So, I'm not gonna go over my last post here, but I have an update to the situation. I got J an early Valentine's Day gift on Wednesday, and it didn't go very well. I got her a box of chocolates and a card that asked her out but said I didn't want to make anything weird. And she didn't even talk to me about it. I tried speaking to her on Thursday but she said we'd talk later. I feel both extremely embarrassed and a massive dip in my self confidence. And to think I really liked her...
I don't know what to do anymore. I don't want this to ruin our friendship. Nor do I wish to make anything awkward at all. I know she probably feels just as awkward and embarrassed about it, but I have no idea anymore. This whole thing has just sort of made me give up on seeking a girlfriend. I have come to the realization that I don't need to be the one to pursue. That I don't have to be the one to ask the other out. But this whole thing had made me completely demoralized and the only thing that's made me feel better is MCR songs. What hurt the most though is that she couldn't even give me a yes or no. She couldn't even talk to me, as if we both aren't adults. I'd like advice because I'm definitely at a crossroads here.
TL;DR: I gave my crush a Valentine's Day Gift and asked her out, and she didn't even talk to me. Now I feel demoralized, empty, and sorry for my pathetic self.
