Better I guess, but I will never get my initial stifled reaction out of my head, never!

It’s the truth. I have a small head. It’s disguised by the hair, but yup, smaller than average. I’ve come to terms with it.

Thought I’d give you guys an update on my situation. She’s started to post more regularly now and I’ve reacted to some of her posts and commented on one. I still have no definitive answer of what she thinks of me at this point. I’ve reserved myself to just continue with reactions here and there until my birthday comes up in a few weeks and I’ll see if she sends me something after receiving that notification. For those who don’t know Facebook sends out notifications when it’s a friend of yours birthday. From there I could try to extend it into an actual conversation hopefully as I see her birthday is actually later the same month so I could start there. If nothing I guess my goose is cooked. I don’t want to come out of the blue asking her out and seeming desperate.

Legit though - I hated dating. So much pressure. On both sides.

At least on your side you don’t have to deal with the expectation of making the first move

I’m a pretty forward person. I pursued Mike. Pursued hard. Not restraining order territory, but I made it clear that I was interested.

It’s not that it’s really a thing it’s just that most girls don’t tend to do it. Or at least never pursued me.

As someone who has not dated since the 80’s and knows ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ... I would take my shot. Either she’s interested or she’s not.
If she is - great. If she’s not, you’re not wasting your time pining over someone who just isn’t into you.
There’s a lid for every pot. She may or may not be your lid.

Thanks. I’m still going to give it time though and see. People always tell me there’s someone for everyone but as the years go on and on it gets harder to believe it. Doesn’t help that I’m also shy about this sort of thing. I share quite a few interests with this girl though so maybe it could be her or maybe it’s not. Sometimes I just feel like I’m running out of time even though I am still relatively young.

I did ask her out once before all those years ago. What got me to overcome my shyness back then? I saw another guy from class go up and talk to her so after the next class I was driven to make my move. I attribute it to the male competitive instinct taking over.
Right now I feel like it would be better if there was some actual conversation going on first. Even back then we talked a bit before I asked her out. Now could also be different as she could already have the suspicion that I’ll try to ask her out again eventually. There’s almost no doubt in my mind she remembers that I asked her out. I wish she’d just give me some kind of sign because I don’t like all this confusion.

I'm going to quote a line from "The Music Man".... "If you keep putting things off until tomorrow you're going to end up with a whole lot of empty yesterdays."

Thank you for acknowledging fathers who have passed away. As I can share, he's gone, but not forgotten.

Short story... (not normal for me) When I was in High School I had a self esteem problem. In fact it was as low as one could get. I was certain I was ugly and completely unattractive to any of the young ladies in the school. Leap ahead 20 years and I occasionally ran into ladies from my school and have been informed, voluntarily, that they had a secret crush on me and (remember this was the dark ages) they were waiting for me to ask them out. This happened to me three or four times over the years and there I was apparently not as ugly as I thought, but was just not tuned into the right vibes. Yes, you always run the risk of rejection, which was my biggest fear, but look at what I missed out on because I was to timid to even ask. Rejection does hurt, but so does unrequited fondness**. Just think about the possibility that you have been ignoring real relationships trying to pursue someone that just may not be into you. In the same respect that there is someone out there for everyone, one has to accept that not everyone is of a connecting chemistry. Without that joint feeling, life can be a long series of disappointments.
I used that word instead of Love, because that is what you have right now. Contrary to the movies real love doesn't come down from the sky like a bolt of lightening. It starts as fondness and grows into something much deeper if you are lucky. However, luck is the result of trying.

Well there’s no real potential relationships I could be ignoring now as I mostly keep to myself. If I’m not working I’m home and I work pretty much every day so I don’t really see any girls outside of family. I have a real job plus a food delivery app as my side job that I can sign into whenever I want. I get what everyone’s telling me but I still think there should be an actual conversation going first before I make the move. It seems like it would be weird otherwise

I don't know what opening phase your city/state is currently in (per the Covid19 situation), but if perhaps any coffee shops might be open now -- could you contact her (online) and maybe suggest that you and her could get together for a cup of coffee and to chat, at her convenience?
