Finally.

[Il Palazzo]

Good man.

[Captain Mayday]

I'm glad things went well.

[Heron TSG]

Congratulations!

[Mindmaker]

Huh, I nearly expected this would go badly, considering how long it dragged on.
Good to hear it worked out well.

[inteuniso]

Congratulations, my brother! Now you can convert her to the ways of Dwarf Fortress!

Probably not a good first date idea though.

[GlyphGryph]

Good on ya. Sounds like a good start, and I really don't think she'd have said yes unless she was interested in you!

Of course, now where you find out whether your good friendship translates into a good relationship (not always true!), but let us hope for the best! Sounds like its off to a good start. ^_^

lol

Huh.  I'd seen this topic around for a long time and just decided to peek in for once and see what was going on.  Now I feel like that jerk who started watching your favorite TV series after it came out on DVD, and didn't have to deal with the cliffhangers.

People don't just get into relationships because they're "willing".  (Well, there's crazy people, but ignore them, they suck.)  Put all such thoughts out of your mind.  You might have thought the "as long as it doesn't affect our friendship" is a worried thing, but I figure it's the opposite.  Instead of trying to put a limit on the relationship, she's just giving you both an out to go back to friendship in case it doesn't work despite both your best efforts.

So, you know, go take her out to dinner and then continue with the normal friendship stuff interspersed with dates.  All cool.

I got her to read Boatmurdered some time ago, she doesn't want to play Dorf Fort but loves the stories.

'Gratz, Kaiser.

Now that you've actually taken the first step, the rest will come naturally, you know, unless it doesn't. But I have faith in you, my fellow B12er!

And now I wish that I had thought of using the Kamina Quote at some point. SUCH A WASTED OPPORTUNITY. I am dissapointed in  myself.

[Kaiser Reinhard]

It's not all sunshine and rainbows, though.

I was talking with her a bit more on the subject over IM, and she said that while she's perfectly alright with me having a crush on her, she's still unsure about if she feels anything romantic towards me and doesn't feel that she's ready to commit.

To be honest I was quite moved over how she was still willing to remain close friends despite how I felt, but the question of if she'll reciprocate still remains. Still, if she's known for so long, it gives some of the things she did with me new context, but that's just being hopeful.

Good on her.

Give her some time, I guess, and then ask her on a date.  Not too much time, though >:I

[GlyphGryph]

She might not share the opinion but frankly, I'm a believer that romance is something that can be developed and doesn't always have to be "boom chemistry" beyond the clicking of personalities that also happens with good friends.

She doesn't have to commit yet! You're just going to be dating, trying things on for size, not getting married or even moving in together - if it turns out she's not enjoying herself, its over. Hell, it may turn out you yourself realize it's not as good an idea as you thought. Just try to enjoy yourselves and roll with it either way (and stay friends, damn it!).

If she's known for a long time and still doesn't know whether she likes you back that can only be a good thing. In my experience most girls are pretty sure when they don't like someone, and don't trust themselves when they do. Just see her as often as you can, take it slowly and you might get a relationship there :]
