...I've come here.

So I was talking with a friend the other night about a girl I used to have a thing for last year. Now, I haven't talked to this girl in over a year, nor have I seen her, but at the time, I was really falling hard for her. After telling her about this girl, my friend started badgering me to call her up, start talking to her again, and invite her to this function coming up this Thursday.

Should I go for it?

Pros:
This is probably the last opportunity in my life where I'll ever have the chance to do anything with this girl, who, I should disclose, is absurdly attractive. We hit it off pretty well (or at least I got that impression) back when we still talked, so there was probably something there. And if it doesn't work out, I'm going to be in Maryland 3 1/2 months from now, so no big deal.

Cons:
I'm graduating high school in a month, and with the exception of maybe one or two people, this will be the last time I ever spend time with any of these people ever again. So why not just get wasted and have a good time before we all have to take things seriously and avoid getting involved in any relationship issues right before I move halfway across the country? (I should also point out that I've just recently gotten out of a semi-serious relationship).

Advice would be appreciated.

Your story sounds a little bit like the movie "Can't Hardly Wait" made a few years ago with Jenifer Love Hewitt. I don't think you have much to lose if you invite her, especially since you'll eventually be in Maryland with or without her. Whatever the outcome you can still have a good time and get wasted too. You don't want to look back on this time and think about "what could have happened with this girl," do you? Your still young, just don't live your life with any regrets. Hope this helps and good luck.

Go for it, what do you have to lose? This isn’t a game for fools and you won’t live forever. I got into a relationship three months ago (it’s my first relationship, cut me some slack, I am a Smiths fanatic) and I bloody love it, I think it’s great. You should try and woe her and then bang get in there, my son! One word of caution though, your 18th Birthday could be problem, I had mine on the 19th of Last month, and my friends dragged me around in loads of clubs, pubs and bars, when one is drunk everyone looks attractive and hands can wonder.

Good luck, comrade.

Go for it, son. The worst that'll happen is she turns you down. Where will you be in Maryland. Come down to a DC United game and we'll show you around.

Surely your sig demands that you go for it, no? Get in there!

Annapolis (St. John's, not the Naval Academy).

And I guess there's a pretty clear consensus. Wish me luck.

I know the place well. i used to do research at the Maryland hall of Records which is on the St Johns campus. Do you play croquet? They have a death match with Navy every year in croquet and usually win. I am wishing you best leck. And seriously find you way to RFK -- give me a heads up and I'll get you into the barra.

Yeah, I know all about the croquet, and from what I observed when I visited, "practice" basically consists of getting an early start on your drinking. I may have to give it the old college try!

Yeah definitely gave a lot of activities the old college try, and with the first year of my college career coming to an end. I am quite happy with where I have come...note: sand volleyball all day in the sun with some (a lot) of beer in you is something I wouldn't recommend.

I'll play devils advocate- think about your poor self esteem- and the consequences of your actions.

If she looks you up and down and laughs- could this cause serious psychologial damage for years to come

You may not be able to ask out a gal anymore, due to the sheer fact you may be embarassed again.

Just kidding- get some balls mate and go ask!

She might be so good looking that no-one has asked her out and you being number one are in poll position.

Now- hows that for advice- I might start my own lonely hearts thread- El-Cap's corner- any takers????
