kinda seein a girl, but not officially? :S

hey.
if you've read any of my other posts, then you may remember that im gettin fairly close to a girl atm. its not like "serious" or anything, we see each other when we want and/or have time and stuff. like yesturday, we went to the beach, which was suppoused to be with loads of friends, but it ended up with only 3 guy's n us two. they left us to go home, so we hung about, sat on the beach, walked, got some ice cream, sat on the beach again till we went to get the bus. then went to the cinema afterwards (that Wild Hogs is pretty good ) and ended up coming back to mine to hang out a bit more with pizza and "An Incovient Truth". so yeah, was an immense day.
we hold hands, hug, n we've kissed pretty intenstly like twice. so to me, it's just like we're taking it easy, no rushin n stuff. our friends have a complete different look on it though, they've obviously been talking about us, and a rumour has started saying me n her are actually seein each other. which we're not, cos we havent said anything to each other.
i was talking to a good female friend the other night, who's also a good mate of the girl i like, and i mentioned that i took her into town on that night. n she asked "so are you n cat a romantic now?" and i said "nah, i dunno, we're just taking it slowly i think. no rushin n that"...she replied with "sexed?"lol (its nowt like that atm )...to cut it short, i told her not to say anything, and she obviously has announced it to everyone more or less.
i suppose, what im askin is a few things:

do i just keep on going the way things are going, and take it easy, and not care what people think? or go and ask her out? lol.

has anyone been in a similar situation? like taking it easy with someone, not officially seeing someone before actually asking them out and seeing them. that kinda thing? how'd it work out for you(s)???

thanks guys n gals.

 

It really depends on you and whether or not you want to have a girlfriend or just be dating around with a girl.

 

why can't you guys be goin out and taking it easy at the same time?

I was just taking it easy with my girl (basically what you said minus the kissing sessions =P) for about three months before we went out
then we kissed on New Year's and I asked her out later in the day
and our relationship has been real easy goin as well; 3 months and not a fight

 

i do wana ask her out, and probably will very soon tbf. i'd really like to call her my girlfriend n stuff, but i'd like to take it in my own time. and now, i feel a bit rushed, pressured even, cos of everyone thinking we're already going out, and how she knows that people think that (i told her that day at the beach, so she heard it from me first lol).

i can see it going rather good n cool tbh. i cant see anything i'd wana argue with her about...although, we do playfully mock eachother, and jokingly argue, but its all a laugh, haha.
so aye.
think im meetin up with her in town after she finishes college tomorrow in the afternoon. chilled walks down by the river. rights!

 

p.s.
i know i type essays.
she's on my mind a fair bit though.
the Any Time Now version of "Night Shift...Stir It Up" by O.A.R. fits the scenerio nicely. lolol.

 

ehh, just ignore people, they suck

fuck what people think
if you wanna ask her out, do so
if you don't, don't

either way, I wish you much luck
