Take it from a middle aged guy who wants family and has none: the fear of asking her out is nothing next to the horror of being alone.

You can have both! I asked her a few times, but she moved away and married someone else, so I'm alone for now! Best of both worlds!

And for future readers, to learn from this:

In order to acquire something, learn to let go first.

Sorry, I'm not letting go of my Yu-Gi-Oh cards.

Yu-Gi-Oh before hoes.

(Joking. I'm married and we both sacrificed some things in our 15+ years of a relationship)

But if I'd let go first, I'd never have asked, at all. I think you all need to get your bumper sticker advice straight.

Edited to say: 1.) I'm not bitter, 2.) I'm totally fine with all this, 3.) I've so let go. Like, it's crazy how hung up I'm not.

You did the right thing.

For me, it wasn't fear of asking her out, it was that I had about 3/100 emotional hitpoints left and our respawn SUUUUCKSSS.

That’s called fear

Does it not matter why one is afraid? Is fear just bad? If it sends me into suicidal depression is that just the cost to maybe overcome the fear?
