Apologizing for being awkward.

Hi all,

I hate to post this here, but this is the only place where I can feel like I will get quality advice. My other thread was removed for different reasons but basically I have made almost no friends in college, and have suffered from some anxiety and depression.

So to get in the meat of my post I finally sort of made a connection with this girl in college. I think shes smart, pretty, funny and I really wanted to become friends with her. She seemed to enjoy my company and we texted back and forth a lot over the past 2 weeks and met in person twice.

Well I met her again at her apartment to study and this is where my disaster started. I got super nervous suddenly and my mind went blank. I couldnt carry the conversation and I am sure I came off as uninterested and probably she felt like a jerk. The moment I left I really really wanted to go back or text her and tell her how I’m sorry for my behavior. It was me not you, and I do like you a lot and I want to be friends. Except I dont know how to communicate this.

At this point I dont know if she wants to meet again we did not really talk about it. Whats the best way to communicate what I am thinking

Thank you.

My suggestion is not to say anything at this time. Hopefully you will get together again and you will be able to relax and enjoy yourself. If you become close friends in the future you can sometime say, “remember that time we got together when I got was a jerk…well I was just so nervous.” Hopefully then you can both laugh about it. Put the incident behind you and press on. Don’t dwell.

Don’t give up. You were nervous, it’s okay. Text her tomorrow, “hey, how are you?” Be patient, one day at a time. Care, be friendly, be present.

Text her. Thanks for studying with me. And then drop it. Ask her to study again sometime.

Should I ask her to study again and try to make a better effort to talk or should I ask to do something else

I was going to send this, but after reading your advice I probably should not right? “Sorry for not being super talkative last night haha, I really did have a nice time studying with you last night and hopefully we can again soon”. Is that a bad idea?

If you mention it again you’re just drawing more attention to it.

So i should just stick with “it was nice studying with you and hopelfully we can again soon”?

^Yes!
