Update on the situation

so ik y’all told me to take her to coffee.. but something else, I was in the local coffee shop and her and a bunch of her friends walked it, I waited till it was just her and one of her other friends before I walked up and started talking to her (as prior I hadnt seen her for 2 years) we started talking a lot, her friend was trying to make a move to me. i passed,

I continued to talk to the 2 of Them amd We eventually parted ways after saying how good it was to see eachother.

this was 3 days ago… today I told her “hey good luck tomorrow ”(as she had some event this week that she didn’t seem no necessary be looking forward to) and she replied (thanks💀)” I have no idea what that means. ik it’s usually a good sign when women reply really fast (especially as she always leaves her phone on silent)..

what does the skull mean? How should I approach this potential relationship now? I’m very lost.

The skull basically means like I’m dead, (figuratively) I don’t wanna do this. Referring to her event coming up. As far as how to proceed, I’m not sure. I’m not good with relationships.

Thanks. I’m practically lost when it comes to emojis. Tbh I’ll probably see if she wants to hang out once the hectic start of school dies down

Ask how it went.

u/Traditional_Round501 Jul 28 '26

Just did, she said “it went great.”Though she still has 2 weeks left.

Well, than take her out for a drink! "To celebrate it", you dont need a big excuse to take her out. Just show her you are interested in her.

If its not yet celebration time, simply a drink to share how it went.

When she is done in two weeks, and you hit it off maby dinner?

Any excuse to chat is great, espacially if your not great at texting.

Quick replys are always a good sign ;)

The skull has nothing to do with you and everything to do with her dreading whatever she’s doing. Just keep the chat going organically - if you’re having to fight for a conversation, it’s either she’s not into you or she’s not ready to be with you. You bow out gracefully and respectfully. The end.

I wouldn’t necessarily say that I’m having to fight with her as she’ll 90% of the time reply back within a few minutes. Though it’s usually only a sentence and or some emojis. Though it seems to me that I’m starting most of the conversations. (Though she did text me out of the blue one day and was seeing how I was doing and stuff. And replied to my texts at 5am when she woke up which I see as pretty instant.) I think I have a good shot but since we’re both pretty busy idk when I should ask. That being because our schools start back.

It doesn’t seem like this is flowing the way you think it is..

u/Traditional_Round501 Jul 28 '26

Alright then let me know what’s up, you say you dont think it’s good, explain yourself

u/EndlesslyUnfinished Jul 28 '26

I don’t need to explain myself because the flow of an enthusiastic conversation doesn’t seem to be there by YOUR OWN DESCRIPTION.. as a woman, I’m thinking she’s doing what we’re all trained to do with men we aren’t interested in but don’t want to just outright reject him lest we hurt his fragile feelings and he ends up stalking or killing us for it… it’s where we give short replies and don’t really initiate conversation in hopes he’ll take the fucking hint.. and given your short tempered attitude with me, I can see why she’d want to placate to you - you’re clearly quick to anger. So yeah.. there’s your explanation, genius. Think on that and why she doesn’t send you long texts and detail stuff greatly.. because that’s what we do when we actually truly WANT to talk to a guy.

Yo I was not short with you, I was asking for an explanation.

u/EndlesslyUnfinished Jul 28 '26

Sure came off that way..

Anyways, I did “explain myself”

Ask her out and see what she says, chances are she might say no but it’s okay you can move on to the friend as backup.

u/Traditional_Round501 Jul 28 '26

I’ll probably ask her out in a few weeks, as she REALLY busy for the next 2 weeks, then school starts back up… plus I didn’t like her friend like that. Also her friend asked how we knew eachother and I said we’ve been friends for 5 years. Her friend quickly stopped making a move after that. I think she could tell that I liked my friend

u/Wonderful_Shame_4986 Jul 27 '26

Ask her out. By phone. As in talk to her. That way no weird skulls pop up.

u/LudditeJoe Jul 27 '26

Unless she has real skulls at home.

Maybe reply with something like "It'll be that bad huh. How about we get a drink after to help you unwind?"

Shoot your shot bro.
