I apologize fore it being long, but I wanted to accurately describe the situation.
I messaged this girl online, through MySpace (back when it was relevant lol) and I forgot what I said but I complimented her and gave her my number. She later texted me and we have been texting ever since, not anything routine or serious. The girl is absolutely gorgeous but I am not all over her or doing anything that would make me come off as intimidated or desperate.
I am sure she has guys complimenting her and probably trying to date her all the time so I have done things to disassociate myself from them.
I have delayed meeting with her in person because I am stupid and self conscious lol and wanted to lose some weight before I did so. I know I am stupid lol you can tell me and like I said I am a work in progress.
She had a long distance (out of the country) relationship that ended right around December of last year. Her interest rose around that time and continued to rise after. Her Birthday was January 30th of last year and I sent her a fruit bouquet. She immediately called me when she got it, I purposely didn’t answer lol but she left a real good voicemail. By this I mean you could tell she was excited and surprised by it and asked me to call her back. I called back and had a good conversation with her. Also, I purposely missed her Birthday party which was that weekend in Dallas where I live, she lives two hours away.
We continued to talk occasionally through text after that. Before Valentine's Day she posted some suspicious FB statuses. I forget exactly what they said but I remember her implying that she was hoping on getting something and jokingly said she liked chocolate covered strawberries (which I sent her as part of the fruit bouquet). For some reason, I assumed she was trying to give hints to another guy, since I live two hours way and have not met her in person. I also remember bringing up Valentine’s Day in a conversation and her telling me that she was going to spend it with her mom. I jokingly told her that she was a liar and that I am sure she had a line of guys trying to take her out. She responded that had some but none of them interested her. To my surprise I received a txt message from her on the morning of Valentine’s; she said that she came to Dallas the night before and went out with friends. She told me that the friend she stayed with had gone to work and she was home alone and was not feeling too good because she had drinks last night and did not sleep well. Basically, she was implying “hey I am in the city you live in. I am alone and have nothing to do” on Valentine’s Day. Like I said I was surprised by it but I was excited because it showed to me that she was interested (or at least I think so.) I also wondered if I was the guy she was trying to give hints to on FB. Well, I ended up talking to her on the phone that morning and had a good conversation; she was acting kind of shy actually. I told her I had to work and used that as an excuse to avoid seeing her, because of my insecurities. (Stupid) We ended up agreeing to have dinner another time, when she came to Dallas or went back home but that never happened.
She ended up getting a boyfriend, sometime after that and we still have not met in person!!! I know I can only blame myself because I did not act when I had the chance. She is still someone I would consider dating, in fact, she is at the top of the list.
We still txt and communicate on FB, although not as much, she used to like and comment almost everything I posted on FB. (This might be irrelevant but there is an App on FB that ranks your “fans”, she was my #1 for a while.) I have texted her and not received a response, but then she’ll randomly text me later. As a result I have decided to seek advice, which led me to this site. I want to be smart about this and take more of a proactive approach. My goal is to rebuild or develop a relationship or attraction between us and position myself to be at an advantage when she becomes single again.
I say that without hesitation because I can almost assure you that she will eventually be single. She has a bad habit of posting her feelings as statuses on FB, which I don’t like but I have used that to my advantage and gained insight on her and her relationship. Her status a few days ago was “heartbroken” and the one before that was “Confused” and her bf commented apologizing.
She texted me a week ago, actually one of those corny fwd messages but I played along and replied. That obviously brought her to my attention and that is the exact moment, where I decided that I really need to find a way to eventually have a great relationship with this girl. I talked to my friend and got some advice and I also have been researching.
I did my first “smart move” by effectively complimenting her; she does some promo modeling work on the side and posted pictures on FB. After reading some advice, I sent her a specified compliment, I said “I see you doing the modeling thing again; it makes me want to buy a ticket to Vegas.” (She was doing a promo for Las Vegas traveling), she liked it and replied, and then I told her that I was happy to see her modeling again because I know that is what she likes doing. She replied again but I decided to stop texting her, and leave a good last impression for now. *Note- In a previous conversation, she told me that she enjoys modeling and wants to be a TV reporter but she feels that her family and friends don’t support her.
Today I get on FB and I see her status-
“Sooo I get up this morning to find out someone broke into my car! ;( damn to those who did it!!!

“
I want to comment or message her something to cheer her up and help my cause as well, I did a google search which led me to this site. The best advice I found so far is either to not say anything to avoid being associated with something negative or to say something along the lines as, “that sucks , that happened to me before and show her that you understand and are there for support.”
I want to get your opinion on that specific question and on the situation in general.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Like I said I think the girls is gorgeous and I can see myself in a relationship with her more than any other girl I met. So I am making an effort to make that happen. If I could ask for one favor, it would be if you could please not answer the question like my friend lol. He basically told me; well you should have done this and this and this at the beginning. I had to explain to him that I do not own a time machine and I was unable to travel back in time before gave me relevant advice. Also know that I am not emotionally attached to this girl and I am not setting myself up for heartbreak by “waiting” for this girl. I am living my life and would continue to do so, it just happens to be that this girl stands out to me and I would like to make up for previous mistakes and make the best out of the situation.
Thanks
Notes that might help:
On my insecurities, I used to weight 360 and now I weigh 230, been as low as 200.
I am working on completely overcoming them; I am real good at hiding them but at times they do prevent me from making a move.
Although we have never met in person and have taken it real slow, I feel like it has helped because we have gotten to know each other pretty good and she has opened up to me about more personal issues.
I keep her laughing and she has come to me for advice and encouragement.
I don’t like this but she kind of seems like one of those girls who are always in a relationship, like they break up and get into one rather fast. If anything I am the exact opposite, I am career minded and don’t have much time for games which most relationships are).
