Link to original post: [drupal=3036]I'm at a crossroad...[/drupal]



Okay so I have stumbled upon a fork in the road...

So last year in my Accounting I class I knew this girl (We never really had many conversations but they were nice none-the-less). And this year she's in my Accounting II class and we just gravitate towards one another (Mainly because we were the only one's we really knew in the class). Little did we both know that we both had a lot in common with one another. Now while we talked and laughed I started to grow feelings towards her. But I've never really had the courage to actually tell her how I felt about her. But about a couple of months ago one my my Ex girlfriends from 5-6th grade (Class of '10 now by the way) found me over Facebook and we start to have casual friendly conversations. The reason we broke up was because I felt that I was too immature for her. Little did I know she still had feelings towards me and she has actually told me how she felt. And for some odd reason over the internet, I'm not really afriad to express my feelings towards her. And this is where I meet that crossroad...

Which one do I actually choose? Both are amazing choices and will lead to a wonderful relationship but I'm a difficult decision....

The female that I have been crushing on since September who doesn't know my true feelings towards her....?

Or....

The female who I let go and returned to me....?


(Sorry if everything seems jumbled... I just have SO many thoughts running though my head at the moment...)

Well the one that you borke up with must like you alot to have come back and still wanted to be with you after you gave her up...

I don't know. In my experience you could say no to your ex...only to find out the person you have a crush would rather stay friends. That's the worst case scenario.

Something else to consider...is the reason you broke up with your ex in the first place still there or still a problem? If it is choosing her would only take you through the same problems you had originally..

Another thing is you don't know how this crush feels about you...

Regardless..you're right you do have to pick one and you have to stick with the one you choose, or you'll lose them both.

I think the one in accounting would be the better choice, if you've already were kind of hinting you liked her and then suddenly changed what kind of message would that leave?

Also if you don't want to be harsh to the other girl just say, "I'm kinda in a relationship now but that doesn't mean we can't be friends right?"

Look at it this way, if the girl from accounting let's you down you have a for sure rebound girl.

Dourin just sold a budget movie making millions and winning an oscar.

Make sure that the movie title is in big red text.


on a more serious note, go with the girl you know in class, if you restart a relation you can find yourself bored faster as you already know the girl.

So you have to choose between the girl who is either clingy or seriously cares about you, or you have to choose a girl who you think you like but you're not sure if she likes you in return. Whatever happend to "just friends?"

Seriously though, don't be a douche and break the first girl's heart by rejecting her even if she does still care about you. Then again, this is all High School "love." In about five years you probably won't remember either one of their names unless they happend to make a major and I mean MAJOR impact on your life.

They're both reading this blog right now.
lol that'd be funny

but on topic, it seems like you might wanna go with the Facebook girl, and here's my reasoning:
1) Even after getting dumped, she still likes you, and you like her. That means something.
2) You said that you left her because you thought you were too immature. If you think you've matured, then that reasoning is null and void now.
3) There's no guarantee that the Accounting girl likes you like that. Maybe she likes you, but only wants to be friends.

More seriously: The girl in accounting is a chance. She may like you, or she may not.

Your ex has pretty much come out and said how she feels, so that sounds more guaranteed that there's something there. On the other hand, you guys broke up before. Of course, that was in the 5th grade, so I'm not sure that means anything.

The way I see it, if you start seeing the girl from your class, the relationship with your ex is going to get awkward because she's already admitted her feelings. If you start dating your ex again, maybe you can still be friends with the other girl, depending on how much flirting has been going on up to this point.

Either way, I don't think anyone else can make this decision for you.

Supply and Demand: The Substitution Effect. When good x appears to be to have too high of a cost we usually substitute it for good y which has a lower cost but can more or less do the same exact things as good x. Therefore causing good x to drop in price until it is determined that is it a reasonable investment by other people. It all has to do with accounting../not.

