A posting I put in another topic
Liking someone is a very interesting thing.
We can easily like someone, but turning into love is another
thing.
I liked my gal (now wife), and after confessing that I liked her,
it developed into love.
I liked another gal, and now she is my sworn sister whom has a
really good relationship with me.
The issue is, gals, esp those who are passive, do not think about
that SORT of 'like' which you want your gal to like you with. She
likes you as a friend, a close friend, and until you declare you
like her in that way, she might not even noticed it.
Most gals whom I know, tell me they are passive, and can like many
guys in their passive way. However, if the guy doesn't explicitly
say that he wants to go into that sort of relationship, most of
them would just take you as a good friend. Only when you indicate
your seriousness, will they seriously consider.
My wife never considered me more than a really good fren, until i
told her i liked her in that way. Only then did she think thru and
agree to go steady with me.
Bear in mind, by doing that, you risk losing her as a friend. But
as another forumite said, either try or live with eternal regret.
It is even worse when you see her go with another guy one day, and
you DID NOT EVEN TRY.
Face it, either you try and win or lose her, or you don't try and
lose her (coz I don't think you can bear seeing her with another
guy, in which case, you STILL lose her friendship), so go all out
and try I say!
