View Full Version : Something that's been bugging me...

This is something I've needed to let out for a few days. Excuse me for any broken English.

I've had a crush on this girl for about four months now. I see her every Friday and we've become good friends. We'll talk every week or two, depending on how busy we are. I haven't had the chance to tell her I like her or anything, and I don't know if I should anytime soon. Here's why.

We're both homeschooled, and we've actually both been homeschooled since 6th grade. We go to a homeschool co-op (sort of a place for these kids to socialize) and the co-op hosted a Valentine's day social event. At about 7:30 PM during the social, she asked me if I wanted to come outside with her. I told her I would, so she had one of her friends come with us. We talked a bit and played around, and at one point when her friend went inside to get a drink or something, she asked me something bad I once did. I told her, we laughed about it a bit, and she then told me something she once did, then told me something she once did, and told me not to tell anyone (which of course I wouldn't.)

Later after her friend came back, we ran around, did stupid things, pretty much stuff like that. Several minutes later, her friend eventually went away, and it was just the two of us. Well, we talked, and one thing led to another and it eventually came to her asking me if I'd ever had my first kiss. Obviously I haven't, so she asked me what I imagined my first kiss to be like. Now, since I didn't really imagine it as anything, I just started making up stuff (i.e. I was Count Dooku and Anakin Skywalker was about to cut my head off.) Then we saw her mom look over and walk away, and I thought, "Oh crap, her mom's here." I'm pretty sure the thought was mutual.

So to avoid getting in toruble, which I'm pretty sure almost anyone would do, she ran over to her mom and told her she loved her. Her mom started talking to her, and at the same time was looking over at me. I did NOT look good at all. I was told to dress casual, so I wore my hoodie, which looked fairly dirty, my hair was messed up, and my allergies were acting up that day, do one of my eyes was half-bloodshot, and My eyelids were faded red, so I looked like I had just smoked three joints or something. I didn't want to walk away, because that would be rude, but I didn't want to interfere either, as that would be very rude. So there I was, just standing there all silent, looking like a homeless pothead.

I had a million thoughts, emotions, and feelings all running through me. If you took them all and summed them up into 8 words, here's what I was thinking.

...I feel like a huge dick right now.

They eventually went inside, and she looked over at me and said, "You coming?" That was pretty much the last we talked that day. I sat down inside, got some punch, and tried to just tough it out and pretend I wasn't looking at her the whole time. When my parents picked me up, they asked me how it went, so I said "It was alright," and tried to avoid the whole topic. They got me a chocolate-caramel sundae at Dairy Queen, which was very nice of them. Once I got home and finished it, I got in my underwear, turned on some music, and fell asleep.

Ever since then I've just wanted to tell her I'm sorry. I've wanted to apologize to her mother. I just wish I could've redone the whole thing and made a good impression on her.

Any thoughts on this?

Awkward position spawned, perhaps alittle at the wrong place, and the wrong time.
Lets all face it, shit happens in life and we just got to learn to live with it.

True, to say that first impression is the most important, especially when it comes to meeting your friend's parents.

Firstly lets factor out your feelings for her, how would you react when you hit such a situitation with your friend's parents?
Its impossible to change how her mum views you at the moment, only with time and alittle more effort, before such impressions would change.

That is something neither your crush has any control of, but it brings down to yourself.
Do make sure if you happen to have other opportunites to meet the parents, make it a good one.

Consider it being a social event, they may expect one to be alittle rowdy, unkept due to play and stuff.
Hence although an impression, it may not really stain as badly compared to being a house guest.
Keep your heads up on this one, im sure good would come with time and preserverance.

As for telling her about your crush for her?
I'd suppose its something which takes 20 seconds of insane courage.
But remember, if you dont tell some one how you feel, they will never know.

Ive mentioned it to some posters here, do not be careless, but do not be too careful either, when you see that shot, you take it.
Do not be afraid to lose.
Thats how you gain confidence when you feel you have absolutely no control.

Good luck
*smile*

it will be somewhat hard to change the impression her mother has but its not something you could work out. make an effort to impress her mother when you know she will probably be there. i think there's no reason to apologize.

tell her you like her. as kujiro said she wont know how you feel if you wont tell her. imo it seems you missed a shot when she asked you about how you imagined your first kiss would be like but maybe it just seemed like it when i read it.

You do have a point there. The only reason I made up stuff was because I was just me being my stupid trying-to-be-witty self :lol3:

First get some allergy tablets or something because that is not a pretty sight, (i should know).
anyway, if you want to change her mums veiw on you, it will take some time. whenever you know her mum will be there look smart,and act smart, but don't go talking posh and wearing a tux, thats weird.
if you want to tell her just go for it or at least start to hint at it by flirting a little, until you feel comfortable enough to go for it.
hope this help, good luck.
