Right, well the reason this is here is because in few weeks, I'll be spending about a week with a girl I've known and been friends with for a long time, who I doubt I'm really ever gonna see again. I've come to realise that I have feelings for her, something beyond your basic friendship. There's a problem: She already has a boyfriend. I don't know if these feelings are brought on by the fact she's leaving, or that she has a boyfriend, but frankly, I don't care. All I care about is making her smile as much as possible during that week, so at least I'll have the memories. It's not like we'll be out of contact, but that doesn't change the fact I want to stay with her, to see the smile on her face. This is why I'm here. I don't... I'm not really sure how I can say goodbye, seeing as she's been such an influence on my life. At the end of the day, as long as she's happy, that's all I need. But, how do I tell her that without pressurizing her? I've never met this boyfriend, but I don't want her to choose between us. She shouldn't have to, and I don't want to make her feel like that. I know I'll have to tell her how I feel, and I've been thinking of buying her something... memorable, ya know? If I do, well, what should I get? If I'm sounding weird, or asking a lot, it's because really, I have no idea what I'm doing with this. Basically, I'm just asking how I should go about this so I don't end up hurting her, I care for her too much to see it end that way. So if anyone has any help or advice, please share. I'd appreciate it. Cheers dudes and dudettes.
Ugh I don't know if guys will ever get this. You don't buy memories. You make them so try putting your feelings into poetry. I suggest writing your feelings before you go because that way you can place it somewhere she will find it. When she finds it she will ask who it is about then you say it is about her. All girls are different so I won't know the reaction but that is how I think I would like to find out.
Aw, you seem like a nice dude, bro. Just try to make her feel as happy as possible, and put in a few hints here and there to make yourself sound cute or something xD you won't have to worry about you trying to admit that you love her, she'll begin to like you C: The best thing is memories and pictures, believe me =]
No offense, but I think you've misunderstood me. I wasn't trying to "Buy memories", I'm trying to think of a way to symbolise our memories together these past years. The memories are already made, I just want her to see them the way I did. Poetry isn't a bad idea though, Thank you. Haha, thanks but she knows me too well to be subtle about these things. I'll be sure to take loads of pictures though.
I dunno if you need a comment like mine...But if you're sure you care about her so much, then you might as well make sure that you tell her. If there's something you want in life, you fight for it. ...Within reason of course. Not sure of what else to put here. <<; Sorry. Good luck though.
When it comes to symbols you have to interpret them but poetry will express every moment of your feelings during those memories.
