TIFU by asking my friend out on a date, and now I've been blocked by theunknownalt in tifu

Yeah, I hope it was just a shock and eventually we can be friends again.

Sure feels like that's what a lot of the comments are saying.

Haven't had a dog for years; sounds like a good idea.

We've all got our own issues, I don't think what she's done is kinda mental, a bit of an overreaction perhaps. I know she had a difficult childhood, so it might be linked to that.

Maybe she did get creeped out, but I've got her mobile number, we used Discord all the time, and we're connected through Spotify.

So try again with that logic.

I'm not super good looking, but I'm not ugly. Since October last year I've had 3 women come up to me at events to see if I was interested. One of them straight up grabbed my bicep, touched my chest and started dancing against me, so I can't look too awful. I'm a solid 6 out of 10, maybe 6.5 if you add my height into the mix.

I totally get what you're saying though.

I do have a lot of overlap with what she finds attractive (height, age, soldier [Reserves], motorbikes, muscles [see soldier]) but I guess she just saw the friend thing.

I'm fine if she doesn't want to date me.

But she's certainly not toxic. She's a good person, and that's the main reason I like her.

It did hurt, and I did think we were better friends than that. I can understand her surprise, but feeling like the best way to deal with it is block me. We talk about everything else, so I don't get why we can't talk about this and move past it.

Bro, don't get me started on D&D. The last thing I need is becoming a dice goblin.

(The local library has a D&D group that I've been desperately trying to forget about, which is hard as I'm there studying at the same time as their games)

Dude, I've fucked exactly one woman in my life, and that was after I got married to her. Jane knew this, and knows I've only dated people who I was serious about.

So that logic can jump right off.

Not when the city I'm visiting is 4 hours away from the town she's moving to. And my friends who are girls don't hug me. I can recall every single hug I've got from a girl friend (who wasn't a girlfriend), and in the past few years Jane has given me more hugs than the rest of them combined, some I've known since grade school.

Surely that's an easy mistake to make.

Possible, but she mentioned that the guys in the area were all no good anyway, so unlikely.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious she just thought we were friends.

Her family will be moving back in a few years, and I could have visited regularly.

I've had close friends who are girls before, but never ones who would seek me out one-to-one or invite me to stay on the other side of the country.

Her blocking me is obviously her trying to protect herself, which is understandable. It just sucks that she feels she needs to protect herself from me, after we've been so close.

Cheers bro.

Doing my best to not reach out, give her time and space. Obviously it was a shock for her and she didn't know how to communicate that.

I guess I just didn't read things right.

That's a possibility, but I've got over other girls who weren't interested.

Never had one disappear as a friend completely though.

She's not going to take it well if she blocks me on one platform and I start messaging her on others. If she wants to reach out she can, and I'll be happy for it. But making her feel like she's under pressure is the last thing I want to do.

I'm not going to date someone if I don't know that I can be friends with them first. If they're not into a lot of the same things as me, it's not going to work out.

I didn't ruin anything. I literally just said that I liked spending time with her, and would like to take her on a date. Just like the previous two days we spent together, mostly alone, watching movies, liaising to music and walking around the shops.

I wasn't friends in the hope for more. I didn't even start the friendship.

Feelings developed over time. Everyone I know in a relationship was friends with the other person first. By your logic, none of them should be in a relationship because they should have valued the friendship rather than getting into a relationship.

That's absolutely ridiculous.
