Dear Abby: I like this girl…
Dear Abby, I like this girl and I’ve been talking to her for one or two weeks and I was thinking about asking her out next week or the week after? What do you think I should do?
If you mean to ask her on a date, It wouldn’t make too much of a difference if you asked her next week or the week after. So, just wait for the right timing. I’m not saying that it has to be this huge romantic scene. Just get her alone for a minute and ask her if she’d like to go on a date with you.
However, only ask her out if you can see it potentially leading to a relationship. Maybe more time is needed for you to figure that out, but if you know you already like her then go for it. Life isn’t fun if you just hang out in your bubble of comfort. You don’t want to look back one day and regret not taking action.
Also, here’s some little tips. First, make the plans yourself! Every girl loves a guy who will take charge. No one likes playing the “but what do you wanna do” game. Second, keep the conversation going, awkward silences are not much fun. And most importantly, be yourself! I know that sounds cheesy and typical, but there is no need to try to impress one another: being with someone shouldn’t be an act. It’s pointless to have a significant other if you are just pretending to be what that person wants.
Remember that confidence is key. It’s an attractive quality for anyone to have, as long as it doesn’t come off as being full of yourself or narcissistic. The worst thing that could happen is that she says no. If by some chance she doesn’t like you, that means there’s someone out there in the world who’s better for you so don’t beat yourself up over it. Rejection is a little daunting, but life goes on.
Like I said before, it wouldn’t make much of difference if you were to ask her next week or the week after if you know you like her, but why wait? Go get what you want, and good luck!
