Heck, ask her out. Don't apologize about it, man up, and ask the girl if she'd like to go on a date. She'll say "oh, thanks...I have a boyfriend" ... if she says "Uh, sure, that'd be awesome" then you know that she wasn't all that into the boyfriend anyway, and it was likely doomed...or, you'll that she doesn't respect relationships a whole lot, and you'll have quite something on your hands in the future. Either way, you either go for it, or you don't. And there's really no difference.

I mean - what's your other option...hang around and wait for her and her boyfriend to breakup, lol...Yea, that doesn't work. I've personally known numerous folks who've broken up with a boyfriend or girlfriend when a more "suitable" person shows interest.

Same time - I wouldn't go plotting ways to get them to break up...that's some shady sh*t right there!

I'm just saying that she should've been more patient than move on to another guy. I was working up to asking her out.

Oh for chrissakes. Grow up, bud. What, are you in 10th grade or something?


Turn off the rom-com channel; put down the remote, step away from the TV.

OP, I have a real problem with you saying "she owes you" and "she should have been". I don't know what your issue is but you need to learn some lessons on boundaries and what's appropriate/not appropriate before you date anyone.

Is this the same girl you've been posting about and cyberstalking since September 2018?

The main reasons for not asking her out when I first started to like her were that I'm really nervous of rejection and that I also wanted to find out for sure that she was single before asking her out. I had a few months to ask her out, but I instead spent it on her social media trying to figure out whether or not she had a boyfriend.

A mutual friend told me that my crush did like me and was hoping that I would ask her out, but she eventually moved onto her current boyfriend. Now I'm thinking of contacting her and asking her to give me another chance. I'd be asking her to dump her current boyfriend, but I feel like she owes me a chance since she liked me first and I was planning on asking her out. What do you think I should do?
Move it along. You don't convince anyone to break up with anyone just because you like that person. You had your shot, and you let it go. Someone else took the spot. You live, you learn. Take that lesson and move to the next person you meet that catches your interest. She doesn't owe you a thing. You should've taken the initiative and asked her out. This is on YOU!

That's actually worse. That also makes you look bad in her eyes. She'll definitely lose any bit of interest she has left in you if you try that.



Edit: Don't know why the forum decided to quote the wrong post, but I corrected it.

Hey OP, do you like your teeth? 'Cause you're on track to be missing some, if the boyfriend finds out about your stalking his new girlfriend.

Move along.
