How old are you, Mike?

22, she's nearly 21. It all may sound stupid, but christ knows why I can't just let it go.
Mike, have you considered beating her to f**king death? I mean, I know it's technically illegal, but it would sort the matter once and for all. Only a suggestion.
This is turning into Mills and Boons for the easily exited.
I have thought of that, I guess it was a Peep Show moment of a thought you shouldn't express, but your mind can't help coming up with it.
Or just ask her if she fancies a pork pie and bag of nuts at the Kings Head after work. Tell her if she behaves herself you might even treat her to a barley wine.
Other than killing her, I did think about texting her or just going up to her and saying "look what's going on, are we done and dusted or what?" - but then I just thought if she really was interested, she would have taken me up on my 4th date offer.
Only trouble is, we have our buildings Christmas meal this month, only six people going including me and her. Should be interesting.

Do you think you might possibly have a fear of rejection? 
It is better to reject fear than to fear rejection.

No, I don't think so, I wouldn't have asked her out in the first place if that were the case.
Did you 'ask her out' ask her out, or just ask her out?
My exact words were "I was just wondering whether you'd like to go out sometime" - so I asked her on a date, but if I feared rejection then I wouldn't have even bothered. I fear rejection in clubs and bars, but not so much when you take the time to know someone a little first.
Okay.
For those of you that care, and who have taken an interest today, is my best bet just to leave it?

Ah, well, there we are, then, 'just wondering'....far too vague. You should be more demanding. Really lay it on the f**king line.

What, you mean, like what we said the last time this came up?
