  • I need help, should i ask her out for a date or just leave her or somethin else? Please read details?

    Mail me at

    bux3six@gmail.com .

    We were in the same school

    for 10 years. Till 4th or 5th

    Standard, i didn't care but

    From 6th standard i don't know why i started liking

    her. I Never talked to her.

    She Never talked to me

    either. When we came in

    11th

    standard, she moved to some other school and now

    it has been over an year

    and we still haven't spoken

    a word facing each other.

    Even on the school's annual

    function she took photos of other friends but not me.

    Presently, We are friends on

    facebook and the friend

    request was not really a

    friend request as she was

    unable to see my friend request and hence i told her

    to send me a friend request

    and i don't know if she

    really wanted to send me a

    friend request or not. It was

    like a forced friend request and possibly that was the

    first time we "Talked" (Is it

    talking Really?). And now

    she has deactivated her

    facebook account for some

    unknown reason and we never talked after that. If

    you had been in my

    position what would have

    you done?? Please help me

    and tell me

    what to do... Thank you for reading it all

    and please tell me what

    should i do?

    She is my first and probably

    the last love. I Like her way

    too much that i don't like any other girl no matter

    how good she is.

    Thank you from the core of

    my heart.
