Really? In your experience, it has been mostly gals who have admitted this? wow that's interesting.. i thought it was the other way around for some reason.

hehe :D

i wouldn't really call it a "crazy" thing :D Definitely takes a lot of guts.... you are extending yourself in a way one would never do, under 'normal' circumstances. Definitely takes a lot of courage, i think.

trust me nadia.. think sometimes its stupidity...

in my youthful days... when i didnt have an ounce of sense.. i located which uni this guy went to who my friend was in love with for about 2 years... so i got the details.. skipped class.. went to his uni... went up the lifts... found this one room.. and she walks past it.. and the guy is in there.. we stood outside for 45 minutes laffing our heads off... he came out and talked to her and then spent the next 2 hours talking to us .. even bought us coffees (my first coffee.. i had to pretend to be grown up).. hehe..

it was pretty funny stuff

the answer is not so smiple u know... sadzzz :p

hmcq: i disagreeee... it takes alot of guts.. specially if that someone is close to u... if u dont know them and u seen them somewhere its not that hard to go up to them ask them... if they reject u its not as if there is a friendship u might jeprodise :p .

nadia H : i hear u .. it takes alot of guts :p .

sadzz: wat i have seen is that girls r expectant that it should be the guy asking the girl out (dont ask me y they do that).

hmmm i think whether the friendship lasts or not after the 'rejection' depends more on the person who 'rejected'...she/he can make the other person feel more at ease about the issue and not feel bad so about being 'rejected'...:)

being a girl i dont think i would ever be the one to admit first :p but then again i've never been in such a situation so i dont know... :)

im proud of people who actually admit it... it takes a lot of guts. Most of the times its girls who do end up admitting it... and i think its great. Why die wondering?

Seems like you two ladies are talking from experience...? :o

:D

aw Sadzzz :hug: That’s so cute. i am certain we have all done things like that in our past… perhaps at a time of our lives when we had less knowledge than we enjoy at the current moment. i’m sure you wouldn’t do that today because, as you yourself stated in your post, when i didnt have an ounce of sense. Stuff like that is all part of ‘growing up’.

i would say that that was a ‘crush’ for you. It’s a totally different scenario when you actually fall in “love” with someone (i accept we all have differing definitions of “love”). If you really really liked someone, and it wasn’t a crush, i think you would have the courage to let them know… sometimes it’s more difficult to keep it in.

Waleed :stuck_out_tongue: Thank you.

:hoonh: Acha acha, very funny. :o

hehe nadia :hug:

actually it wasnt my crush.. it was my friends.. she saw him some place once and fell in love and so like she told me about him and i did my jadoo and found him…

but yeah it was a fun part of growing up :slight_smile:

...why dont people admit their feelings? if you like someone... why not just say it? is it fear of rejection? is it an ego issue... what is it?

[/QUOTE]

I can't answer why but I'm really glad some can't "express" their feelings to the one they're interested in...:p

hmm on a second thought, I think people are often unsure of their feelings. I've seen people admit when they are really serious...Thank God they're not like Umreekans who(most of them) will go and ask out anyone without a second thought...:D

to eveyone… i apologise.. i was in a wacked frame of mind when i wrote this up.. hehe

hmm yeah but if i was sure and i knew the person well enough.. i would tell them… and if they leave then thats their problem… but im glad my person remained my friend :p: hehehehe

^ sadzzz you mean you were drunk when you posted this thread up? :nono4:

oh no, maybe it was a moona-fever. Glad it’s over by now! :stuck_out_tongue:

j/k! :hehe:

yeah drunk on life... kidding..

no i just was in a wacky mood... hhehe..
