In love, hard situation

Post Reply New Topic

Some time ago there were the Regional Championships of table tennis (my sport). 2 people (of the 4) were out of the tournament after the qualifier. I wasn't and so was she. 1/8 finals, Quarter finales, Half Finals. She too. The ones who would drive me back had to leave because of an anniversary (they didn't expect it to take so long). I could drive back with her. We both lost the final. I drove back with her, it was really (didn't know the right word, translation machine says cozy, sociable), just like the tournament. Stupid me was too shy (and forgot) to ask her msn, she doesn't have hyves or facebook and we train on different days. So I won't see her again fast And if I would see her, I would be too shy to ask her msn. And i absolutely don't want anybody to know it till I want so. Anyone has tips or knows what to do?

Finding people can be difficult, but using a site like Wie-O-Wie (NL) can be a great help.
Asking her address is not too strange, MSN IM is not only for 'friendly contacts' but could also be used for talking about your sport (or work). You could look in the Hyves or Facebook page of the table tennis organization if her profile is listed there?

Good luck and have fun!

You probably tried to translate 'gezellig', a nice loanword could be 'Gemütlichkeit'. Another word could be 'positive atmosphere' (compare to 'goede sfeer').

Nothing except things about table tennis which I already knew

I only have the msn from people I don't know in RL

Yeah, i ment gezellig, thx.


But I won't see her again in the next few months I think and I don't like that

Difficult situation, some ideas (you can see for yourself it they are feasible):
- asking a friend or a person who knows her about her details, you could make up an excuse about contacting her
- looking in the membership lists of her table tennis club

Maybe for next time:
- make a card with your name, MSN and Hyves details, you could ask people to contact you; that way you leave the initiative with the other

There are some people on WP that are better in these kind of situations, but this is a start.

I have to decided to tell it within a short time, but I don't know what to say. I already know an excuse, but is it handy to say that I want to get to know her or something like that, or just tell that i like her, what do I have to tell when?

Is your avatar a BP reference?

You mean the Dutch flag?

You mean my avatar?
That one I created on Februari 25, so if it is a BP reference it was prophetic. But now it got a nice second meaning, so I keep it for the thime being.

It is a sea or water, coloured in in a loose way, combined with fire. Water is my passion in sailing, being near water, something to look at. Fire is a passion for camping, sitting in silence, making fire, staring into fire. The colours are a bit loose because colouring between the lines is too difficult for me.
