My name is Christopher Jones and my birth date is November 18th, 1985, I was wondering if you might know when I might start dating, finding my soul mate. I have this one girl who I've been interested in, her name is Erika Hoffmann, she was born on November 12th, 1990 and we stay in the same apartment complex and go to the same university, cal state Fullerton. I would love to ask her out but am afraid of weirding her out and have her think that I'm being too forward. I feel that I've been focusing on school and trying to find a job and school has been turning out well so I'm happy with that and I'm happy with myself which I know is an important thing as well so I feel things have been going well. But, i guess it gets hard sometimes when I don't have stuff to do and I think about having that special someone to call up to hang out with to get to know that I find myself try to reach out to girls that I've met and talk to them and try and get to know them and hang out with them but I am afraid that I will push them away and be too forward which has happened to me many times so I pull back and just try to keep them as friends, which is great, but, I just feel sometimes like I want to get out of the friend's zone that I always find myself in and I want to know what it's like to have that special someone in my life. My friends are sometimes surprised when I tell them how I've never had a girlfriend before and I'm already 23 years old. I know that school and work are important, I just wish that I could be in that group of people that have both and not have to playing the waiting game anymore. Anyways, thank you for taking the time to read this message and I hope to hear from you soon.
