New Body Shape, New Attraction

Hey MFP,
I really need your help here.
Recently I have been noticed more often by the women around me in every day life. Not a bad thing at all, but I'm torn.
You see, I know that physical attraction is important and part of the human condition, but I am concerned that this newly formed sexy body of mine isn't going to net me the woman I'm looking for.

I have and have had someone in mind for quite some time. Someone that I've grown to respect and care for deeply.
She's a bit younger than I am, but not much and lives in England most of the year.
I am worried she won't notice me if I don't approach her, but I am also worried she won't like me even if I do...
You see, she's pretty popular and goes to a really exclusive school; she's in something like a secret club and I think she might have feelings for this ginger kid she's always hanging out with.

What should I do?
I don't know any magic :(

-DWH

    Simple, club her over the head and drag her off.

    Done.

    If you dont go after what you want in life, someone else is going to. What does that leave you with?
    Nothing. Take out of life what you want, no one is just going to hand it over.

    Look at it this way, better to try and fail then to have never tried and live with failure.

  • Thanks, James!
    I am considering an act of bravery. What do you guys think?
    See, there's this kid that gives her and her friends grief all the time - a bully of sorts. Maybe I can confront him in her honor and impress her that way? Problem is that kid is highly skilled in self defense and I run the risk of serious injury, maybe even death.
    Plus he always has a few pals with him and they're sort of mean, too.

    Do you think it's worth it? I mean I really, really like her and I am willing to do it - I just feel like maybe I'm jumping into this idea half-cocked.

    Your profile says you are 28, but your post suggests you are 13. Most women don't want a man-child, so get t together.

    This sounds like one of the greatest plans ever. Can you post pics of the woman before we decide if its worth it.

    If you want to defend her honor because you think it's the right thing to do and you're capable of doing it then do so. Please do not risk life and limb to impress anyone! You could end up hurt AND alone!

    If you like her that much TALK to her. Let her know how you feel. Sometimes we don't get what we want because we don't go after it. The worse thing that can happen is she is not interested in you. If that's the case you hurt a little, grieve a little and then MOVE ON! But you'll never know if you don't ask! If she's not interested maybe she's not the one for you.

    Honestly, that might just turn her completely off, your interested in her not her problems. I met my wife through an EX girlfriend that kept threatening to commit suicide if i left her. When i saw my (now wife) no clue what she even thought of me, i totally threw myself to the wolves and called her. Stumbling the whole time, but even if i was shot down, i would have been happy with the fact of never having to tell myself "i should have done" "if only i had...." You are a person, she is a person, if the chemistry is there, it happens on auto pilot. If she doesn't think the same, something like defending her honor would really be embarrassing.
  • More great points made!
    I'm not sure how I would get on campus to confront him anyway, there's soem kind of special train you have to catch and I have no idea how to do that.

    Maybe this was meant to be a struggle and in the end everything will turn out as it should for both of us. It's just tough to watch her with other people, having fun, joking, laughing, flying, fighting evil - you know what I mean?
    I want her to be happy and live life, but I sure wish it were with me.

    Also I'm feeling some serious pangs of sympathy for a few of my friends right now whom are currently enrolled in school (since we're on the subject), and it's time to sound off.
    I'm not just talking about the staggering financial obligations, but the taxing requirements of time, focus and energy.
    But consider my plights as well; there's kind of a loose outlet, so I have the air freshener propped using three Game of Thrones Novels underneath a heavily leaning Corporate Finance book.
    My recreational and compulsory readings are forced to work in uneasy partnership to keep my room Bachelor Fresh. And I ain't paid **** to any university so I'm suffering under the terrible burden of how to properly enjoy my disposable income.
    WHEN WILL I BE AFFORDED AN APOLOGY FOR THESE HARDSHIPS?!
    WHEN WILL I SHARE THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE WOMAN I LOVE?!

    As a man-child, I find this horribly offense. Please stop with your personality shaming attitude.

    LOL. I wanted to think this was Dudley because that would make a super interesting pairing but you messed it up with those initials.

    Club him in the head. Threaten the others until they run off.

    Then drag him off.

    Done.
