give up or not?

[confused]

I think my situation would be best if i pretty much gave up.....see i totally like this girl that i converse with online, but even though we talk so well online, i rarely ever talk to her face to face at school (we are seniors).... anyways my best friend has classes with her and he overheard her talking to her friend if she was goin out with another guy yet, and i guess she said "no, not yet" at least something like that..i guess i really like her, and its weird since everytime i want to talk to her i get so nervous and out of whack, but when i talk to other girls i can go right up and talk to them....so i guess its almost near impossible for me to talk to her. and besides i think she may be gettin involved with the other guy, even though when i talk to her about it she always says no. so i think i am about nearing throwing in the towel. what y'all think i should do?? or is this too brief for all of ya? tony seems to be good at this so more power to ya if you can help me.....

This girl is obviously waiting for you to ask her out. If you're not man enough to do it, I'm sure she'll find other takers.

 

If she wasn't interested, she wouldn't spend so much time talking to you online. If you aren't serious about getting to know her better, drop the online stuff. You are leading her on and that pisses off most anybody. She may be hoping to go out with someone else just to get back at you for doing that.

You've got to break the ice man. You just have to ask her out on a date. Tell her you are tired of talking to her online all the time and you want some REAL face to face interaction. Just jump in and do it! If you make some mistakes...so what? You are entitled to goof up sometimes? It will be a great experience that may or may not end up like you want, but you can learn a great deal from it that will come in handy with future dates.
