You're fu~~ed! It doesn't matter when, it doesn't matter how, you'll be the evil heart breaker and have to live with crushing a heart and all the shit that ensues. It's inevitable, unless Armor suddenly stabs you in your sleep with an arrow. Or she suddenly decided she doesn't love you after all. The only thing you can do is be as gentle and honest for her and your conscience sake. Endure and be kind. You won't get a thanks for it, but doing the right thing is rarely rewarded. Other than that: What Ricky said, I won't even attempt to try; he already said it all and very well, too. In all honesty, I think I'd have to say "no". If you mean love love. I had crushes, I've been seriously in love, but I don't think I've experienced true love yet. I was crazy about my boyfriends, I was miserable when we broke; but I never had this "puts the past experiences into perspective" thing Kaijo describes. I think there are many different kinds of loves and while I had my heart broken, I don't think I ever truly gave it away - fully and earnestly; I always kept a part to myself. I'm still young, so I hope there are a lot more experiences to come. I think it would be conceited to truly measure my experiences till now, but I think I'm only a low/mid-leveler in the love games as of now, with a lot to look forward to. Joy and pain wait for me, I'm on my way! |

Vis a vis the "in love" question? Yes. Clearly. If you have to think about it, the answer is no, but I can pretty firmly say it has happened five times. Some people may say that at my age, that means my love is cheap, but I don't think anyone's love can be cheap. Some people just experience it more readily than others, and I'm one of the ready ones.
Anyone who knows me well knows that I wear my heart right out on my sleeve, and that I'm pretty bad at holding back.

One of my closest friends is like that, too. Even so it brought her much more heart break than necessary, I'm still envious how she is able to offer her love so freely. |

In my case, I don't want companionship in a general sense. I only ever feel the desire if there is a specific someone in my purview that stirs me up.

Okay, I think I need to listen to other peoples perspectives.
How can I introduce myself to a girl in my class (university level) without looking odd. Lets just say the setting is in the University cafeteria and she usually talks to her friend for 20 minutes then leaves.

Pheh, walk into the group, excuse yourself for the intrusion, then say you noticed her over the past couple of 'times' and was wondering if you could buy her something to drink or something
You're gonna look odd anyway, but at least odd with balls

I'm trying to figure out a way to look more causal. Is there any other options? What if she is with one friend? She is definately a science person with big glasses, but I know it is just only a little part of her personality.

Uh, just sit next to her/the group and try to start a conversation? It's normal to greet each other or ask if the seat is open when sitting down at least. First line spoken! It depends on the mood but casual conversations often come out of that.
At least it's not that unusual here. |

Around my area it is strange for random people to say "hi". Then again now that I think about people don't usually look at each other when walking. People usually ignore the outside by listening to their ipod, text, or talk to there friends if they have time.
I guess I'll do what Zebra said about the sitting down part if there is a seat avaliable. Table and seating arrangements can be tricky sometimes.

Huh, really? Interesting. Where I'm from (and where I currently am) it's not all that odd to say hi to someone you don't know, or to smile and wave at them if you look at each other. It's a nice little way of acknowledging each other, even if we don't know each other very well.

Interesting replies guys, I believe I was in love, once. Though I've never been in a proper relationship. I never had an interest in her, just another person. But we did become friends at some point, and it kind of grew from there. I suppose it was mostly her personality and our similar interests, Quite outgoing and makes people feel good. Also likes attention to an extent and quite intelligent. She likes physical contact with friends (Which I am not used to) so perhaps that led me on/made a stronger relationship. So yeah...
I don't think I've ever really had any 'crushes', maybe just sexual attraction or mild infatuation. |

I can remember an incident where I accidently bumped into a girl on a party. As I was trying to appologize she was taking my hand and we went to the dance floor (I think alcohol was the other reason).

Ok, please don't be offended by my joke, I'm just that kind of a guy. I know this is serious matter and I really feel for you. But I'll tell you one thing in serious manner. No matter how you start the conversation, if she doesn't show any interest in the beginning don't go kicking yourself in the head and thinking how you could have handled that differently, because the end result would have been the same. Then again, they say first impression is the important one so... bah, what do I know. Good luck, ether way.