I read every post on this thread but I'm just going to point out these few qoutes:
_____

They're both reading this blog right now.
The Accouting girl might be. I get on SWF everyday and she does know my user name up here. But I doubt that she'll go that far just to find stuff out...

Honestly, get into both relationships and make a movie out of it, trying to avoid the two colliding, but it obviously will never work. Get Robin Williams to play you.
You could always date both it's not like your going steady (no one uses that word anymore, lol for a reason)
It won't be difficult to date them both. They're both in different towns and no little to nothing about each other. But I'm not that kind of guy... I want to be with just one girl...

Either way, I don't think anyone else can make this decision for you.
Yeah I know but it's better to hear outside opinions rather than making a desision with a clouded mind.

___

And after taking in the advice thrown here I'm going to see comming Monday if the Accouting girl has feelings towards me. If not then I may go out with my ex but then it'll just feel like I got a consolation prize...

Either way Monday is the deciding factor into this little bit of drama in my life.

Okay so yesterday in class we had a good time. Nice laughs and conversations. All of a sudden she goes... "You never cease to amaze me Turhan". So by that time I’m like… I gotta ask her now but I’m too nervous to actually ask her out loud how she feels about me. So I wrote her a little note and I gave it to her about 10 minutes before class ended. When I gave it to her I said “I promised myself I’d ask this question today...” and handed her the note. So either she already knew what I was going to ask… or some other ****. Anyway she smiled with a BIG GRIN and said, “Can I open this later and give you answer then”. So I’m being calm and cool about it and I say sure and we went on home.

So Yeah that’s that situation.

But before that on Sunday I get a text from my ex saying some cute stuff like “Hey hun.” n such. So I’m just casually talking to her and all of a sudden she’s like “We should go see Dear John sometime next weekend.” So at this point I’m like whoa… And I never really gave her a clear answer on what we’ll do because I’m still trying to see how my crush is feeling about me. So I just said “I’ll see what I can do.”

Yup…. That’s to keep people up do date….

Yo, that just sounds like keeping you on the string.
Yes or no is just way easier for both parties, UNLESS she likes toying around.

I don't like the look of that.

That's what I was thinking... But I was also thinking that maybe she does need the time to think about it?


AGH it's so hard to read her...

Don't go see Dear John. It was filmed where I live right now, and where I go to school every day. And I heard it's baboon ****.

also, firespiking both *****es is the only answer. Come on, you play Young Link. You know I'm right.


I vote for the Accounting one by the way, for reasons, I'm not really sure I understand :p

I'm so tempted to sig the bolded.

And I'm very fond of Nicholas Sparks novels. So if I were to see it I would feel less forced to.

Yeah even though I don't plan on breaking up with her if we ever did go back out. I took that fact into consideration like... she's a down chick and I think that she'd be there for me whenever I needed her.

Tell the girl how you feel. Chances are she will like you. If she doesn't like you, stay friends, and develop your feelings for your ex.

If you do end up dating the accounting girl, she may not like it that you're friends with your ex. Just sayin'. It's possible she'll be cool with it, but most people wouldn't like it.

If you do end up dating both, I look forward to seeing you on an episode of "Cheaters" one of these days.

OK, from a girl's perspective, we see it as better to forgive and forget and give second chances. However, you must think. Us girls are complex (I admit it) but even simple things breaks us down. But they're much easier to manage than a guy taking forever to make a concrete decision. Sure we'll wait forever but we start losing hope if we wait too long. But if this other girl from your Accounting class says to give her time, give her time. Do not rush any of this. And also keep in mind any and all feelings that have developed for your ex to the point of loving her are based on your memories and feelings from 5th grade. Sorry to say, even though girls love to reach out for the past and see if our love can reach the future, even if we don't admit it, it's best for us to move on and find someone fresh to love. Not saying you're a bad guy (as I can tell you're a great guy, one of those whom are hard to find because you seem sensitive to the situation and actually think, taking in the feelings of both girls, to an extent at least), but think about what is best for each girl;

Your ex whom loves you (or as you say) based on an old bond that might have eroded over time or this new girl you personally have feelings for and have had time to get to know and grow with, knowing the current person they are, not the person they were, such as your ex.

