So, should I go for it?

**Valigarmander** · 11-20-2007, 08:48 PM

There's a girl at school that I'm sort of interested in. After meeting Karen earlier this year, I feel completely confident in myself to approach her. The thing is, I'm not sure if this is really what I want or need. I'd love a girlfriend again, or just a good friend, but I don't know if I really need one right now. Do you think it'd be worth it to get myself a lady?

I think that if you really wanted to truly be in a relationship, you wouldn't have this hesitation. So, that's my answer.

^I agree with ZG, but I wouldn't necessarily say no right away. Obviously, you're interested in a girlfriend or a relationship otherwise you wouldn't be asking advice. My advice is feel around for a little bit and see what you're getting yourself into. Would it distract you from highschool work? Are you fully recovered from Karen? Are you getting into it for the wrong reasons? I'd say just fully analyze the situation before jumping into something that is life-changing.

Go for it man, you only live once.

CuccoLady · 11-21-2007, 08:20 PM

You know best, Val. None of us knows how you truly feel inside, and none of us are actually there experiencing this. Just follow what your ~~internal organ~~ heart tells you.

Swordmaster Link · 11-21-2007, 08:24 PM

I thought it was the liver?

Anyway, you already know the answer to whether or not it's something you need/want, you've just yet to admit it to yourself - whether it's yes or no.

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 11-22-2007, 02:15 AM

Does it matter if you need it or not? Maybe you just want to. Maybe it'll just be fun.

Just be honest with her if you do, because you don't want to break some girl's heart by letting her believe you're madly in love with her when you just want to have some close, loving company. Maybe it'll grow into something precious that you'll treasure forever, too

Bomby · 11-22-2007, 09:05 PM

Start it out as something small and see where it goes. The faster you get it out of the way, the less painful it will be if something goes wrong. Talk it over with her, let her know you're kind of interested in her. As long as you don't go overboard in telling her, things shouldn't get awkward.

**Galefore** · 11-23-2007, 09:19 PM

Go for it, bro.

Platinum · 11-23-2007, 09:29 PM

go for it (most used phrase)

what is the worst that could happen? (2nd most use phrase)

**Galefore** · 11-23-2007, 09:49 PM

After all, it could be worse.

Please, do not tell me about it when the stereotypical jinx situation happens and you lose an arm while holding hands with her.

Darunia00 · 12-04-2007, 09:32 PM

If you like life without a girlfriend, then I see no reason to upset that given your hesitation on the matter.

***Cosmonautical*** · 12-06-2007, 09:45 AM

You should never need a relationship. With a level head is the only way anyone should ever enter one.

Wrong.

Perrin Aybara · 01-20-2008, 09:37 AM

I said no, because I know nothing about your situation, and yet feel the desire to manipulate you to my whims.-jay

The Missing Link · 01-21-2008, 03:07 AM

Jay, you're awesome. I know you know. It just needed saying.

Perrin Aybara · 01-21-2008, 08:53 AM

Thanks. I do what I can.-jay

Dizzy · 01-21-2008, 10:54 AM

To VG: I say you should wait a little longer so you can decide if it's a good idea or not. Or just do what I do when I need advice: I ask the one person I really trust.

Demonicus Prime · 01-21-2008, 11:34 AM

DZ, this is not the the thread to be a jackass. Your senseless SSB:B topic is a little farther up, try to do it in there next time, okay?

Perrin Aybara · 01-21-2008, 12:17 PM

Jeez, lighten up, Francis. DZ's post was fine.

If you're going to jump on anyone, I was being a jackass in this thread long before DZ's post.-jay
