Hello, I really like this girl i work with.

We used to be able to talk just fine, flirt n mess about. Then one day the it happened i feel in love with her. Then she followed. She told me in front of her mates. However even tho i really liked her i knocked her back. After just breaking up with my previous girl of 5 years i was rather dead insaide so to speak. Plus i have a baby. Emotionly damaged in realy lacking in any self confience. I just did not feel good enough for her. Shes so beautiful n well i may be alright looking but shes well out of my league. Now i just feel akward round her. It’s killing me inside. I’ve never felt this strongly about someone before. I just think she would be happier without me in her life. I don’t want to hold her back. Shes really smart and could have it all. After 10 month it’s still quite obvously we r crazy about each other. None of us has moved on. Im i just bein a complete idiot. I wish so much it was easier. Sometimes i feel like im cursed n not very lucky in life. I have alot of friends and a great family but on my own i feel total useless. I’ve tried to better myself in every way possible but it’s a slow process. Everytime i try to just go for it something stops me. I just get embarrised n feel stupid and nervous. As time goes by i know if i don’t do something soon i’ll lose her and she will also be a what if. What hell can i do.

What do you think stops you from telling her? Fear of rejection? Unsure if your feelings for her are genuine? Fear of getting into a relationship again?

get a card, a normal, everyday card, y’know like a birthday card or a thank you card or whatever, and inside write exactly what you wrote above ^ and give it to her. you’ve articulared your feelings pretty much spot on, and if she still has feelings for you, i have no doubt she’d fling herself into your arms with joy :)

or as Liindaa say, just do it. forget your own hang ups and nerosis about whether you’re good enough and just don’t your best to make her and yourself happy :)

good luck buudy

Maybe all of those Chameleon. I got really hurt last time. I mean it was so sore. I just felt dead inside. I was depressed for a long time. Im just about getting back on my feet again. I don’t want to get involved with someone I love more than my last girlfriend only to get crucified. I just don’t think i could recover from it. Im stupid i just get carried away with my feeling. Then I get hurt. For example one night in a club i tried dancing with her, i was a little drunk. We actually started talking again. Then my mate kissed her. She kissed him back but i reckon it was just to see what i would do. Once it was clear i wasent happy about it and went to leave she tried to stop me. I never even turned round i just split. The thin thing is my ex girl tried it on with my mate he knocked her back. So i clearly have trust issues. If someone i like even remotly gets on with my mates i just assume the worst. I just wish id get over this.

You’re not stupid. We all get carried away with our feelings when we fall in love. Maybe you need more time before you’re ready for another relationship. Even though it may feel like if you don’t pounce now you’ll lose your chance with her, that’s no reason to enter a relationship before you’re ready, which would more than likely lead to catastrophe because your heart isn’t strong enough to handle the trying parts every relationship has, and then you’d just end up hurt again.

Yea excatly that what i thought mate. However you don’t have to look at her nearly everyday. I have to look right into her eys and lie. She knows full well and she just keeps trying to communicate with me. I already feel like im letting her down n i don’t go with her. What the hell will i feel like if i do go with her. I be like a nervouse wreck always thinking if shes happy. I’d never be able to relax. I have can either leave wotk and just try to get a new life or just tell her how i feel. Barve has i may be im just 2 bloody nice of a person.

Why don’t you tell her that you have feelings for her but aren’t ready to get into a relationship yet. Then she’ll know how you feel. Tell her you’re a wreck over this. Tell her everything and see what she says. Wouldn’t that be the best solution? I don’t know.

Mate put it this way. If you where on a plane and it crashed and you barely survived would you ever get back on a plane. Basicly it just conquering your fear. Maybe i just think to much. I should just keep it simple. Look i’ll be out with her 2mo night at a club. I ‘ll just buy her a drink or something. The crap thing about the work thing is i feel like im on a stage. It’s not like the sad losers no offence wont all start talking about it.

no offense intended in the slightest, but really, what are you hoping will change in the future that makes you strong enough to ask her? i’m not minimising your fear in the slightest, however, i do believe you must have the strength to overcome that demon holding you back and go for it. you obviously want her, you’ve made a post about her on a website discussing your feelings. you’ve already said it’d be a waste if you didnt get her. so really, it comes down to you. nothing or nobody else matters. and if you don’t pluck up the courage that makes you do it, i don’t know what will ever change that will make it any different. and that would be a real shame because it sounds like there is something there.

IF she did want to go out with you, it wouldn’t be immediately 100% commitment and marriage. you could just stay the same and let it grow slowly. but if you do nothing it’ll just be…such a shame.

i do realise its hard but there comes a time in everyone’s life man…don’t let it beat you :)

You are making a big mistake man! You have to stop thinking RIGHT NOW that she will never see you in that way. Why? because women pick up on this easily and when you go around with this kind of mindset It’ll never work. What do you think ugly guys who are with hot girls had to do? Do you think they thought” Oh, I’m not good enough for her she is way out of my leauge.” NO, they went in there and said to themselves “This girl wants me and I am equal to her and every other guy.” Using this kind of thinking can go along way and get her. Confidence is key man!
