<p>they don’t know each other for one. I’m sure of that and second of all, if they say no, I’m not going to give them the gift…don’t see why that’s wrong right? it’s like if you propose to a girl and she says no, you don’t give her the engagment ring!</p>
<p>LOL I hope she does! I asked on Monday, i’ve seen her look at me twice today but hasn’t said anything…should i just talk to her tomorrow?</p>
<p>Actually, my point was that the stuffed animal was original and memorable, and was probably mentioned around by the first girl. Or could easily have been. So girl two mentions how memorable it was you asking with the stuffed animal, and someone says ‘was that the same Rabbit he asked Mary with?’</p>
<p>Nvm. Your strategy, your business. </p>
<p>Next time you see her look at you, yes, remind her she hadn’t given you an answer if she could go to the prom, and ask her if she can go with you, or at least ask her when she’ll know. (My opinion, anyhow. It will get awkward if you wait too long, and if the answer is no, asking the next girl would be pretty late.) Good luck!</p>
<p>Ya, the girl just texted me, I have a date to prom! Lol, ironically, the one girl I asked with no gift is the one who said yes!
:D</p>
<p>I made it clear to her that we are just going as friends and she is 100% fine with that! She says she’s just happy to be able to go to prom!</p>

<p>As for crush, Kate she went to hospital today, she didn’t show up at school. She didn’t tell me she did but months before she told me that she goes to the hospital a couple times per month. She is diabetic, type 1. </p>
<p>Today I didn’t see her at school so I texted her, thinking she was just skipping</p>
<p>Me: “awww Kate is staying home today!”</p>
<p>Kate: “yes”</p>
<p>at this point, I realised that this isn’t a normal not coming to school day.</p>
<p>Me. “Are you ok though?”</p>
<p>Her: “ya, Much better.”</p>
<p>Me: “get some rest, this time tomorrow I expect you to be balling over my horrible knock knock jokes.”</p>
<p>no reply…</p>
<p>My questions:</p>
<p>1) Was that last text too much? I want to show her I care but from a respectful distance!</p>
<p>2) Why is it that my crush NEVER texts me first and I have to text her? Is this a good or bad sign? </p>
<ul>
<li>I know she likes me cause two different people have told me that…</li>
</ul>
<p>Thanks </p>
<ol>
<li><p>Congratulations on your date!</p></li>
<li><p>Some girls don’t text first. Besides, she’s feeling sick. It was an appropriate place to end the text conversation, anyhow.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>quick question girls! Do you guys like bear hugs? I’m feeling bold all of a sudden and was just wondering if you like it! I’m 6 foot 2 and my crush, Kate is about 5"5, 5"6</p>
<p>No!!! I think this is too soon. You should gradually ease into something like that. I am warning you because I know what happens when people come on too strong. And while you may think you guys have reached that point, she may not agree. I just wouldn’t want you to get hurt like I did for being too forward with a guy. But from a girl’s perspective I would not be enthusiastic about a bear hug. Especially since you guys aren’t dating. </p>
<p>@JanAnna
uh…true! ok, a simple hug then! Thank you for your input! I’ll tell you guys how it goes tomorrow!</p>
<p>You are absolutely my favorite new CC poster. I wish there was a way we could give you your own featured sticky thread every day where you could post about your life adventures and misadventures. A million times more interesting than the 17 versions of Do you think I can get into Yale threads. </p>
<p>
Ask people before you hug them. </p>
<p>@JoBenny</p>
<p>Hey, do you think I can get into Yale? I’ve nervous about my application! </p>

<p>Hey, do you think I can get into Yale? I’ve nervous about my application! </p>
<p>Oh goodness, I was about to scream “He has gone to the dark side!”. This thread is a great change from the applications and college stuff and <em>cough</em>lack of a prom date<em>cough</em>. I hope everything works out for you.</p>
<p>@JanAnna</p>
<p>haha true!</p>
<p>Just a question for you and any other women who have a boyfriend, current crush or even a husband. As far back as you can remember…did you ever text your other first? Back when you just started liking him…</p>
<p>cause of everything that I’ve seen with her…the only two things I can see that would suggest she doesn’t like me is that she never texts me first and when she does, it’s always a reply and a question but compared to my own style of text, her texts are evidently smaller in size than mine!</p>
<p>Also, she never says hi to me first, she does look at me every time we pass in the halls when we can’t talk like when we’re passing one another with our own group of friends.</p>
<p>plus, I have a calculus test on tuesday and alot of lifeguard recerts going on so I’ve had no time or energy to really start a MEANINGFUL text conversation…</p>
<p>should I be worried? </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>We’re still sort of living under this idea that guys are supposed to initiate everything. It’s 2014 and no one really believes it anymore, but it’s a convenient excuse girls use for not doing anything when they’re shy or don’t know what to say. </p>
<p>ya but like…I’m not a girl so I don’t understand how you think but like for me…it nags me in the back of my mind…every so often, a thought will pop in my head, telling me to text or talk to her…do girls get that? and if so, how do you suppress it and NEVER text first? </p>
<p>
Processes in my brain cause me to have fleeting and semi-coherent experiences of words and images even when my eyes are closed and no one is talking to me. </p>
<p>
<em>shrug</em> Shyness is painful. There are times when you feel like you’ll spontaneously combust if you don’t say something, but the nervousness keeps you quiet. </p>
<p>I don’t think it would bother her if you texted her. People who worry about annoying others are usually not the ones who need to worry. </p>
<p>Going to prom with a girl means you can have fun(this can be interpreted many ways.)</p>
<p>He means sex.
<p>Lol. I would text first but that’s because my crush doesn’t initiate contact with ANYONE. The brains to get into an ivy but the social skills of an awkward penguin. It’s charming in a nerdy way though. However if she is like me, she is probably equally shy and unsure if initiating contact will make her seem clingy. Also, she may have find it hard to talk about things that normal teens may talk about? Most of my conversations are about coding & cyber security or make-up, so if someone brings up something else, I’m like lolwut O_O. It depends on how shy she is. But sooner or later she should come around and initiate texting convos if she has something to say. In-person contact, though, she may not initiate. </p>
<p>I’m a girl and I usually initiate the online conversations with my current boyfriend (and the last one, too, now that I think of it). Just depends on the people, I guess?</p>
