Came very close once, NGL. If some key moments in the years beforehand were different, I might have had the necessary experience, confidence and "6th sense" to push it over the finish line.
Instead, I waffled, didn't know what to do, and she found out from one of our mutuals what I was thinking. She awkwardly said she didn't want to date anyone. I then committed the FELONY of asking if she knew anyone who was single and interested. She has hated me ever since, as if she walked in on me wearing her father's skin like clothing.
TBH I'd be happy with the whole situation if she just messaged me and said "No hard feelings. That was a long time ago." But she will die hating me, until the very end.
