About 2 years ago I meet this girl at work and I was taken away with her personality
and looks that it made my heart bother me so much for a number of weeks I took
beta blockers.

I called her ounce but kinda panic and said I would call back and never did. It has
been the biggest regret of mylife! Its like God(and I'm an atheist) produce this perfect
girl who I feel had a 50% chance of liking me and I blew it. I learned to drive a car just to
be able to be normal for her!! !! !! !(at age 34, I'm now 36).

I notice she had a listing on myspace maybe a year ago. I'm about 99.9% its her.Though she rarely logged on.

Well I finalily set up a profile on myspace like a few weeks ago and made her a favorite.

To my utter shock today she is listed as my friend and it says she logged on today.
What does it mean did she know she was on my favorite list. Like if I put her on my
list would she know it.

But more important what should I do?

Oh no my heart is pounding now and I'm out of breath.

Go for it. You need to be direct about things; being indirect is rarely an effective method. Be clear as to your intentions, and hope she says yes. If she says no, I'm sorry I gave such stupid advice. If she says yes, you're welcome, and I wish my advice worked so well for me.

I agree with subatai. Go for it.

Send her a message, be friendly at first, see how she responds. Ask how she's been doing. If she answers positively, reply a day or so later with a short chatty message, at the end of which you suggest coffee or whatever.

I will write her a short note mention who I am . She may not remember. Her picture
is listed but mines not. I plan on getting a hair cut and putting a few photo's on my
myspace page.

I never sent a request and I never agreed to her as a friend. I had her on my list of
favorites (with a few other people) and selected for it to not be public.

I got an e-mail from a user (via myspace)with a different name but when i clicked on the link
there was no message. I just assumed it was myspace trying to get me to
verify my account.

So that was one of my questions if a person is on your favorites list and they try to
make you a friend does it happen automatic?

Yeah she looks the same, has the same first name, lives in the same small town she
last said on the phone she move to.

Befor you go pick out the rings(thats what I would be doing in my head)...trick yourself,into believing she has a boyfriend but would like you to be her friend(I find it easy to trick myself into believing such things because I am very gullible)....then,being all cool and calm,with the mindset of reconnecting as friends...you can sweep here of her "computer feet" with your wit and charm....ask her how and what she is doing...chat for awhile before you ask her for a date....make her fall for you...and then(after playing the line and you know the hook is firmly lodged....snap your wrist(its all in the wrist) and reel her in....(after gutting ,you should season liberally with the spices of your choiceand grill over an open flame....or ask her out for a nice walk in the woods....then when there is no one else around...you bonk her over the head with handy cudgel/walking stick and drag her back to the cave)...the best of luck....we are all very happy for you...(except the guys who are really sooooo jelouse right now)

rent the movie, "Something about Mary" then give her a call.

If it was me, I would strait up say I regretted not calling a couple of years ago because I always liked you. 8) 8)

In the Favorites section there is an option there to view "People who Added me", so apparently your Favorites list is NOT private.

So send her a message already. Why do you even need to ask? Obviously you should send her a friendly message, and hope for a friendly response. Just do not declare your love for her in the first message!! ! And don't tell her she makes you breathless either :p

Seize the chance man or else your mind will eat itself with 'what if's'

I wrote a note. Note sure if it was good or bad. I will be upset if it goes bad but at
the same time I will get the "what if" out of my mind.

It has been a constant thought that this girl was as good as it gets and interested in
me and I blew it. So if I crash and burn it will hurt but I will get over it knowing I was
just having unrealistic thoughts.

But if it does go well I will likely die of a heart attack!! !

TM1, how could you??! !! ! I thought we had a spark. I thought we had true love. I guess I was wrong. I hope you and your heterosexual myspace friend are very happy together. :cry: :cry: :cry:
