Budding love interest?

CrazyJoe · #1 2007-07-20, 05:41

Temple, just hear me out. I met a girl recently at the County Fair, lemme tell you about her.
She is attractive.
She speaks her mind.
She doesn't care about what others think.
She has an awkward sense of humor.
Out of those four things, I am all except attractive (I'm slightly overweight). She didn't seem to mind, though. She dresses in black, lives with her friends( she moves between their houses alot), listens to the same music I do (Marilyn Manson, Metallica), plus she can play one of my favorite Metallica song on Guitar (Enter Sandman), pretty much watches the same TV shows as I do. There's nothing about her I don't like. Her name is Emilee(ie? y? not sure). Normally, I am a completely bashful pushover, but I felt perfectly comfortable talking with her. I actually might be getting more confident. The county fair was in a town 40 minutes bike ride there and back, and she is currently living in the town in the other direction, a 60 minute bike ride there and back. There is only one problem, though, she is 18 and a half, I am 15 and a half. Thanks for reading, if you have any advice, please lemme know.

Hmm... it looks like you'll have to invest in a set of pegs.

Seriously though, I hope you live in a state where the driving age is 15, because doing anything without a car is hard, especially if you don't have mutual friends to bum rides off of and what not.

I also hope you aren't so comfortable around each other because she actually isn't attracted to you.

I'm a downer.

Thanks for the helpful reply. I do need pegs, but I can't find a set with a short enough screw req; I have an old BMX. Of course, I've only checked the local Hardware Store...

I didn't get a chance to take Driver's Ed. during Sophomore year for two reasons. The first reason is I started the year when I was 14 (I live in Wisconsin, btw). Second is that the school is a jock-cuddling rathole that strongly hates me (they're cutting AP courses for sports, damn glad I'm not gonna be there next year).
Luckily I have several friends I can bum rides from, plus I have a min. wage job, which I can pay for their gas for all of 20 miles (2 round trips).

I hope she at least likes me, if she doesn't have the same feelings I think I'm getting for her.
I don't care if you're a downer, I don't mind, you still made me feel better for at least replying with helpful advice.

I beg to differ.

Is it a nice ride?

If you mean my bike (I think you do), then I can't give you a straight yes or no. It is OK if you consider it is about 4 years old. The chain literally popped of the gears once, mid-pedal. But I got it tightened at the local Hardware Store for free, so it should do fine uphill/under pressure.

EDIT:
Like I said, though, transportation is no problem. I can pay one of my friends.
Also, the fair is still open, so I'll probably see her again this week.

I assumed he meant scenery wise. Like is it a nice bike ride you two could enjoy together.

CrazyJoe · #7 2007-07-20, 07:14

Well, in that case, probably not. It's on a highway and there is no shade, meaning it would be uncomfortably sunny.
But it is a generally rustic area and there are a few small forests that would be nice to just hike around in. There are also a few places that would be cool to visit in each town (Parks, cemeteries, etc).

get her # or atleast her sn on AIM.

so you can talk to her, if shit works out, ask her on a date.

do you obviously looking younger than her? is she taller then you, point out any awkward situations or physical appearences between you two, so we can see if its easy to hide, or really funny, or a really big deal which may wreck everything.

also if you two share so much in common, im sure she will like you too.

Damn. You reminded me that I forgot to do that. I was going to ask if she had an email.

Physically, she does NOT look 3 years 4 days older than me AT ALL.
She is actually 2 inches shorter than me, I'd range her weight between 105 and 140 lbs.
She looks about 15 or 16. That is actually why I actually talked to her. I thought she was younger, closer to my age.

Personality-wise, she acts like a 16 year old.

I think knowing that she is 18 makes my feelings stronger, because it is considered 'taboo' in modern culture for a serious relationship between two people across such a major age gap (teenage/adult).

Does she know how old you are?
And if you told her was she still interested in talking to you?
The truth is 99.9% of girls do not like dating younger guys (unless of course you are the star quarterback- and you said your are not)
So you have two options
1) get her # and ask her out and see what happens.
2) try to be her friend while staying on the flirty side( never go into the "little brother" friend)
if you like her very much i would go for #2 cause if you fuck things up right now you will never get a second chance.
But what do i know. She's probably a fucking pedo and cant wait to take your innocence
