I wish you luck.

This too.

Our friendship does mean a lot to me, she's honestly one of the best friends I've ever had, and I will still be her friend if that's all she wants.

I'm just not completely sure what she wants at this point, but I'm gonna talk to her tonight and try and figure it out.

Good call. I just know that bitterness can ensue if there's some sort of expectation of reciprocity or whatever.

Quick translation: "I'm getting mixed signals and want to figure out if she's sending wrong or if I'm receiving wrong."

Yeah, pretty much this.

Well there's your problem.

Would you mind being more specific on what these actions that you're confused about are?

Cause it could be you taking things the wrong way. Hard to tell without knowing what the behavior is. I understand if you don't want to disclose it, I get the personal nature of it.

Niiiice!! Many kudos to you, Tyro. I hope that you get yourself a local cable access TV show and hit it big like Weird Al in UHF. And hey, if you need someone to step in as your Stanley Spudowski, I am sure that Stanley Strakalkowskkowoski would be glad to show you some jungle love (ooh-ii-oooh-iii-oouuuh!!)

I don't think she's being unclear actually. The things stated as "more than friend" have all been what girls do with their friends. Normally that friend is a girl, but that kinda seems to imply you've already been friend zoned.

To quote Blue Oyster Cult (an old-timey rockinroll band for all youse younguns...):

"You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars!
I've been living on the edge so long,
Where the winds of limbo roar.
And I'm young enough to look at,
And far too old to see -
All the scars are on the inside!!
I'm not sure if there's anything left of me..."

Yeah, that'd be my feeling, from the outside.

Sky, just be clear and make sure that it's not only about what she wants - it should be about what you want as well. In fact, it should be about what you BOTH want/expect from the next step, whatever the next step should be.

Again, not being pushy but letting her know (without using the "L"word!!!!) that you are ready to sweep her off her feet. Above all, be confident and be at peace with whatever the outcome may be. And dude, never underestimate #2, because at some point, if both people have the right feelings, physical intimacy may just bring you closer and is a wonderful thang of happy goodness and joy.

And that is all I have to say about that.

If you were to shoot footage at Boskone whilst dressed in full Tyroman regalia, THAt would be something both wondrous and grand. Seriously, I am looking forward to it.

Sometimes, I miss a chat thread. Kness and Kedryn are dating, yes?

I hope they still are! The North needs a dose of KNess!