In the end it's up to you but take your time. Don't rush it because we girls get hurt really easily from guys who think love is a race. It hurts us more than you know.

Do what your heart tells you is best and is drawn to. You can never go wrong then.

No wonder one of the best responses to which girl he should choose, would come from a girl! Haha, he should have thought of that from the start!

I've been taking people's advice here and elsewhere. Even been asking my family and my closest friends on the situation. And I can't really choose "the one I want" because I like them both almost equally.

But everyone's telling me pretty much the samething.

If you do end up dating the accounting girl, she may not like it that you're friends with your ex. Just sayin'. It's possible she'll be cool with it, but most people wouldn't like it.

I figured that much. Which is why it makes the choice harder because someone get's hurt in the process of all of this... I have no intentions of losing contact with my ex if we do happen to get together. That'll probably just have to be something she'll have to deal with unless things start to get a little out of hand and sketchy.

I'm definitely not that kind of guy that would date two girls at once. I wouldn't have the time or the heart to use them both like that...

This was very informative. I'm not trying to rush anyone really but I'm constantly thinking about it and it's hard to really take my mind of this... It's kinda one of those things you want/need the answer to but can't obtian it at the moment because there's a maze in front of you.

I'm just trying to get questions answered to the fullest and more honest because I don't want to become too attached to either one (and vice versa) then making a decision and breaking someone's heart...

Thank you for giving me the other perspective though. I greatly appreciate it.

On a side note about that note. I asked her about it today and when I did, she turned bright red and she had a big smile on her face, but still didn't give a straight answer to it. She just said that she "needed a little bit more time to think about it".

AGH....

I just wanna know...

I say... Get a few random 'dates' with them and see which one you prefer.
I'm not saying to play them. But teenagers seem to work it do differently than adults (I'm 17 btw, still a kid too.)

Try getting to both, and then choose.

Sorry to say, but that's rushing. Patience is something you'll need if you want to come to the right decision the best way. You can't force it nor get frustrated by her actions. She does need time after all since you're asking a girl of something that is pretty precious to her; her life in your hands, as it is.

I say this because when we girls date someone, we give everything we are and sacrifice everything we want to do for you. And we don't want that betrayed. So the best thing you can do is give her all the time she needs as it is a big deal to her. I mean an extremely big deal.

Plus, showing patience only demonstrates your feelings for her in a way that shows you care about her time and feelings, letting her know that you want what is the best possible choice for her which she can only achieve by thinking for herself in this situation.

It's not that I'm not willing to wait for the answer. It's just that I want to stop putting so much thought into the situation.

So how am I suppose to approach the situation now with her...? I'm totally at a loss...

Edit: I understand if I keep asking her about it that it'll just annoy her but she's not even showing to me that she's even thinking about what I asked...

Meh I guess I'm just over thinking the situation.

Last post in a row.

Stuck in the friends zone. And she also had a boyfriend which was a surprise to me...

So yeah that's how it went with her. I'm not mad or depressed. I'm kind of indifferent about the situation. Honestly I think we would be better as friends anyway. :)

Now I can finally put my mind to rest about this decision.

Thank you all for the help and support through this. I <3 SWF!

You shouldn't rush to date ex girl just because accounting girl has a bf. If you feel like you still like accounting girl and you may not be fully committed to ex girl you should wait. Cuz you may lose your chance if accounting girl and her bf break up soon.

But if your willing to take that risk or willing to give up on accounting girl go for it.

I'm not going to rush into anything yet. I still have somethings to sort out with my ex before I start to date her.

I would be lying to myself if I said I no longer have feelings towards the Accounting girl because I do but it's more of a brother/sister kind of love. As in I'll pretty much be there for her if she needs me.
