LostOne1 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 So I feel like a complete idiot. There is a girl I kinda liked, I've seen her pic and heard about her through a friend and also my ex. I no longer talk to my ex, nor would I go through her to talk to this girl. My friend that knows her has moved away as well so no way to introduce us. Anyway this girl she is in my online class at my uni and I recognized her name in our online discussion board for school. So I thought if I could partner up with her, then we could meet up for our assignments. And, this would give us time to get to know each other better. So I asked the professor if he could put us in the same group. He said he was okay with it and did. Anyways I was such a douchbag. In my first email I acted all immature instead of being professional. I wrote things like "hope your assignment #1 is done or are you doing it last minute tsk tsk tsk" and wrote *high five* at the end and even said something like "That means Awesome party time.. oops I mean super hard student work time!" LOL jeez.. wtf was I thinking? Normally, I'd never act this way unless I know the person well enough to tease them a bit. I guess I might have come off as an idiot or something. I guess looking back I'm more of a shy person than rowdy and it feels stupid to know I tried to act all cool. It just made me look like a douchbag. I guess I felt so pressured to impress her I forgot to be myself. Or I tried to be more vocal I guess and it just made me look student considering this is a school university and I suppose acting professional is the way to go at first impressions? I feel bad and was going to send an apology email if she happened to drop out of the group because of my actions. But then I realized that might not be a good idea. I mean if I seem stalkerish, then I guess she would want to be away from me. And the last thing she would want is to hear from me? So I don't know if I should send a sorry email or just leave it and chalk it up as a lesson to be myself and more professional on the first email I sent to a girl. Link to post Share on other sites

Especially since we have no other reason to interact or talk about. Surprisingly enough her class friend is also in my group, but she didn't find my email weird. Though her email back was much more professional with no jokes at all. I kinda can see why classmates especially ones you've never met in person may not want to joke around. It is a UNI class after all even if it's online. But I've been debating from sending her an email to say i noticed she moved groups and im sorry if my actions or comments offended her. And basically for her to have a good semester. Other than that I see no reason to msg about anything else? Link to post Share on other sites

I honestly dont think you should mention your actions there was nothing offensive in them, if you wanted to send an email then just a "i hope your new group, goes well good luck and best wishes"......
