    Oh haha. :slight_smile: But yes, like I said, if she's really straight you have nothing to lose by messaging her because straight girls wouldn't assume something like that automatically, I think? If she's bicurious/closeted, then it will be good for you. :slight_smile: Just message her or start by commenting on her posts. Liking her photos is a good move hehe. How often do you see her?

    True! Though at this point I'm pretty out. IDK how much she knows about me though...
    I don't see her very often (maybe every 3-4 months) but I know I'll see her next week at another art gallery event, because she's on the committee, as is my friend.

    Make sure you interact with her as much as you can in that event. You can even ask her out to extend the night after the event? :slight_smile: Make it a group thing. Let your friend in on the plan. Hehe. :slight_smile: I'm sure it will be good fun! Plus you'll get to know more about her without the pressure of being on a date, just a group hang.

    I agree, I'm the same way and it is sooo hard to know.

    OMG all of this sounds terrifying.

    Also, where I'm from, people just don't do that kind of thing. It would come off as really weird. Id need to have a legitimate reason to hang out with her. Like joining an org she's in or something. The funny thing is I'm involved in a lot of activities that interact with the ones shes involved in, but we rarely cross paths...

    Sounds like there's some opportunities to bump into her and a few things to make intro small talk about :wink: And this Saturday - vicarious excitement! I hope you can chat her up a bit

    OMG YOU GUYS
    even though this crush is totally helpless, listen to this

    Theres a MAJOR STORM coming my way right now. And this girl I'm crushing on just wrote on facebook that she needs someone to adopt her during the storm. My apartment has a generator and water tank and its fairly safe. I'm so tempted to write: come on over bb

    LOL but I barely know her. I just liked it...

    That was your chance! Send her a private message saying "If no one has adopted you yet, you can stay over! BE SAFE!" Something light? :slight_smile:

    OMG so I wrote on my status:
    "who is staying in (name of my building) during the storm?!"

    and she liked it!!! :astonished:

    my building, btw, is like a dorm. it has over 500 apartments, everyone is between 25-40, young professionals, and I know a lot of her friends live there too

    Come ONNNNN! Just tell her she can stay if she has nowhere else! At least you get to know her and find out if she's gay! DO IT. Be inspired by my bravery and boldness, chica!!!

    she liked it. that's it

    OMG I'm such a dweeeeeeeb. my friends who know I'm crushing on her will be like "bish I see what you did there". so embarrassing *facepalm*

    ok, I'm off to buy storm supplies. hopefully I can log on sometime soon. I'm in Puerto Rico, so if you all see news after the storm that weve disappeared from the face of the earth, its been real nice knowing you all! (lmao such a drama queen...)
