If by saying "I'll get back to you", he actually wanted to have a think about whether or not he should begin a relationship with her, then he's not a shallow prick.

Average-looking people are taken because they are fun to be around, and gorgeous people are rejected for being unpleasant and rude.

If you're going for the "I only go out with hot girls" rule, then the idea of real relationships won't make any sense.

I have not read that book before.....

"What Ugly People Say"

ditto.
If they say that, it means they dont know what they want and possibly sussing out other possibilities and potentials to see if they are wasting their time with you. If they liked you they'd say yes when asked.

That said, who gets "asked out" anyway. As in asking to go out somewhere yes but that doesnt mean you are in a relationship, a relationship develops when you start seeing eachother and what not, its not like "will you be my girlfriend" or "will you go out with me?" if someone asked me that id be like "yeah sounds good where do you want to go?" and then go from there. If you have a good time, sense potential, you do it again and eventually it will be that you are in a relationship. I dont think a relationship can just go from being non-existant to existant from one answer. Going from being friends/acquaintances to kissing and hugging and holding eachother, just wouldnt feel right. I prefer it when it develops.

Ouch!

You know what? I knew you were going to say just as soon as I clicked "Submit Reply". I'd rather be ugly than blatantly predictable. ;)

Too bad you're both :)
Awww, that's about the nicest thing you've ever said. :)

I'm curious, why exactly are you so eager on slandering me for so many of my posts that don't concern you?

What gave you the impression that I did?

You're about as funny as you are attractive. (I'm talking about the interior, not chucking a Malazn Pleasure and making assumptions about the appearance of someone I've never met)

You tell him, Dreamerish! Although you can't really balme him for being such an ass, he's probably had his brain degenerated from watching too many american soapies.

In this situation

Been visiting BoS for a while, but never posted. Didn't know there was a 'Love & Relationship' board till just now (haven't really browsed the site :p). Anyway, I guess my situation warrants a postie :).

Basically, I've never been in a relationship/been kissed etc.
Told this girl I like her a little over 2 months ago, and at the time she said she was really busy, was flattered but for now wanted to keep things the way they were (she's in year 11, I've got HSC in 3 weeks :(). We still chat and stuff, but the subject's never come up again, and I'm kinda shy to raise it again.

Advice? Is there a good way of bringing it up without sounding desperate? Thanks.

i remember the first time i got asked out
i said 'ummm....can i think about it?'..and 'i'll get back to ya'
which led to an eventual no after a few days of 'thinking about it"..

No.

Raising it up makes you sound desperate. Make a few moves to remind her of your presence. If she doesnt take the bait. Move on.

She'll raise it again if she wants anything to happen.
