And if you don't try to see what can come from your intrest in Stephanie, you'll regret it!
Trust me, I was a dateless wonder at 20, now I've had one real girlfriend, and some friendships I wish could have gone somewhere. I'm 24. To top it off I went and moved halfway around the world, well heck France has some cute girls to, maybe I'll get up the guts to meet someone! (in 5 or 10 years probably)
But this is soposed to be helping you, not depressing you. I would say, see how well you two get a long. One word of caution, don't be expecting a "night of passion" or even that she will have romantic feelings for you, go with your eyes open...
In regards to your friend, perhaps he fears that he will lose you, also, it's his sister, I bet he's feeling very protective of her, and doesn't want to see her hurt. Why not sit down, talk with him, ask him *why* he doesn't want you to even get interested in her. There may be some valid reasons, but try to reassure him that your intentions are honerable.
BTW going out with her, and some of her friends is a great start, but it's not a date, don't feel bad, ext time she asks, accept. Or if you go out with some friends, ask her casually (if it's something she'd be intrested in)
My 0.02¤, for what it's worth.
(Damnit, I hate bieng shy too, and I make myself more lonely by listening to sappy love songs, why do I torture myself so!) |
