Relationship Help

151 21 February 19, 2013 at 07:25 PM in Chat (2)
It has been a while since I've been in a relationship with someone, like four years. I met a girl online via online dating site and really thought I hit it off. She's attractive and has an interesting personality. I got her number last night and we've been communicating since then. Two questions:
I asked if she wanted to meet, response: "Maybe Smilie"
How am I supposed to take that? Good/bad?

Also, earlier when we first met, she mentioned she's not the best at asking questions (ain't that the truth). So, I've been asking her some questions and been getting one word answers in return. Is this good/bad/neutral?

I don't want to screw this relationship up. Advice please?

Well, she is interesting to talk to, once I manage to break her out of her very hard shell.
And the only reason you tried is because she's pretty. Seriously, if you have to force it that hard (dirty), it's not worth it.

And it generally winds up rubbing you raw.

so she's pretty, seems social (over 500 fb friends), and in college and she's using online dating. something doesn't really add up to me.

When the village idiot is calling you out on it... I'd say you have some pondering to do about the validity of your situation.

Maybe she doesn't want to get hurt again?

And she still hasn't accepted?

Maybe it's because she doesn't know who you are.

She does. I deliberately asked her if this is her profile on Skype and my Skype username is my first and last name.

College years were some of the best of my life. I too was somewhat shy/reserved in High School, but the beauty of College is that no-one knows who you are. You can completely become a new person if you really want to. Do something out of your comfort zone. Head to parties. Be sociable. I know it might be intimidating, but take it from me, who has gone through some of this, it really isn't bad at all. People (especially freshman) are so friendly because they are in the same situation you are in.

I found my wife at college. And, had a ton of fun before settling down.

Rofl2 So true.

Yeah, 500 FB friends means nothing. There's whole forums for the facebook games where you can add random people (because you need stupid friends to play their stupid games) and you can quickly accumulate hundreds of people on your "friends" list you've never even met or recognize.

Most of them go to her school.
