So I'm going to tell you my story, but first I would like to address all those who will say we don't make a good match. I know...

Dec 29 93 - Feb 19 95

We will call her "M" 🙂

And so my story begins.

I was hired as a security guard a few months ago the same day of my interview and went to check out the site I would be working in. It was a decent sized shopping center with one major store and about 12 smaller ones. My mother has accompanied me that day. After walking around and analyzing the lot, I stopped by subway to grab a quick bite. That was when I first laid eyes on this beautiful Aquarian girl. The attraction was instant, eye contact was strong and for some reason I was just blown away. My mother noticed the spark between us and teased about it later on.

Flash forward about a month or two...

I had frequently went to subway for lunch in hopes of seeing her but our schedules didn't allow it too often. Soon after, one of her coworkers asked,"do you recognize M?"
"Yea kinda" was my response.
"she's one of or beautiful ones" she added. I nodded my head in agreement but I didn't want to verbally say she was beautiful, I mean I didn't even know her. The whole situation made me uncomfortable. So I carried on and continued to eat there for lunch. I saw her only a few times after that. She's shy and I'm shy, so the few times I did see her it was just some small talk and that captivating eye contact.

One day another coworker asked me what I thought of M. Now, I do not like being put on blast, so there was no way I was going to tell her I had a huge crush on M. I told her she seemed cool but that was it. Eventually I agreed to talk to M, since her coworker was very insistent. I was so nervous. I've never been so nervous talking to someone like that in my life.

I went in with the intention of getting her number and instead asked if she wanted mine. Needless to say, it was unpleasant for her. Lol. She was also very nervous, her hands were shaking and she couldn't stand still so she began cleaning some containers that looked like they were already clean. I walked out of that restaurant with a wrong number. So I texted that number and without a response I figured I must have weirded M out. I felt crushed. Not because she didn't reply, but because I was blaming myself. I had a very attractive girl who was obviously into me, and I totally freaked her out.

About a week later yet another one of M's subway coworkers came up to me and as

About a week later yet another one of M's subway coworkers came up to me and asked if I was ever gonna talk to M. I told her she never replied to my text and she said M probably just freaked out. This was good news. That night M happened to work the night shift so as usual I went to go eat. I lightly flirted and told her she gave me the wrong number. Her response was that she knew and that she "kinda did it on purpose"... ok? That left me confused because I thought she would give me her number and she didn't. But as she stepped away from the cashier she said, "I'll be waiting". She didn't try, but the way she said it and the look on her face was so seductive and charming! A few hours later I returned, determined to ask her out for some coffee. As usual since I was over thinking I was nervous and asked for some cookies. She gave them to me for free. That turned me on. So I immediately asked her if she was down to go for some coffee with me after work. She agreed and we went to jack in the box instead.

We talked for a little over an hour, and for me it went great. Besides the fact that I couldn't get a read in her!!! There was no sign of interest what so ever! She was just sitting there with her arms to her sides mostly looking at the floor lol. Not only that but she kept saying she had to get home soon because her mom would be mad at her, but she kept adding to conversation at the same time. I was confused, I didn't know if she was into me or not. So I texted her a few times after that and it seemed like she was indeed interested.

After about a month or a little less I asked if she wanted to hang out and she agreed. I loved it. Never before have I enjoyed someone's company like that before, and the raw attraction was through the roof. Chemistry was great, our conversations were great. That night I went home knowing that something great started.

The next day I didn't text her. She didn't strike me as the type to really care much about that. So once again one of M's coworkers came butting in. She told me that I should text her more often and that if I took a long time to text back I should at least let her know why.She also said I should take her out the next day. This sounded ridiculous to me but I figured it would be wise to listen since she probably knew M well enough. So I did.

Well half my post didn't make it on here... basically I'm the most blunt and to the point way possible:
I came across as needy due to be following her coworkers advice and she quickly ran the opposite way. She ended up saying she didn't see us as anything more than friends and I got butt hurt and stopped talking to her all together. I regret it and realize it was stupid of me. I now would like to be her friend, then slowly go from there

I had a best friend, her birthday was the same day as hers. Some days she was an Aquarius and some days she was a Pisces. When was the last time you spoke to each other? Is that window for friendship even still open?

You should have never got wrapped up in what her coworkers had to say in the first place. It seemed very high school behavior.

Look, honesty is the best policy. Contact her... and tell her straight up...

"I want to apologize for my behavior. I wasn't being myself and for that Im sorry. I took advice from your coworkers thinking it was the right thing to do but I ended up making a fool of myself. I enjoy you and your company and I would like the opportunity to start over as friends"

I don't know that's just an example. Whatever you decide to say, just be honest and straightforward

yea I plan on telling her tomorrow actually. But I actually stopped talking to her because I didn't know how to react to the situation and I think she might feel some sort of resent towards me. The last time I talked to her was about a bit over a week ago, I ordered my food and she gladly helped me. I complemented on her hair which she seemed to like. She seemed a little nervous and tried not to smile or make eye contact with me for too long but it was like she had to actively avoid it. Then when I handed her my card her hand was shaking as well. I texted her later on that night and said it was nice seeing her earlier but no response.

Yes. Aquarians like it when you're straight forward.

Okay, cap. You're going to have to grow a pair. Turn to that cardinal trait and be confident, get the ball rolling. Yah, I know you think you've done that. What you've done seems needy to you because you're not confident. Just go up to her and don't hum hall around, just tell her you're going to a movie and invite her to join you.

It seems like you're putting too much responsibility on her. For instance, instead of flat out asking for her number in the first place, you asked if she wanted yours. Buddy, when a guy gives you his number instead of getting yours, that's a red flag!!!!! It tells her you're not going to put out any effort. Girls want to be persued. They want you to contact them.

I think it's obvious she likes you otherwise her friends wouldn't be encouraging you.

I'm a cap with an aqua and it works well - after you get over these early stages of communication issues.
