>close friends with qt 3.14 in grade school (lets call her Elle)
>she's a total weeb, or "otaku" in her own terms
>some girls from my class hate her. whether this stems from jealousy i will never find out.
>im into anime, but probably not on her tier
>cosplays in events
>one time i met her in the mall with my mom and she cheerfully called to me. my mom teased me about her afterwards.
>my best friend wants to go out with her and its her birthday in a few days (lets call him Joe)
>i tell him her favorite anime (it was a secret though) and told him it might be nice to give her merch from that show (that was originally my plan)
>fast-forward few days
>Elle is thrilled with the gift(s) Joe gave her (he literally splurged)
>She then confronts me afterwards and is angry with me. she realized i told Joe what she likes.
>she then asks me if i had anything for her birthday
>i dont. i realized that if i gave her a gift the same time Joe did i would ruin his chances at her.
>i dont recall what happened after that but i assume it wasnt pretty, although i think she cried
>went to different high schools afterwards
>fast forward to now
>she is a famous cosplayer now and has a shit-ton of followers
>never communicated to her since
>everytime i want to pm her, a sinking feeling swirls inside my stomach
i've always felt like i missed a vital point in my childhood
Stop being a wuss and contact her! She'd probably love to hear from you.

it's been like 10 years and i feel like an asshole for suddenly talking to her after ignoring her fb all these years
>>35377816
If it comes to that bridge, walk over it but a simple "Hello, it's been years yadda yadda" isn't gonna hurt.
>>35377905
This will look like your only talking to her for some famous pusspuss
Please try.
Just be honest, tell her the truth.
You maybe won't like her reaction but YOU HAVE TO TRY or you'll regret it.
Do it, and I hope it'll go as good as possible.
>>35378646
im afraid of rejection by trying
>>35379193
Dont then. Just feel sorry for yourself for 10 more years
>>35379193
either you feel awkward for a few moments or you feel this way for the rest of your life. your choice anon :^)
>>35379299
>>35379250
i mean, she's a hotshot nowadays so wouldnt it be normal to feel awkward?
If you contact her and she rejects you, the only thing that changes is that you are now free of the burden of these ugly feelings
Prove she's famous and tell her what she's called or you're just a role playing faggot
>>35379424
i guess that makes sense.
tnx /r9k/, i never thought talking to strangers felt more satisfying than talking to real people
>>35379489
Don't forget to tell us how it went, anon
