    i have a major problem. The girl i loved for the last 3 years of my life has been seeing someone. I guess i hesitated and never asked her out because i was afraid of rejection. i know she really likes me as a friend. What can i do. Theres not a day thats gone by when i havent thought about her. She is one of the most beautiful women you'll ever see. Theres always older guys hitting on her which makes me feel like i have no chance. I tried to start a relationship with other girl friends but it never seems to work becuase im always thinking of the one girl. Please give me some advice. Ive been extremely depressed the last 3 years of my life becuase of this.

    If you love her, tell her. You need to sit down and tell her how you feel about her. You never know she might feel the same way about you. And if she doesnt then it is her loss. You never know when something is going to happen so tell her you love her. Tell her in person to.

    xGreenBabyx,

    That is generally a good rule of thumb, but in this case things are not that simple. She's involved more or less seriously with someone else. Does this mean that he shouldn't tell her? Not really. But I do suggest that he examine first his motive for telling her.

    Does he want to tell her in the hope that she'll realize that she feels the same way for him? Does he simply want to tell her because it's the truth, but he doesn't really expect/demand for her to reciprocate that feeling? How does he feel about the other guy? Does he respect him? DOes he respect her choice to be with him?

    EMAT101, I've been there before. I don't have the time to give you detailed advice right now. It's even possible that I will not have the answers you're looking for. Feel free however to pm me if you want to hear my experience. Who knows, maybe you'll be able to pick something up from it.

    Peace,

    Musikero

    Read the lyrics to this Blues Travelers song, its about a guy who is analying weather or not to aproach a girl. You shold take it serousely !!

    Most Precarious

    Don't you give up don't allow disaster
    Don't you give up don't you let her win
    We're talking about a "forever after"
    Don't you give up don't you dare give in
    Don't you give up don't you dare give in
    Doesn't it seem most precarious
    Doesn't it seem such a chance to take
    Doesn't it seem most precarious
    Why does it feel like a big mistake
    Please understand and hear what I'm saying
    The time is now and you don't have long
    She could be oceans away tomorrow
    So soon your chance will have come and gone
    So soon your chance will have come and gone
    Doesn't it seem most precarious
    Doesn't it seem such a chance to take
    Doesn't it seem most precarious
    Why does it feel like a big mistake
    The tight-wires strung and you're out in the middle
    All eyes upon you no net below
    Inches to go and you're almost home free
    Feel the wires swaying at to and fro
    Feel the wires swaying at to and fro
    Doesn't it seem most precarious
    Doesn't it seem such a chance to take
    Doesn't it seem most precarious
    Why does it feel like it would be a damn shame
    Would be forever if it meant a day
    How stoically I exclaim
    As she turns from me and walks away
    The light in her eyes explanation escapes you
    Longing to please and not feel alone
    And she doesn't know it but really she loves you
    Some day so soon you're gonna make it home
    Some day so soon you're gonna make it home
    Doesn't it seem most precarious
    Doesn't it seem such a chance to take
    Doesn't it seem most precarious
    Why does it feel like a big mistake
    Doesn't it seem most precarious
    Doesn't it seem such a chance to take
    Doesn't it seem most precarious
    Why does it feel like a big mistake

    I would tell her to be on the same page with her...w/o expectations since she is in a relationship.


    Hopefully, with the closure of telling her your feelings, and having learned your lesson, you'll be able to have fulfilling relationships in the future.

    Sorry to hear it man, but you never know. Just keep an open mind.

    3 years of depression because of this? Be decisive and do something about it.

    If you get rejected, such is life. If you don't get rejected, such is life. Just don't do anything with the intent of harming anyone else.
