I dont know what to do

Hello Basil! I am a guy who hasn't had very much relationship experience and I've come here to ask for your help. I recently moved in to college earlier than everyone else for marching band and what not and Ive gotten to meet some great people, and one of them is someone that I have a crush on, but I don't know where to go with it though besides asking her to go to lunch with me which I did not too long ago... Thank you all in advance!

@BoredAF: intredasting. But I have no other women to chase. Most of the girls I know I've known for a long time and we're not into each other, or they're not single, or I've given up on them, etc. And I'm 17 so I can't exactly go to a bar and pick up women, and I'm hoping I'll never have to do that.

@BoredAF: well I didn't know she had plans in the first place. Interesting theory but it'll be hard to ignore her when we enjoy talking to each other and even though we were split into groups in yearbook she wanted to sit as close to me as possible.

@BoredAF: lol, it was so perfect last year if I had a car. She would ALWAYS say "I wish you could drive me to lunch". And I'd say "if I had a car I definitely would". This year, her friends have her lunch and they can drive. I actually did ask if she wanted to go somewhere and she said she had already planned to go somewhere with her friends I so I asked if I could come along and she didn't really want me to since she thinks I don't know her friends well enough or something...sigh.

@BoredAF: I am a slow mover as I've established here before. Mostly because I've been hesitating over multiple girls for the past 5 years or so...I never make a move. We really didn't start talking til right before winter break 1st semester of last year, then after that we just talked in class. We have that same class again (yearbook) and we still talk a lot, and yeah she seems pretty close, she laughs at my jokes (I don't waste time on unfunny jokes), and there's the physical contact. But I think she's thinking the same thing I am, I just don't know what to say to ask her out I guess. Or when.

You could just be friendly with her right now and see where it leads to. She could have some interest in you or may become attracted to you once she gets to know you better. Good luck

@Yohsei are you an idiot? I'm calling you out on an inaccurate judgement that a number of people make on chat. I absolutely despise those of you who think someone asking for advice on Basil is unwise, when Basil has normal people just like anywhere else, like I already said. I didn't say I have a ton of life experience but technically everyone has some, so we all try to contribute. It's strange because you're giving him advice while at the same time telling him not to ask for it. And your little quip at the end means nothing compared to the unnatural presence of run-on sentences that you can't seem to stop spewing. Are you missing your period and shift key?

@fradddd
are you serious first of all clearly you don't have anything constructive to say judging by your cute little cry for help to boredaf's advice so i don't know where your "life experience" comes into play in this thread so you're not really in the position to tell me to "get out" when i've told him far more than you have cause words on a screen aren't going to magically transform him into a confident swooning guy personal experience is the key to maintaining a relationship with a girl and knowing how you identify yourself as a person and how you want to carry out things is better than hiding and talking to strangers about your problems i'm sorry if this goes over your head usually inexperience with the other gender calls for ignorance but i can help you with your girl problem if you want

at the very least, i admire your sense of self-preservation for overcoming the enormous lack of basic cognitive processes you must suffer from if you can tell that i'm not 10 congratulations

[quote=Yohsei]@esargeant1996: because here you are asking a bunch of ten year olds (majority) how to live your life when instead you should be figuring out for yourself what direction you take it because in reality nothing anyone says here is going to be original and mindblowing and wow i should change my views because what this guy said is amazing i will totally get this girl right now[/quote]

No. You're wrong. Are you 10? No. Am I? No. Is OP? No. This site has had multiple age threads and most people are between 16 and 25, so get your facts straight. These people have as much experience with life as anyone else within our age group on any other stupid off topic forum. And most people on here find it easier to communicate their thoughts through Basil than in real life, so please get out.

@BoredAF does this advice apply if you've known each other for a year but you assume that she likes you and that you're both just two nervous to say anything about it?

[quote=Yohsei]@esargeant1996: did you even read what i said or did you dismiss that and instead try to figure out a way to insult me cause frankly that's pathetic

how about when you go to lunch with her you talk to her and have a normal conversation like good rational human beings do

this is where i'm your dad and i let go of the back of your bike seat and you're like "ohhhhh holy crap" but because i gave you so much momentum to begin with you're going to be fine because bikes don't fall over as long as they're moving and conversations don't fall apart as long as there is something to talk about and if the conversation starts dying down you can just pedal by asking her a question like "OH WHAT DO YOU DO? WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE?" and she'll probably respond and you can respond to that and for christ's sake just talk to her this post is dumb[/quote]
Lol that insult then must of work, you seem pretty mad bro, and no one said you were required to go comment on this.

I directed myself to asking a question. Lol these "ten year olds" are a lot more cooperative then you are, you sure you aren't the ten year old?
