Abridged version:
I'm at a festival of some flavour, when I meet two boys, D and V.
They are both quite nice. But V is a LOT HOTTER than D. And I want V more.
V doesn't fancy me. At all.
Don't get any.
Move forward a year and a half. I've built up a friendship with both, not got off with either of them. Still like V like mad.
Go on a night out with both.
Decide it's now-or-never for getting off with V, and if not, I'll just go for D.
Get off with D
(from now on, assume I'm talking about D)
Don't speak for ages, as he's gone off to uni.
We talk near new year, we arrange to meet for drinks. Someone tells me that he's calling it a "date".
I get panicky when he doens't text to confirm. So I call him, getting answerphone.
Don't realise said calls are registering. Fuck THAT one up.
See him at a party. Talk a bit. Hit someone.
Go and suck him off on a trampoline.
Haven't really talked since.
Do I ask him for drinks, or is it a monumentally bad idea?
UPDATE: Texted. Simply "What are you doing tomorrow? x"
Am yet to see if this will result in a date to KFC.

Asking for a drink is not the same as going for a drink.
I don't want to scare him too much and be too pushy. And he'll say no, and I'll get hurt by the rejection.
I should just leave it, but I don't know.

You know you are likely to do it so it's easier to stop yourself.

I don't think he likes me.
He's not really going to care if he never talks to me again.
He's shaved his hair off.
But he's LOVELY!

He doesn't want you
He doesn't like you
He doesn't look so pretty anymore
Why are you wasting your time on him?
If he's LOVELY!, keep him as a friend, nothing more.

If someone gave you a nice pair of shoes, say on a trampoline, then asked to see you again a few months later would you want to see them again.
The only problem is if there's a new cobbler.

Though as I am with EVERY burnt out relationship, I'm the go-to for complaining that the person you like is unavailable/I don't know how to get her/I'm feeling so alone.

but I assume it was in a high pitched voice.

Ask him for a drink and if he says yes then woo, if not then he was your second choice anyway!
( , Tue 16 Jun 2009, 22:11, Reply)

If you're not too fussed, ask him out.

Ironically D's been one of the guys who's telling me to have more respect for myself.
Still, in the words of my ex, the only affection he's ever shown me is in letting me suck him off.
( , Tue 16 Jun 2009, 22:14, Reply)

If that's all the affection he's shown you? I don't know anything about you, but I'm guessing even you know you can do better than that?
( , Tue 16 Jun 2009, 22:16, Reply)

"even you could do better than that"
and I had a go at you for being harsh.
( , Tue 16 Jun 2009, 22:22, Reply)

WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I?
Better judgement says no.
B3ta says no.
Friends say no.
Friends of D say no.
I say wut?

and very insecure. So even when I have friends saying I'm great, lovers saying I'm great, exes saying I'm great, I just don't believe it.
And I go for the ones that don't like me.

Guys like him will only make you feel more insecure.

If it's not to long, and you like him, go for it.
If it's been ages, pack up your bags and move on... or wait until a nutural friend can put two-and-two together.
It's a shame that 'D' is your second choice, but I guess that's how life works out, I'ld find that quite insulting... but not insulting enough for me to turn the girl down, if I like her.
( , Tue 16 Jun 2009, 22:21, Reply)

It was meant to be a secret.
I think he knew he was second choice, but I just really liked him.
It's been about a month and a half I think. Maybe.

you switch to "he" and "him" at the end and its not clear whether you mean D or V.

I'm just saying.
