Search Results: love question

I know this one girl because of us being in the same scholarship cohort. Before I used to always notice her staring at me and even when I was stare at her back she continued staring until I looked away. With that I was 80% sure she was interested. I didn’t bother talking to her because I was interested in someone else at the time (well for a long time). Recently I thought about trying to talk to her or at least to get to know her more. I have her phone number but that’s only from the group chat for the cohort. I personally thought it’d be better to add her on Snapchat since it’d be more casual but I also feel weird that I would be adding her through search. I’m not really sure how to go about this since I don’t want to come off too strong since I’d love to be friends with her too. Also since I’ve know her I never really talked to her either. We have the same interests and all. I also could very much so be overthinking this too. What are your opinions on this? Never used this site but I would assume I can reply to people so if you have any questions just ask.

I know this age identification thing is getting out of hand lol, but let me add context to my question:

When they asked Borges in an interview if he considered himself a man of the 19th century, he unquestionably answered, “Yes.” Borges was born in 1899.

I think it goes beyond having literally been born in that century. He despised his era; he despised what the 20th century brought to the world, so I see it more as a very conservative posture and identification rather than really meaning that he is someone from the 19th century, since he has no recollections from that century, and when we think about 20th-century figures, many of them were born in the 19th century (Hitler, Einstein, Churchill, Sartre, Kafka, Bertrand Russell, etc.). Borges did have a love for authors and philosophers of that century, and many of the anecdotes that he tells about his ancestors happened in the 19th century, so it is more of a longing than a literal identification.

So my question goes in a similar way: in what meaningful ways would you consider yourself to be a 20th-century person despite being mostly a 21st-century one? Or the world evolves so fast that it makes this impossible to answer as Borges did?
