Is there an attraction?

[GARFIELDKOOL]

A few years ago when I went to community college, there was this girl in my math class used to always stare at me. I never gave it much thought at first.
When I would enter the class, our eyes would always seem to connnect. When I answered a question or talked up in class I always felt her looking at me. I sat behind her. We were never formally introduced but she knew my first name because she heard the instructor call me many times. One day we saw each other in the hallway and our eyes connected again. She said, "what's up?". Then one day, we rode the same city bus home. She was on already, I happened to look to my right and she was staring me down so hard, I just ended up speaking. This is what really attracted me to her. I was in a relationship at the time so I couldn't push up on her. I dropped out and didn't see her since. I still liked her. But, last week, I saw her working in Wal-Mart. I was in her checkout isle and she kept looking up. When I she waited on me, I asked her if she used to go to MCC (the school's name) She said yes. I asked her if she remembered me, she said in her exact words, "I certainly do. That's why I kept looking at you." Exciting me in the process. I think I'll go back and make my move. Does anyone think there is an attraction? Because I still like this girl.

It sounds like there is an attraction. Go for it! Worst case scenerio is that she'll say no.

o0o it sounds like there is to me.

Go for it!! I always wished I could have run into the guy I used to stare at in high school a few years after we finished (I would have gotten up the nerve by then probably).

From anything I remember, she DEFINITELY is interested! Go for it! ;)

Go for it. It's better than sitting around and wondering, "what if?"

I'm going through the same thing right now with a newly ex coworker. I have felt attracted to him for the past couple months and I feel he may be attracted to me he smiles at me alot and we started chatting more and more at work over the past couple months and when I found out he got another job and was leaving I freaked out. I was scared to death that I would never see him again so I took it one step at a time I asked for his email and AIM name so we talk online and then I told him we should hang out sometime and I suggested we see a movie and we are supposed to see the new Star Wars movie and maybe getting together to watch the first two of this series. I'm not sure if he thinks it's a friendly get together or that I mean it as a date. It's so hard to tell. Over the past couple weeks I've been doting on him at work always bringing him iced coffees, I bought him a present, was in charge of a card and collection with other coworkers and collected $80 for which I got a big hug from him which was my 3rd hug with him the first two I hugged him but he hugged me for this one and it seemed a little bit like a lingering hug. I say go for it because you'll wonder for the rest of your life what would have happened if you did.

Glad to hear its moving along!!!

See - it pays sometimes to take risks and give things a try! Life's too short to go through it wondering what could have been!!

If nothing else, looks like you've got a great friendship starting and that's how the best relationships start! :)

Go for it! :)

[Rhiannon]

[Penny Lane]

[Living In a '70's Dream]

Go For it! and I wish you the best of luck :)

Reacton or Sudafed works for me - I have 5 of 'em!! Take one about 2 hrs before you go over!! Have fun!! :wave:

[swedeace]

Hmmm... *in singsong voice* sounds like a mutual crush.... :biglove:

Go for it. It's better than sitting around and wondering, "what if?"
I second that! It's better to take a risk than kick yourself hard over and over and over and regretting. I agree with TripperFan over "life's too short." Don't wonder "what could've been...." Wonder "What may be." It is quite obvious there IS mutual attraction, so GO FOR IT! :) As others have said: What do you have to lose? :wave:

I'm not sure if he thinks it's a friendly get together or that I mean it as a date. It's so hard to tell.
Mandie, glad to hear you're making progress! I remember reading your story, and I think we commented on each other's stories. I am the girl who was wondering about "how long to wait before asking a guy out" thread a few weeks ago. I found out he's actually five years younger than me, so that's a little young, since I am in my late 20s. *embarrassed look* We have been emailing/MSNing as friends because he's not into dating these days because of stuff he's going through. I told him I respect his decision, but I am happy. If you're wondering if you're unsure about the friendly get-together or date, I would just ask him, "Would you like to have coffee sometime?" This way, it's a little more than just a get-together but not quite a date - more like a gathering to talk/find out more. I guess from there, you can both decide whether you can date more or not. Good luck! :)

[Courtnee]

Go for it!

[dandelion wine]

Oh yeah, there's definately an attraction going on. Good luck! :)

Hmm...I can see that as an advantage. hehe ;)


I think either I'm too subtle or my crush is stupid. :lol:

[Max Whittaker]

...or my crush is stupid. :lol:

The optimal word for that is "unobservant". :)

[James"Thunder"Early]

GarfieldKool, go for it. this is an opportunity that you should take now or you'll kick yourself later if you don't. Good Luck!

True, you will be kicking yourself! Take a chance and just go for it.
