I will die a single woman...I know it

[*~The Purple Pixie~*]

So there's this guy. He's a cashier at the local health food store, and i fancy him beyond belief. My mum said that he was looking at me when we went out shopping together a while back, and when I went in a different time we chatted a little and he ended the smalltalk with "You doing anything tonight?"
Dthe last couple of times iv been in its just been a smile and a hello. I need him...i love him.
I'm crying right now. Sobbing. Weeping tears no man will ever hear.
I have had the prospects of love apppear on the horizon so many times...only to fade. Other girls get what they want, but what about me? No guys seem to like me. All my girlfriends are like, "your beautiful...youll get a boyfriend" but...they all have boyfriends - proper relationships. Iv never had any.
I will die alone...unless i meet Eddie, the guy at the store. But i dont think he loves me. I dont think any guy does. I shall sleep alone tonight, and all those other nights. I shall sleep and I will weep...
I shall die alone.

You are aware that the cashier asked you out on a date, correct? If you passed up the opportunity, then you'll die alone...only because opportunity is presented at you and yet you reject it. A cashier isn't going to love you until he starts dating you; if you want him to love you, you've gotta do more than just small talk. Ask him out yourself. What do you have to lose? After all, you'll die alone right? Dying alone is worst case scenario, so only good things can happen between you and him. If you hate being single, do something about it. You know who you like, so be persistent. You only give up when you stop trying...so stop with the bullshit that you're gonna be single forever because I thought the same exact thing until I actually pursued women.

Oh my God thank you SO much! That's so sweet of you to be that honest! He did ask me out, didn't he? Damn, girl - why didn't you see that at the time! Haha seriously I went from crying to feeling top of the world, over the moon, cock-a-hoop!
Maybe I should say "you doing anything tonight?" to him? What do you think - you're a guy - you know about the minds of men haha!
Thanks! I have never been asked out before, its amazing!
Kisses and bundles of thanks, Brandon!

I am absolutely at a loss as to what the fuck it is you are saying.

He asked you out.

You are stressing over nothing.

I was feeling illogically heartbroken...looking back...wow I say some strange things at the darkest moments of my mind! He does like me! Yaaaaaaaaaayyyyy - happyyyyyy! ! ! ! ! ! **

Hey there Lydia. Relationship somehow grows from friendship, if you can't even get to know him and get closer to him how can there be love between the two of you? When there are chances, you shouldn't let it go just like that. Like Yogi and Brandon said, he was asking you out and it seems to me that you did nothing about it. And other girls have boyfriends because they put it their best efforts to build their relationships with the guys they like and you should've done the same thing rather than crying yourself to sleep.

And really, don't worry about dying alone. I wonder how old are you but somehow it's wrong if you think that you will die just because of this Eddie. Even if things just aren't going like how you expected it to be with him, you'll find another man who will love you with all his heart.

I have trouble with this because (and please don't take this too critically) I can't figure out if you're joking a bit about this or being 100% serious and really are just bouncing between emotional extremes.

Erring on the side of caution, girl, you need to relax in a big way. You went from unmerited depression (because the way you present it, he was definitely asking you out) to an excessively positive state. Try to find a balance! Yeah, you should definitely go back and ask him out - what do you have to lose? nothing - but don't start assuming that because he indicated some interest that he's in love with you (I know you didn't explicitly say that but it felt like you were heading there in your brain). And try not to get too hyped up on your own feelings: you don't love him, you don't KNOW him, you just really really really like your idea of him. Maybe he's really rad and you'll go out and things'll be just like you imagined or maybe he'll have jerk qualities that are hidden as of yet because you've only ever seen him at his place of work. Try not to invest yourself so much before you've done anything with him, that's a sure fire way to a) get hurt and b) look like a creepy stalker chick. Believe me, I've been there, it won't win you any brownie points no matter how genuinely interested you are.

Anyway, good luck with Eddie, or anyone else for that matter.
