If you don't ask for it, you won't get it. The worst that could happen is "no." The best relationships I've had, I grabbed.
My first kiss - I was 17. The guy took me to a romantic park in the evening, beautiful full moon. We were sitting next to each other on a bench and I leaned over and kissed him. He was fun to kiss.
When I was 19, I heard that "no". My best friend, I wanted to make it more. He didn't. No harm done. We're still good friends.
S - He asked me to parties and bars, but I'm not into those things. So one day he mentioned he was going to help out with a community theatre strike (after the show, take apart the set). I offered to meet him there. He was shocked. We spent the day working our bums off, me outperforming him with the powertools. When we got back to our cars, I recommended we get some ice cream and go to his place to watch a movie. Again, he was shocked. We ate that quart of Ben&Jerry's, watched some movie I don't recall, and we didn't step apart for 48 hours.
Tt - He didn't seem interested in me as other than a friend. We were at his house, watching some sort of sports programming. He seemed to be actively trying to ignore my advances (turns out he was oblivious). Finally I said, "I'd really like you to kiss me." He looked at me for a moment, thought about it a little, then did. That was Feb. 2004. We're getting married this June.
