went out to see a movie one night (not a date I just asked her to a movie) however when she came to the movie she was all dressed up, Ive seen her at a lot of night outs and with friends and she has never been that dressed up before.

So I once again got too scared to ask her out, then I decided next time for sure. And the next time came around 2 months kater (she had been training at a new job and had no social time) though we kept in contact. Now this time she was a lot more casually dressed, but still at the end I did it and asked her out on a date, however her response was "No, someone's already beaten you to it, but it was nice of you to ask."

Now this is my question, I really liked this girl a lot, to be honest I haven't liked a girl this much in a long time, but now she's not single what should I do? Should I wait it out? Should I ask her that if he didnt come along would she have said yes? Do I have a chance at all or have I just waited too long and screwed up?

I think you waited to long. She thought that the movie was a date. Her response was a: I would have gone out with you but you never asked and now there's someone new thing.

Dont actually wait for her but stay good friends with her and if you dont find any one and her relationship doesn't work then give it another chance after she has a little time to get over the relationship.

It sounds like when you went to the movie together, she thought it was a date. But you didn't and she felt stupid.

Yes you waited too long. If she splits up with her boyfriend you could try asking her out again, but she may have already got over you.

Good Luck!! xx
