Hey everyone!
This is part rant/need some support.
Brief synopsis: This weekend I was cockblocked on Friday night and Sunday afternoon by my crush’s girlfriends. Friday night was a Happy Hour mixer. I made my way into my crush’s circle of girlfriends and chatted them all up. (And please note none of her girlfriends were hostile to me. They were there having a good time hanging out. I do not blame them.) I was hoping that I would have a moment with my crush alone to ask her for her phone number. I hung on up until the end of the night but it was to no avail.
I knew I would see her on Sunday at church and would have a chance to talk to her during coffee hour after service and long story short it was a repeat of Friday night. I will have a chance to see her again on Tuesday and hoping for another shot. A part of me says ” fuck it I don’t care who is around, just ask for the number already!!!” but that is not the best strategy. I’m hoping for a moment, even if it’s for a few second to get the words out, even if she says no, I took the shot and I can be proud of myself.
And again, I’m not angry at her friends. I wasn’t getting any vibes form any of them that they were trying to “protect” her from me and quite frankly I enjoy their company. But the fact is I want to ask my crush for her number alone to save the both of us the embarrassment whether it’s yes or no. I’m frustrated!
Guys: Ever been in this situation? What happened?
Ladies: Ever think your well-meaning but oblivious friends are inadvertently cockblocking you when you go out? Have you had the jealous friend in your circle actively mess a chance encounter up for you?
It’s tough approaching a girl, let alone a group of girls!
Thank for hearing me out.
