What? Why would you even be a shit lord? You seemed really excited about her and the dating what-nots!

I don't know. I genuinely had a good time on those dates. I do have some feelings for her. Too bad I have to be a complete dick. Maybe I just enjoy fucking ruining anything good that ever happens to me.

What do you mean you were a complete dick? Short of calling her stupid and insulting everything she likes, I doubt you could have done much in the space of two dates to establish any kind of dick-ness.

After telling her how much I liked her, I pretty much told her I don't like her as much as I thought I did. How is that not being a dick?

Feeling angry at yourself isn't very proactive. If you're being indecisive then apologise. If you're being honest then it's better than leading her on, apologise anyway.
Ultimately, if you think you've done wrong, apologise.

Besides, if you don't actually like her that way, what does it matter that you messed up?

Just as a post script: If the reason you think you don't like her is a lack of fireworks... then I should tell you, it's totally okay to date someone just because you get along and enjoy eachother's company.

eyyyyyyy
I mean, I always thought Sloth was cute, but I wasn't really, uh, ahem, onto him until after we'd started dating. Then again, I am reasonably sure that I'm exceptionally reserved with my romantic progression (for a variety of reasons, not just this), so perhaps I am not the best example. It could be that you need some more chemical exposure (in person time and all that) to cement the attraction.

Relationships aren't always perfect firework displays too, if this helps. Sometimes there'll be comfortable lulls where it's just enough to be in a Skype call together, or something. But yeah! Dire's right, messing up is a part of life and it's best to be honest and say these things now rather than later.

Sounds like you had a lot of high expectations for the relationship. The only problem is you can't let yourself be discouraged just because reality is a little more boring than what your mind can come up with for the ideal. If you had fun during the date, then that's that. The two of you being able to get along and have fun together is a lot better than half of the relationships I've seen advertised.

Was it that she did or said something that's so personally grating you can't possibly see a life together?

Those initial few dates are always gonna be full of indecisiveness and self-questioning, man. Everybody says awkward things that they don't know how to put into words and might come across a little dickish. Maybe give it some time, go back and say sorry once you've figured out what happened from more objective view, and see if she's up to hanging out again if you want.

Honestly, Marc, the fact that you're reacting so strongly to what you did says that you do seem to care about her a decent amount.

Well, I dunno if I already commented here but I finally had the balls to ask a girl I'm really interested in to go to an upcoming dance with me at School, someone already asked her, after that, I was like "So, did you figure out the obvious yet?" and she apparently knew for a while that I was crushing on her, can't say I blame her, I'm a guy that can barely hide that shit. Thing is, I don't know if she's even interested because we haven't talked about it but she hasn't brought up wanting to date me.

Should I just give up and stick friends?

"Dance" sounds like it's something high school aged. Not to try and sound like "that guy", but not a lot of people know what they're doing with respect to dating, and even fewer know how to make decisions that "make sense" with respect to it. That doesn't mean that the feelings you're feeling are "irrelevant", but that a lot of what happens isn't going to represent how anything happens after all of that.

Her having known that you've had a crush on her could mean she doesn't reciprocate those feelings, or it could mean she's too scared to make the first move.

If the later option makes no sense, consider my own situation involved the two of us having been told that the we like each other, and we still played relationship chicken. We're in our early twenties.

Best option, as original as it sounds, is to blindly ask her what it is she wants out of her relationship status, and then change the topic to her relationship status with you. Flat out. Blunt. So blunt it'll make a Seth Rogan/James Franco movie jealous.

I'm so pathetically bad at talking to women. I've still made no progress with the girl I mentioned that I like a few pages back. I barely know her so it's just really hard for me to work up the nerve to talk to her when I have no idea what to talk about. Usually I'm able to talk to anyone I want really easily, but if I like someone, or even just respect them more than usual, and I don't know them that well, I just can't bring myself to say anything unless they initiate the conversation. ugh. I even asked out my last girlfriend in text because I couldn't work up the nerve to do it in person even though I knew she liked me back.

Maybe I'll just wait my feelings out and not try to pursue a relationship until next year when I'm in college. It just sucks that I have these feelings when I don't even know what to do with them or what I even want.

So there's this girl and it's weird what we have but I love it.
Allow me to explain : Before my ex-gf, I was always hanging out with a girl. I liked her very much and she liked me as much, but even though we slept together, we never considered ourselves as a couple, more like very, very good friends. I don't know why that was, she just didn't want to think about it and at the time I was so afraid of rejection (and she had rejected me two years prior) that I never wanted to ask. Then came another girl, and we fell in love and, seeing as I wasn't going out with the other girl, I decided I would ask the one who loved me out. Followed nine month of being in a couple (it was a first for me and it didn't went as well as I had hoped). Not too long ago we broke up.
The other girl is currently in London for a year (halas) so I don't get to see her often. Nonetheless, we talk a lot (thanks skype and textos) and she's been pretty clear she wanted to pick up where we stopped, and it suits me well. She's coming home for a month and she'll live at my appartment for a week and I cannot wait to see her (I missed her a lot).
The thing is : I may be slowly falling in love with her. And I have no idea how she feels about this ... Plus she's living in England for the next six month and I know she doesn't want to think seriously about what there is between us because it would be too hard living so far apart if there was something ...

From my experience, hesitating on anything serious is never a good idea under the guise of "Now's not a good time." Life isn't just going to line up the stars for you, and chances are you won't even recognize a chance as life doing so for you. Each reason not to start a relationship is going to be fixed into yet another reason not to start a relationship.

You can't because "School's too stressful" so you wait until you graduate.
Now you can't because "I need to find a job" so you wait until you find one.
Then you can't because "I need to make sure I get settled in the job" so you wait until you're comfortable.

Next thing you know, it turns out you've been comfortable in that job for years (assuming you still have it.) You've been trekking through all of these stressors assuming a relationship would just stress you out, only the loneliness has been stressing you out the whole time. If there's something between you two, you should just get it out there, established. Trust me, that's a hell of a lot less stress than "I miss you!" "No, I miss you!" "nuh-uh, I miss you!"
