Love help: I can’t stand things the way they are. - Help.com

I can’t stand things the way they are.

I’ll lose control of myself soon like this.

There was nothing wrong with yesterday. I had my own group of friends to hang out with during the class sleep-over, she had hers. My best friend had decided to stay at home, so I hung out with the girls in my group, whom I know really well.

I had lots of fun during the event as well. I played games all night, and watched movies until the morning.

Yet, I was always looking for her. Hoping that we’d be able to talk or something, that she’d approach me and say something. And getting disappointed when she did not.

So the sleep-over passed without us exchanging a single word. Perfectly normal, considering I didn’t bother talking to the vast majority of the people there.

Here is the interesting bit; I was consciously AVOIDING her as well. I don’t understand myself. Whenever I saw her, I felt like looking away or moving to the side. So what do I want?

I had the guts to ask her out. I had the guts to start a music group, and do a duet with her without losing my nerve. I had the guts to attempt continue this farce even though it’s not going anywhere.

I’ve now declared that I need to open my eyes, and stop obsessing over this. I’m a man. Too bad if she likes me deep down, and I don’t know. Because I don’t. On the outside, she doesn’t remotely care about me. I don’t want to have to go fishing for answers not pleasant to my liking.

I want to get over my fear of what I don’t know. I want to be able to talk to her like I do any of my other friends. Part of this is my own problem, because I insist on treating her like some sort of god that controls my life, capable of breaking me. Another part is because I’m simply assuming that she doesn’t want to talk to me.

But my actions confuse me. I’m not approaching it right. I’m hiding in the corner, hoping for HER to talk to me? Wondering and assuming that she doesn’t want me to talk to her? I don’t know. Why am I acting this way?

Just suck it up and go tell her how you feel. All of it. No matter which way it goes, you won’t be confused any more.

She is probably waiting for you to talk to her. Some women prefer to be approached, it makes us feel special.

@dragon_Lady

I might have chanced that, but seeing as she’s a lead singer in the music group I run, I don’t think I could face her after saying all of that.

@anon

I suppose…..but I wonder why the girl in question would need to feel special…

Hi my friend,
May we step back, and give attention to your post. If what you have written is correct, then the problem lies as a picture. Most of the time, we’re the ones, who’s holding the key which charters our destiny.

You stated that she is missing out, by not permitting herself to embrass feeling which “you perceive’” are there. Just as this theroy would not work, in a court of law, likewise assumption gets us no where. For without truth, one can’t come to a solid conclusion.

Please, be the gentleman that you are, and take the intiative, to comfront her. Tell her that you regret, all of the awkward moments, and they are not a true representative of you. State that you veiw her as a wonderful person, and therefore ask her if she would like to have lunch, and a movi in the near future, if she has no previous engagement.

Rememeber, what you perceive is only your thoughts, until they are validated. You must step up, and fine out the “real truth”. Knowledge is first “facts” it is still just that, until they are tested for accuracy, gathered and utilized to base ones conclusion. So ask yourself, if you have done all of the above to answer your unknown. To solve any problem, we must strive to know the whole “true story.” You must also, permitted yourself to do an assessment on you and why you haven’t persuited every “honest way” to get her attention. Only then will you clearly see who has allowed the wall, and what’s needed to rectify the matter. Afterward, deal lovingly with your own assestment.

Get a picture of a real conversation with ‘her’. Go back and retrieve the bags of “boldness” wherever they were left, if you intend to trolly in this lane. Reflesh you memembely of the movie “The Wizard of Oz’… they was forfunate to acknowlege and seek the parts they needed, in order to be ” hold.” You have need of ‘courage and boldness’ whick is package in the form of self-confident. Please know that in life, whatever we fail to reconizes, we will never comfront, and what we don’t comfront, we ‘want fix.’

If we don’t attempt to resolve things that are lurking in our minds, they will prevent us from going to our next level and things will only escalate, and give a false premise upon which to built ones life. We must never let fear keep us from knowing or excepting truth, for that is ‘the only way we grow.’,

Therefore, in your case, if you fail to pursuit the truth, you will be the losser and “not her.” We must embrass the truth, and it begins with facts, whether it is to our liken or not and only then can we move on. You must try.. “not to let truth or the fear of it”… capture you, and become a victim.

You have the key to your dilemma, just step-up, for “real men are still needed, admired and missed in today’s world” It is still a GREAT cry of many good women who are praying and pursuitng good men.

I “hear” greatest, in your heart, just take a clue from the movie, and do away with all of the “If I only…, and strive to your own destiny, as they did. but.. it must begin… “with you”

I know you can do it. I foresee one less sign hung, with the satment …”Good men needed,”……..Beleive me, you will be just fine, and will meet the love of your life, and therefore make some women very pround, if not the one in question. One day you will look back and smile, just to say ” Wow!!” I made it……Peace
