lonely and desperate

It can be intimidating to know that you really, more than anything else right now, want to walk right up to her and say something smooth and funny. You want to find a way to be able to ask her out. And yet you are still standing there, watching her like a freakish stalker trying to talk yourself into it.

You know everything about her. You heard she might be getting a tattoo. You want to ask her about it but you don’t want her to think that you listen to rumors. You heard she likes to collect used cameras for her photography. You think that’s really cool. She has decorated her laptop bag and it actually looks cool.

Is it the potential for her to turn you down that keeps you from gathering your nerve? Maybe it’s the potential for her to say yes that keeps your tongue all twisted up. It’s Okay. We all hit this uncomfortable place the first time we notice someone that we just can’t shake.

Take a breath and think about a few simple facts. It might not seem like you can handle this, but you really can’t handle not asking her out and then watching her with someone else. You know you’re not alone, but that just isn’t much comfort right now. You have to be convinced that you are capable of dealing with someone that gets to you this much.

Some of us are better with words when we write them down. There’s nothing wrong with that. Some of us just aren’t ready to walk up to what appears to be the girl of our dreams and flat out ask her to spend an evening hanging out in your world. Maybe you can spend an evening hanging out in hers.

Asking her out isn’t the make it or break it statement of your life and if you just start to look at it as practice, you’ll be able to take some of the pressure off. She is fallible, just as you are. She isn’t something to hang on your mantle and worship. She is human with human flaws and human interests. She isn’t going to grow fangs and claws and tear you to pieces. She is just a young woman whom has captured your attention.

If you ask her out, even just once, you have jumped a tremendous hurdle. You have showed yourself that you are more capable than you believed you were just yesterday. You have proven that you can face a challenge that makes you sweat and walk away with your head held high, regardless of the outcome.
