Search Results: getting second chances

Last semester is when I met her. Long story short, I liked her, I thought she liked me but she seemed genuinely shy around only me. I tried 3 times to ask her out, the first time I chickened out, the second time a distraction prevented it from happening. The third time was at the end of the semester, and after a long time of never getting another chance to ask her out, I wrote a note to which she never replied, though she did still pay attention to me after, putting herself in a few situations in which she easily could’ve avoided me but chose not to, and I think she’s still not avoiding me when she can.

This semester I haven’t talked to her. There have been times where I’m standing in the hall and I think I see her look at me as she walks by. For quite a few weeks I’ve seen her look in at where I usually sit, whether it be at me or that general direction if I don’t get that seat that day. There was a time I saw her on a day I shouldn’t have, she looked straight down when she saw me.

There have been a few times where she’s parked in the spot right next to my usual spot. I’ll be sitting in my car not doing anything or drawing attention to myself while in between classes. When she’s in her car, the few times she was next to me (I know for a fact) I’ve seen her each time look like she was looking in my general direction before quickly turning and looking at me or just looking out the corner of her eye. She’s really bad at hiding it. But after the look, she looks like she doesn’t care, just carries on as normal like I don’t mean anything to her or that I’m invisible to her.

I sit in my car in between classes which is an hour long break. She will usually get back to her car before I get out of mine to go to my next class. There have been a few times where I’ve seen her take a quick 1 second look at me when she’s walking to her car. It’s like she’s looking straight or whatever and then she suddenly gets distracted by my car out of every car on the lot.

Let's say that you've been chatting with this guy on an online dating platform, and you accept his offer to meet up, and go on your first date with him. You already know that he's an artist; and when he meets you, he's carrying a backpack with him, which contains a small portfolio and his art materials. You go to a cafe to chat, and in the course of your conversation, you ask if you can take a look at some of his work. Smiling, he happily agrees, and opening up his portfolio, takes out and shows you his latest piece of artwork, "drawn just last night, especially for you"- a portrait of you, adapted from one of your profile pictures on the online dating site, but in which you've been divested off all clothing to be fully nude, just like this picture here:

He hands it over to you, and tells you that you're welcome to keep it, or do whatever you want with it. So, girls, if a (fairly handsome, athletic, dashing and debonair) guy did this, adapting one of your profile pictures and handing you a nude sketch of yourself like the one above, on your first date (along with assurance that it's the only one in existence), how would you react? What would you say to him upon seeing it, what would you do with the picture (frame it and treasure it, take it and hide it away, scrumple it up and toss it in the nearest trashcan, tear it apart and toss it in his face, or spit on it and try shoving it down his throat?), and how would you feel about it? What kind of chance would the guy have of getting a second date with you?
