Byzantine Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) [quote name='MissyP89' timestamp='1337708588' post='2433718'] How good do you think your chances are with her? You don't want to be too aggressive in your attempts to get her attention or it might intimidate her if she's not quite ready. I have to wonder why it's not OK for her to come over, but I trust that this girl is a good person ... it's a bad sign if for some reason you don't feel right about letting your family meet her. But too, I know there are other reasons. I just wanted to make sure she's OK. [color=#0000cd]It's mostly because I think there would be a very high chance of my autistic sister assuming that there's an imminent wedding or that we're boyfriend and girlfriend. And we haven't graduated high school yet. At the very least, it could be awkward. For character description, see below.[/color] [/quote] There is a reason I was thinking of asking her on our last day of classes in senior year and qualifying it with something like "I'm about to do something that might be really stupid. You have to promise that if it doesn't go well, you'll forget it ever happened..." She's more grown-up than I am to the point that my best friend has called her "mom." I'm not quite sure how she actually feels toward me, but the feelings she expresses are always really warm and kind. I am about to write a senior letter to her beginning with the quote "preach the Gospel... when necessary, use words" and proceeding to tell her what a wonderful person she is. She'll read that on Friday and I have until Thursday to act. She's a little over a year older than I but we're in the same grade. We're friends, but I'm not really in her inner circle. Her mom likes me (though I don't think she's thought of me as a suitor for her daughter), brother doesn't generally pass in my orbit, and father may or may not mind me (again, I don't think he's thought of me as a suitor for his daughter). Her best friend, who knows I like her (potentially a really bad idea to let her know, but I suppose also potentially good), I'm pretty good friends with. I've regularly told liked girl that she's a wonderful person etc. (like, I suppose just as a friend might do because she really is) and she knows that she can basically get me to do whatever (morally acceptable, although the odds she'd ask me to do anything bad are, in my view, exceptionally slim) without even using an appeal to chivalry. It's more of a look coupled with some words on the theme of "you know I'm right and I've already won this argument." Main problem is I don't think I've ever seen her at an event that isn't school related. We can carry on a good conversation, though. I'm hoping to ask for her best friend's input tomorrow as well as a trusted mentor of mine who's known her since she was a babe in arms. One of my friends told me to do it or he'd ask her for me (can you spell dishonor/shame?). Thursday is probably the latest I can say anything. And here it's late on Tuesday night. She reads senior letter on Friday, which I will give even if rejected Thursday. Finals are next week in mornings. Neither of us is taking any, I think. Graduation practice is next Thursday. Graduation is Sunday the 3rd. Is now the time to be bold and/or stupid? Not like I have much to lose. Thanks!

Byzantine Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Those of you who were with me on the prom-blem thread... She was the preferred one and ended up deciding not to go with a date before I even spoke a word to her. At the time, I pretty much thought of her only as a friend. The feelings developed later.

Vincent Vega Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 You don't sincerely believe that her brother and father would cause you physical harm for asking her on a date, do you?Re: losing her as a friend - things might be awkward for a little while, but if she is as good of a friend as you think she is, she'll eventually get over it and things will be as they once were.And sorry for my bizarre mixing of tenses/moods/aspects.

Byzantine Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Oh yeah and if anyone could provide me with a sketch of how a first date at the movies involving two teenagers just released from high school might progress, that'd be helpful.
