Yeah, take it slow bro. And ask her out over the phone at the very least.
hahahaha. I mean you coulda done better. Not much worse.
Erk. To be honest, I’d run a mile if someone I hadn’t spoken to since high school sent me something like that.
This is good advice. But if it doesnt work out, don’t beat yourself up over it. Who knows what kind of person she is nowadays, or if you two would get along.
I am not sue why you would ask her (or anyone) out simply because you knew them many years ago. Especially if you had nothing in common then. Haven’t you met other people in the interim?
She assured me I didn’t freak her out, but I’m reasonably sure she didn’t figure out my true motives.
Messaged her revealing my motives.
What did you say this time?
“Hey Baby, wanna join my Breakfast Club? I promise it won’t be a Nightmare on Elm Street. I know I didn’t come off as a Real Genius before, maybe even Less Than Zero, but if you give me another chance I’ll be Some Kind of Wonderful. Without you, I’m Better Off Dead.”
No, the 1st message was just asking if I freaked her out. (she didn’t talk to me for awhile) 2nd was just making my intentions more obvious. SHOULDA used Chuck’s line, though! :smack:
It always seems uncool when you imagine doing it, but just using English, and telling someone how you feel and what you want has one overwhelming advantage: People understand what you are saying. The pain when she falls to the ground howling in laughter will be intense, but actually, over time, it’s less than the ache from realizing you never took the chance.
And, if she actually thinks you are not a complete dork, who is ugly and stupid too, she will think you are a not ugly, not stupid non dork who is honest, and willing to be vulnerable.
Chicks dig that.
Go for it.
Tris (who didn’t.)
She’s taken. 
Not surprised, grateful it was drama-free.
Next time, don’t wait 7 months.
