I asked this girl out while texting and she said “mayb”.

We had come back from a school trip to Peru two weeks before. While we were there, we spent a lot of time together. We were holding hands and hugging while there, and we were close to kissing once. I told her that I liked her before we left, and she seemed okay with it. She kept talking to me like we were before. But when I asked her out just recently, over a text (I can’t meet up with her without being on a date), she said “mayb”. We were talking over texts and the phone before, and I still talk to her (only texts), but it seems that nothing has changed other than my akwardness. Also, It would have been my first date, but not hers. I asked her only yesterday so I’m still tense. How long should I wait before I ask her again… with more specifics. Please help me… I’m so lost. Send me an e-mail. < trevor _ chapin @ att . net >

Um. Ask her to her face. Seriously, if someone asked me out over a text, I’d say no.

“Maybe” means “give me something specific.” She’s not giving you carte blanche for anything, anywhere. Don’t say, “Will you go out with me?” Say, “Would you like to meet Saturday for dinner and a movie? I could pick you up at 6.”

Then she’ll say “yes” or “no.”

Good luck.

dude you NEVER ask someone out over a text. It’s part of the ask out rules i suggest asking her out to her face or at least over a phone call if you can’t meet up with her…

She probably wants to hear it from you not through a text. Not very romantic :)

My parents won’t let me bike to her house and I can’t drive (for another year) so i can’t meet up with her without my parents knowing, which they should for now.

This is coming from a mom. First do your parents let you date? If yes talk to your parents about her and let them know how you feel. Maybe they can do a cookout or something and have them invite her and her family over. If they do not want it at there house do it at a local park. Then you can see her and your parents can meet her. If you really like her. But if the answer is no that your not to be dating leave it alone because if you get caught your going to be in more trouble than it is worth.

I’m confused. If you can’t meet up with her, how can you date her?

to Tator03: Yeah i can date. Thanks for the idea, but my dad was her old principal so that would be pretty weird. Its not like she was bad or anything, she never even went to the office. And yeah, I really like her.

Have your mom talk with your dad. You know you might think it would be pretty weird, but Your Dad might be cool with you dating someone that he already knows. You never know your parents and her parents might already like each other and like to have the cook out. You know another thing is that also maybe have your mom invite her and even maybe her family over for supper or something of the sort. Just have your mom set it up. I would for my son if I knew he really liked the girl. I have a son that is 14 fixing to be 15 next month, I do allow him to date but he have not even asked to go dating. Please keep me posted how what is going on. If I can help you out let me know. If you like for me to talk to your mom get her on here and I will talk/chat with her too. I can come up with different things to help you out.

Thanks so much, I’ll see if my mom will talk to my dad.

To anyone: I need to know when to call her to be able to ask her out again.

Be yourself.. If she don’t like you for you, then you shouldn’t date her.

You know she already know that you like her, by you asking her out. YOu have taken the first steps so just sit back and see what happens. But wait and see what your mom say to you after she talks to your dad. Get your mom to try the cook out thing or something of the sort and if her parents accepts great and then you will get a chance to get the vibe if she likes you from there. Then maybe she is waiting to see how far you will go to get her to go out with you. You have asked her let your mom see what she can do and wait on the rest for a few days.

well if your anything like me, im not very “normal” in that i do a lot of s*** that most guys won’t or wouldn’t around girls, then just straight up ask her with out any lead ins. If your not, then something like… oh i don’t know, “what’s your favorite movie or kind of food” and even if it isn’t what YOU like just agree with her ;) now i know a lot of people will strongly disagree with me on that but trust me you might even start to like.

i’ve already begun the relationship, i’ve been completely honest, but I’m afraid that if I’m too blunt in asking; she won’t see that I care about her.

Ive done the same as u Trevor. There is this gorgeous girl at my school and i have known her for about 8 months or so and over the last 2 weeks ive talked alot more to her and stuff. She made alot of eye contact with me and then i asked her out. I did this over MSN cause i dont know her number or address, i was straight out honest and said that wanted to take her out to see a movie. I made the conversation funny with some silly stuff and some jokes then asked her and she said this.”IF i get a chance, yer!”.

Now is that a good sign or???

Cause ive never realy asked anyone out before O.o

Any steps i should take next?

BTW she cant go out atm as she is doing work experience for the week.
