TridenT, you fail. Just take a lesson for this. Women don't mind guys who are shy, and that can sometimes work in their favor. However, when a question like that comes up, assertiveness is what they look for. "I guess" is about the worst possible answer you could've given. Too wishy-washy. It screams "You are a friend to me who I don't think too much of and would rather keep at an arms length at all times" or that you simply do not care.

Second, back off for a while. Pushing this in its immedeate aftermath is a BAD idea. If it comes up again in conversation (again, not initiated by you), give her the answer she deserves. If not, wait until the situation has died down and approach it the exact opposite way you usually do. Again, assertiveness. Be direct and don't pussyfoot around the issue.

Third, Ladder theory is FALSE. If you know what you are doing, going between ladders can be accomplished with relative ease. The rewards can be even greater long-term doing this, but it hurts all the more if/when you fall on your ass. Tread wisely.
This was an extremely good post.
[*]TridenT has gotten five phone numbers in the past month and has fucked up every single time.
[*]TridenT is fail.
[*]TridenT needs new shoes, new clothes, new frames for his glasses, and a new haircut. He also needs to get his acne cleared up.
[*]TridenT needs a job and a car. He also needs to get his ass straightened out in college
[*]TridenT needs to grow a pair. Needs to be more confident and assertive.

Anything else I am missing? Probably.

As in, she is running off with a biker dude?
Or as in, she is about to have her plug pulled?

Over how many posts do you plan on stretching this out? Spill the story or take it to L&R.

Her:
Do you want to make love?
Or do you just want to fool around?
You can take it seriously
Or take it somewhere else...

TridenT:
Um, fool around?

"Do you like me?" And I didn't even have to ask, "As friends or what?" Because there was context to her question already...

"Yeah, I guess I do."

She didn't really give me a fucking response... She just wanted me to say, "Yes.. I do like you." in a very straight forward way. But... like... she didn't even tell me how she felt... I just got out of the car and walked into my house.. heart racing and thinking, "nooooo, I lost an awesome friend..."

So.. yeah... Total lameness.

:laugh:

You're an idiot. You knew where she was going with it and you dropped the ball anyhow. You should have just said "yes" and told her what she wanted to hear. If you ever want to get with a chick, you can't keep being a bumbling idiot.

Don't say "I guess" when it comes to stuff like that. Women don't like it.

How the hell do you figure that you just lost a good friend? So you made an ass of yourself- doesnt mean it has to ruin your friendship- just give her a call...
And next time, pretend you have an ounce of confidence.

jump to conclusions much? Maybe in she's trying to evaluate the situation? And put it in L&R
