a very close friend and ex-colleague of mine passed away last monday, he died in a car crash… it was the 3rd person I knew very well that died in the last 6 months… he was only 24 years old.
on the other hand,
there’s this girl who is also working with me. Who I became friends with and she, well ehm she’s really cute and (for the first time of my life) for some strange reason she is attracted to me. so I was going to ask her out last monday.
but then the terrible news of my friends death kicked in, so I didn’t ask her out, and now, I’m not really sure what I want anymore. I feel like a schizophrenic., one moment I am already walking up to her to ask her out but the next moment I feel so terribly guilty cause I’m in a sort of happy state…
Feeling guilty is natural. You’ve grieved, and if you can move on really quickly, then great for you. Don’t dwell on something that will disturb you for awhile, if you can help it.
Make your own decision rather than relying on the consensus from a bunch of stranger. Yeah, I’m being hypocritical, as I used to do that all the time- but really, you should just do what you think is right.
If you think it is right to wait, wait. If you think that you should ask her out, go for it.
