Actually help me/give advice, in real life

God I feel like an idiot lol...

Welp, as someone else said…. “I guess its come to this. Asking for life advice on a chess website.”

I have a problem that I need advice from other people. Sorry about the length,but if you would just read through it all and give me your opinion, I would be very thankful.

I guess I’ll start from the beginning (Always a good place to start lol). As many of you know, I am 17 years old and have worked at a KFC/Taco Bell for about 15 months now. Well, long story short, there was this girl who her and I got along well. Around February was the best time when we even went to a school dance together. From there though things started getting.... awkward. We started talking less and less. The last thing we ever texted was about 2 months ago which was a date she mysteriously canceled. Since then we’ve seen each other at work once a week but we hardly say any words.

Well comes this part… On Friday she wasn’t at work. When I asked about it, I found out that she had quit (to go to a better paying job). She had given our boss the needed 2 week advanced warning that she was going to quit. But she never told me she was planning to quit. Thursday was her last day working.

So now I have a choice

  1. Text her something (After not talking to her for a couple months)

  2. Don’t text her and never see her again

The Facts:

  • Do I love her: Probably not. Do I like her: 12/10. Want I want though is for our relationship to grow

  • She left without saying goodbye. Maybe this is a sign that she doesn’t care about me.

  • If I text her:

    • Best Case: Obvious

    • Middle Case: Nothing happens. Same as if I didn’t text her

    • Worst Case: My parents are quite strict and would be very hesitant to let me go on any dates. If we do start talking and then my parents don’t let me ever see each other, then we both leave sad

SO THE QUESTION IS: Do I

  1. Text her. And if so what do I text her

  2. Not text her and never see or speak to her again

My best advice is just text her saying how sorry you were to see her leaving and that you are still thinking about her and the fun times you both had. THEN leave it.

Do not text her again after that as the ball is in her court. If she responds, great!! If she doesn't, then at least you will know for sure.

At 17 you should be concentrating on your future. Graduate, go to college, get a job, buy a house, then worry about relationships. Until then, don’t force it. I’ve never seen a happy couple where they have to force a relationship to work. You will never be happy. Walk away. Don’t get me wrong, relationships take work, but it is work on both sides. Until you reach your goals, keep dating simple and don’t force a single relationship. The right one will be obvious when the time is right.

your probs still single

No, I’ve been married to this one for 20 years. Today is the 20th anniversary of our first date. We were married four months later. We’ve raised our kids, and have four grandkids with a fifth on the way. 

I speak from experience.

You could text her, say you heard she found a better job, and congratulate her.  

That doesn't require a response so you reduce the level of awkwardness if she doesn't respond.

Your choice!!! If you want to concentrate on school, then I would first do what ExploringWA said!!! If you care about this more I would text her. 

My Tip:

Your 17, meaning your at the top point in life, which could change your life forever!!! Your top priority should be working on your classes, your job, and finding an official job (I don't think you want to work at TacoBell your whole life!!!). After that, you should concentrate on buying yourself a house, by this time you should be 27-30ish (Depending on what career you want to pursue, in fact, what do you want to pursue???). After that, I would begin thinking about settling for a small relaxing life, then think about your relationships!!! Your at a point in life, where one wrong path could completely change your whole life!!! Concentrate and I know you can do it!!!

"An official job"?

Doctor, Engineer, Lawyer, Accountant, stuff like that!!!

Dude, err... kitten

Text her, from your posts you already now is better than doing nothing, and are seeking validation, so do it.

Is easy: Yo, dudette, I have a thing, if you have a thing we should have a thing over dinner!

Nkai20

My post or the post above me?

Nkai20

I'm pushing the kitten out of his comfort zone

Nkai20

Yeah, you may be right, I'm assuming kitten is from Cali and dudette is a Valley Girl. But my point still stands

Nkai20

I'm answering @yal384, and @hvenki is answering @ExploringVA, this topic is a bit confusing, like a Nolan movie. But love should prevail @Mako_Cat, so move your fluffy a**.
