I would like some advice please, but first, some back story.
I went out with this girl for about a month last year, having both liked each other for a while beforehand. Things didn't really work out, and I broke up with her, fairly amicably. (It's a bit more complicated than that, but I'm not sure how relevant that is to my question, plus the full story reflects pretty badly on me)
Anyway, we stayed friends, and things were fine for a while, until one night I got a bit drunk and said some really quite shitty things to her. Understandably, she was quite upset. The next day I realised what a dick I'd been, apologised profusely, and agreed to give her some space. I left it for a couple of weeks, then texted her to ask if she wanted to be friends again.
Her reply: "Not really".
This was about three months ago and we basically haven't been on speaking terms since. She will tolerate my presence with mutual friends, although no eye contact/conversation is made between us.
Aaaaaaand, that's that. Today though, I was sitting eating dinner, minding my own business when she came up behind me, put her arms round my shoulders and said,
"Hi, how are you doing?"
"Erm, ok, how are you?"
and so on, until she wandered off, leaving me thoroughly perplexified.
So, what to do? My first instinct was to text/call/ask her to her face "Erm, what was that about, I was under the impression you hated my guts?", but perhaps put slightly more tactfully.
Alternatively, do I leave it alone and see if she makes any more signs of wanting to be friends again?
Suggestions, serious or otherwise, would be appreciated, although in writing this down I'm beginning to realise what a boring and pathetic dilemma this is.
kthx
*Anticipates deafening silence of no one caring*
MTFU.
Right, now to read the thing..
Should have seen this coming
Point taken.
Don't listen to me though.
I'm in a MTFU situation at the moment, although it's really just a case of letting things fall into place, and to be ready when they do.

Refer to your username?
Srsly though, do you still like her?
Not like that, no
However I wouldn't mind being friends again, particularly because not being friends with her had a serious knock-on effect on most of my other friendships.
it sounds like she's got over it and wants to be friends again
I would just ask her if she does, it's not like she's going to say that she still hates you after coming over and hugging you.
Tip: Never listen to anything I say concerning women.
Here's hoping
VALIDATE ME!!!!!
Bang her.
Women can't resist the bad guy, carry on treating her like shit until you're tapping that shit.
I used 'shit' twice
in one sentence. =[
Shit, that's a bit shit.
HO HO HO
:D
the man speaks the truth thou
makes a girl feel like she doesnt deserve you and she'll want you more....its like stupidity and ego have the lynx effect... naturally im single
here's what to do in these situations
1. pack a small bag of no more than 12 personal belongings
2. go into the mountains
3. find cave
4. settle down in said cave
5. live happily ever after
what is the problem here?
The issue is,
it seems like I've been given the opportunity to rebuild a friendship, which would be good. I'm just wondering how best to go about it.
she's probably over it
Even if she's not, it's best not to go 'HEY, LOOK AT ME TRYING HARD TO BE NICE' because that will make her remember how it was.
It seems you're a nice person, she realises that, and wants to carry on as though nothing has happened. Sounds good to me?
sounds obvious and I'm sure you must have done
but you don't mention it - have you apologised to her?
"I realised what a dick I'd been
apologised profusely, and agreed to give her some space"
I meant it too, which is rare for me.
not bad
the apologising bit, i mean
^not meant to sound that sarcastic
Don't fight your nature
The fact no one is sure whether it is sarcasm or kindness gives you a mysterious allure.
sorry
I had read the whole thing too. sorry.
ok here goes
you were a dick, she was quite rightly really angry with you. Now the anger has subsided a bit and she realises that although she hated you because of what you did, she misses your friendship and probably realises that its more effort ignoring you than it is to just get along with you. Accept that you've got off lightly and be very nice to her from now on.

this
er, nah
Girl feels lovely and unloved and wants you to brown nose her while she waits for another matey to take her attention.
lonely*
:|
this is accurate
You should be mean to who, that'll show that bitch.
yeh
IT'S TRUE COZ IT HAPPENED TO ME, MAYBE
xxx
I admire your cynicism
and wish to subscribe to your newsletter, if possible.
I've got a blog
But I had to take it down, the amount of girls online at anyone time DDoSed my host's servers and I fucking hate girls.
Also I am a liar. But I cook well.
Dinner?
Your place or mine?
let's find two girls
and double date them.
It'll be fun. We can go on boats in hyde park with a hamper. And coo at ducks.
If they're both boring we can gay-off infront of them.
You continue to make me lol
Well done, sir.
I don't hate gays.. but
back off.
Tease
(Must stop flirting with men on the internet)
Are you sure she wasn't sticking a sign on your back?
^ speaking from experience
*Checks*
"YO R A DICKHED"
Aw, fuck.
she loves you
as you were a bastard to her. keep it up!
If I act like a bastard, will all women fall in love with me???
I need to know.
possibly
but they will also stalk you and embarrass you in front of your friends.
the pros
outweigh the cons. YOU BITCH!
<3
Wow,
pretty powerful stuff. LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS, WORLD!
This is the second time I've done this tonight, but
That's what HE said!

it works
and then you become the person you hated and can't help yourself.
The battle between the left side of my brain [sweet, admirable, shy-cute-kid, lovely boyfriend, cuddles] and the right [smelly, arrogant, cunt, dick, player] is a constant spiral of self loathing-destruction-depreciation.
But sitting in the middle being b-polar, or whatever, is OK on the morals and you get to kiss girls sometimes.

^this
Only I've been nice for the last little while. Whilst I haven't had any relationships I have at least felt alright about being me.
As for your situation no big thing needs to be done. If you want her to be your friend again and she's showing signs that she does to be friendly with her. Talk to her on nights out when you're both there etc and if goes well go back to being friends. Don't ask her, that over formalises it to a pointless extent.
something i don't understand
how did she come up behind you when you were eating your dinner?
does she have a key to your house or something?
or are you at school and dinner = lunch?
but you are 19 ... so you can't be at school????
halls?
halls.
halls?
Yeah, that.
In light of my other threads tonight, it's starting to make sense why I might have pissed someone off with a tasteless remark.
kick her
back door in
that sounds dirty
this might just be a side effect of the cunts thread
EWW
ahhhh
all makes sense.
This is far too complicated for me to be arsed about
.
My advice
if you want to be friends be friendly.
If you don't...don't
women are annoying.
I cannot conjure up any more goodies for you. sorry.
hi
i'm mearly
going by experience. no offense. but women are a little nuts.
none taken
so like with all due respect: right back at you.
not YOU personally, obviously
Sigh.
Oh, good, this thread is back
I have no idea why I posted this, but thanks for the advice anyway.
be warned:
you're one step away from becoming the couple sat opposite me on a nightbus last night, who had a 'tiff' over the tricky subject of which one of them was a facebook addict.
the fact they were arguing
surely implies they both are, you should have jumped in and told them as much - for the lols.
That sounds awful
One of my ex's went mad at me when I said I thought InMe were shit. Got to be the stupidest argument I ever had that I didn't start...
the way to go about it
is to be freinds with her again, as long as you're not likely to get drunk and say shitty things to her again
she's messing you about
probably inspired by some scene she saw in a 3rd rate US drama
She's playing games
Do you even need to be friends with her? No.
Let her make the next move, until then don't make contact with her.
pretty much
that and she may be seeing someone else and is trying to make them jealous?
Sounds like she's being the
bigger man.
Challenge her to
an arm wrestle. If she wins it means she's nails and you don't want to be anywhere nearer her (and possibly that she's got amazing guns). Unless you have a thing for muscley butch women. If so, get back in there. It would also mean you're then the weak one in the relationship. Never a good place to be.
