Alrighty then.
I’ll try to make this as brief as I can to the best of my abilities.
I’m 24, she’s 22. We met in a forum where artists gather and discuss… whatever it is we discuss. Few words about her:
She’s cute, a bit snappy sometimes, and tad arrogant. Sort of a tom boy really, but there is also something feminine about her too. It’s difficult to explain.
Basically, think of a girl that had to grow around lots of boys and didn’t have much time to act girlish. She wears army pants…
With that being said however, I’ve also seen a better side of her which I’d really like to get to know. Not to mention she is very intelligent and she does study hard (as opposed to me).
So all of that makes me feel very inferior. I don’t have the guts to ask her out, because in a way I feel intimidated and it’s like we’re not on the same level. We’ve met in person once last year on a forum meeting. There were like 30+ people and so, but I failed so miserably to get a good “first impression” going. Man, it was so bad!
I chatted her up on skype once and sort of asked her if she’d like to go to a gallery with me and her reply was something along the lines of: Well, you tell me when and where and we’ll see.
Also I got a new job as a game designer (yey) and when I announced it in the forum she asked if I was leaving for another country, because I said that I might in case I can’t find anything here. I told her “No, you’re worried I’d leave you(smiley face)?” and her answer was “game point”. I don’t even know what that means…
Maybe I’m just seeing what I want to see, but all in all I find her interesting and I’d like to give it a shot, but I am scared out of my mind to ask her out even on a casual date.
Do you guys think I’m way in over my head with her? I know it’s difficult to get an impression of the situation with just a few lines, but still…
And I hate to admit it, but it feels as though I am the sensitive one here. How can I be the guy if I am… the girl.
