There is a nice young lady at my church, same age as I. My mom feels that she has been trying to get my attention and lately has been making a few comments oriented in that direction. One of them was, "I think she has been trying to get your attention, you should talk to her. I told you she told me to tell you she said hello the other day remember?" I do talk to her. I told her (my mom) a few months back that I didn't want to be bothered with the hassles of relationships nor would I play the silly games involved. Apparently, from an aftertalk on the matter, she assumed that this meant I would not even talk to females. (That sounds pretty absurd.) That isn't what I meant at all, she has trouble understanding me when we talk on these things, and I have trouble understanding her as well. Anyhow, I asked myself "What if she likes me and I like her back? What would change?" The question is really asking what would I "do about it" if that makes any kind of intelligent sense. What if I asked her out? Then what? I truly don't understand what it means to "have a boyfriend or a girlfriend." I ask her out and then she says yes....then what? What would change? Perhaps I would talk to her more, perhaps hang out with her more. So basically, for me to do that I have to tell her I like her and ask her to be my boyfriend? That is a bit crazy in my mind. Well the original question has been utterly destroyed by the randomness I just typed so if you still remember what it was, any rays of light?
