/qa/ - Question & Answer

Today I had planned to tell the girl I like, that I have feelings for her and if she would like to be my girlfriend

The plan was to go slow and then strike, but when I was about to tell her, she started talking to me about a friend we had last year (But since he was a fucking retarded faggot, we preferred to distance ourselves from him). The thing was that he spoke to her again but only to bother her again about whether she saw him as a candidate to be her boyfriend and if she saw herself as his partner in the future

Cause this guy had been raisinty to her before and practically harassed her with the same question, she told him to fuck off. When she told me all this, it cut me off and, with great sadness, but out of respect for her, I had to swallow my confession for another time. I don't think it's good for her to have two retarded come and ask her the same question in the same week
Any ideas on what I should do? Aside from the obvious giving her some space and time?
