Thread: Is it odd I've never been asked for my number or asked out? fml!

LLChem,

I have a very good female friend who went through the same thing, and I beleive that CW is right.

In fact, I've been on the opposite end of this. Upon going to my class reunion, I started talking with an old classmate (she was not old - but an old aquaintance), and I admitted that I had always wanted to ask her out as I was totally head over heals for her when we were in HS. Guess what? She said pretty much what you are saying... She also thought we should have dated and she waited for me to ask her out to no avail. I was intimidated by how fantastic she was, and I was sure that she had so many other guys dying to take her out that I would never make the move - after all she was gorgeous!; and I was just me... lol she surely wouldn't be interested in me... What a serious mistake. She even admitted that no-one would really ask her out or even really try to get to know her; I'm assuming because we all thought the same thing - she is so pretty and such a nice person that she would never want me, and thus, she was very lonely as well.

Good lord, I kick myself in the backside every time I think about it.

You have an advantage however, in this day and age, its quite ok and accepted for women to ask guys out. If nothing else get your butt back to that gym and next time you see him walk over and re-introduce yourself. Say "hi I'm ______ and I want to appologise for the other day, I wasn't feeling well/had a headache/whatever, and anyhow, just wanted to say hello again" talk about the shirt, and start small talk about it -- then tell him you still feel bad for blowing him off (not that you really did), and would like to buy him a coffee or health drink or whatever - don't be shy - make the move if you are seriously interested in him.
