    Leave her alone. Chasing her when she's mad gives her all the power and makes you look needy. Let her get over her anger, and then you can take off from where you left off. If you chase her while she's mad, it only makes her madder. And, don't kid yourself, you typed in her name because you'd like it to go further. She's probably mad because she's been waiting for you to ask her out. Why else would she get mad over something so trivial ?

      well, an year ago, she came to know that i had liked her when we first met her. and she came to the conclusion that i always had those feelings whenever i was with her . i dont deny having those feelings. may be i had those feelings somewhere deep in my mind. may be thats the reason why i put her name in the crush calculator. also, during an argument, i have talked to her in such a way that i hurt her the most. but, even i dont know what exactly she is angry about now. she just said that i have hurt her again by reminding of all the ugly situations that we faced a year back. please nish, can u give me any advice??? i really need help to get out of this.

        I've only got one relationship right in my life; every other relationship I had was messed up. So I am not really the best person to take advice from, but you could email her - unlike a phone call, where she can refuse to pick up the phone, or an SMS message where you can't put a lot of text, an email allows you to write a detailed mail that explains how you feel. If she really likes you (even as a friend), she's bound to reply to you or at least communicate with you.

        Regards, Nish

          So, she thinks that the act of entering her name in this crush calculator was demeaning? Friendship is based on honesty, and you are not being honest with her if you deny your feelings for her. All you can do is tell her how you feel, and if necessary (for friendships sake) you may need to walk away. If you are truly her friend, honesty is the only policy. Yes, it may hurt you, but living a lie is much worse. Remember though, that while other people can give advice, only you can decide what is best for you, so don't let anybody else "steamroller" you into something you don't want to do. Good luck.

Slartibartfast - "No. That's perfectly normal paranoia. Everybody in the universe gets that." Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

              hello CPians. i got a lot of help from u all regarding programming. your suggestions has helped me to over come many of my problems regarding programming. but i now have a personal problem. can anyone give any suggestions to me in this. i am quite sure that i will get some sensible advice from u all. i have a friend who is very close to me than anyone else among my friends. in fact, she is my Best Friend ever.we are friends since 4 years. we were such good friends that others would envy us looking at our friendship. But last year, on 29th december, i received a mail called as "crush calculator" from one of my other friend. it asked me to enter the name with whom i had a crush with. i just had a try on it giving my friend's name. but the mail was such that whatever name we typed in the crush calculator, it will be sent to the sender of the mail. My friend came to know that i used her name in crush calculator. on 4th december last year, we had an argument with each other. that argument made the issue even a bigger one. soon, she was so furious that she didnt even talk to me for months. But later, after me putting a lot of effort, we again gradually became friends . our friendship was getting back to normal but i made a mess of my relationship with her again. two days back , i just reminded her of that incident again that took place exactly an year ago. i said her that it will be exactly one year that we were involved in an argument. and since i reminded her about that issue which had hurt her the most, she is again unhappy with me. she said that i have irritated her and hurt her again by reminding about the past incident. since its the second time that i have made a mistake, she is even more furious this time. she has again stopped talking to me. she is not receiving my call on the phone either. she is not replying to my mails or messages :sigh:.what should i do??? i feel like kicking myself for what i have done. most of my other friends tell me to give her some time. but i am not the one who waits for things to happen. i feel that things are not going to be better unless we talked on the issue. i have already apologised her for what i have done. but no response from my friend yet.i need an advice on what to do in order to get back my friend who is not even ready for talks. i have been in this situation earlier. but i dont want to wait for months to have this situation get better. i am looking out of sorts and dont know what to do. can anyone advice me on what to do??? please??? -- modi

                Hey man, This post sure did get alot of replies. It is never easy when a man and a woman have a problem. I am not saying anything wrong about women. You have to keep in mind that your gender plays a big part on how you think and handle different problems. But, I hope you don't take this wrong man, from reading just a few of your responses here what I see: 1. Whether it is love or lust you got it bad for her 2. She doesn't 3. She is not that good of a friend for you 4. You probly feed her ego and you didn't even know it that is why when you did something other than make her feel good, she dropped you like QBasic. My advice: 1. Leave her alone 2. The less you chase her the less power you give her over you 3. If she is to be a good friend she will come back to you 4. Quit applogizing to her 5. Remember you were you before there was her, so be you Good luck, Jason

My friend came to know that i used her name in crush calculator. on 4th december last year, we had an argument with each other. that argument made the issue even a bigger one. soon, she was so furious that she didnt even talk to me for months. But later, after me putting a lot of effort, we again gradually became friends . our friendship was getting back to normal but i made a mess of my relationship with her again. two days back , i just reminded her of that incident again that took place exactly an year ago. i said her that it will be exactly one year that we were involved in an argument. and since i reminded her about that issue which had hurt her the most, she is again unhappy with me. she said that i have irritated her and hurt her again by reminding about the past incident. since its the second time that i have made a mistake, she is even more furious this time. she has again stopped talking to me. she is not receiving my call on the phone either. she is not replying to my mails or messages :sigh:.what should i do??? i feel like kicking myself for what i have done. most of my other friends tell me to give her some time. but i am not the one who waits for things to happen. i feel that things are not going to be better unless we talked on the issue. i have already apologised her for what i have done. but no response from my friend yet.i need an advice on what to do in order to get back my friend who is not even ready for talks. i have been in this situation earlier. but i dont want to wait for months to have this situation get better. i am looking out of sorts and dont know what to do. can anyone advice me on what to do??? please??? -- modi

                              My future advice to you is: never EVER open a crush calculator again! They are EVIL. But the only way to actually cross back after using a Crush Calculator, is to use a Sorry Calculator, which will email the person you type in saying you're sorry, and things should go back to the way they were for you. :)

                                Why does your post remind me of one of those "Dear Sir, you are a wonderful person and because of that I need your bank account information to deposit a billion trillion dollars left behind by my rich uncle..." Marc

                                What on earth is that poor chap asking you apart from advice? :confused: A shade crabbier than usual today, are you? ;)
