Is this initiative or just stalker-ish?

Hello all sifus, I remember coming here for advise a long time ago and now finally after 7 years another girl has caught my eye and I need more help.

First, I give you all a bit of background in regards to my "history". So I'm 25, and in 25 years on this planet I've only ever fell for two ladies. One was about 7-8 years ago, whom I knew IRL, blah blah blah, tak jadi langsung, withdrew from all romantic interest for like 5 years plus.

Oh, and it should also be known that I am choosy as f*** when it comes to girls. With the amount of criteria and deal-breakers that I have, you'd think I look like Brad Pitt x David Beckham x Bradley Cooper but no really I'm as average as average comes. And there is also no middle ground for girls with me. Meaning, either I fall head over heels for her (based on personality, no serious lol), or it's 0 chemistry and I'm not even thinking like "hmm decent girl, should I get to know her?". So basically, what I'm trying to say is, I always KNOW which girl is for me or is not for me. Bear in mind also these two ladies which I fell for are not like supermodels-hot, I don't even like hot clubbing girls. They are like homely, educated and girl next door type. (Which I totally dig)

So now the issue: (There is no issue with girl 1. That's just for some context).

I "met" this lady on a dating website...let's just call her S since she's the subject. A few photos and whatever she wrote on her profile was all I had to work with in regards to finding out what kind of person she is. Attracted by her photo? Yes, but more so on her interest and her general outlook in life (Based on the quiz! LOL). Now S has a very unique username on said dating website. So I googled it (This is normal, right? Errr right.....?) and lo and behold, S happens to be on LYN forums too.

Ok so I've sent her a message on the dating site. But her last login was like 5 days before I sent her a message and now it's been like 3 days. The thing is, she has been really active on LYN so do you think it's kinda stalker-ish to PM her on LYN about something totally not LYN related. I was thinking somewhere along the lines of "Hey I saw you profile on ABC.com but since you haven't logged back in, I hope you don't mind if I use this line of approach" <<<Can fly? I'm sure wording can be adjusted so the message comes off more proper sounding lol.

And yes, this is important to me....I wasn't looking to fool around when I created a profile, more out of boredom. And now Cupid decided to throw me a bone that is sadly out of reach. When I look at her photo I feel like "wow, she's quite sweet" but when I read her profile is when my heart skips a beat and I get that general sense of excitement from meeting a new (significant) person. I'm afraid I'll never meet or it'll take me another 5 years to meet a girl my heart accepts.

The way I look at it, I have three options:

1. Wait until she logs in on ABC.com (which might be never).
2. PM on LYN and run the chance of coming off as a creeper.
3. Abandon ship boys (and regret forever?)

So that's the situation report. Please advice.

*Edit* All these happened like in the past week. In case timeline is a factor to your advice.

Display driver has stopped working but has recover

Hello to all sifus and gurus. Please help me, I'm not that noob in computing, but obviously not very good either. But first up, system.

Mobo : P8P67LE Asus
Proc : i5 2400
GPU : Asus ENGTX460 1GB
Ram : 2 x 2 GB Corsair DDR3 1333Mhz
PSU : Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 550w
HD : 1TB Green Western Digital

Samsung DVD-RW
Wired mouse
Wired keyboard
TP-link network card
Windows 7 32 bit

Okay first up, this is a custom computer, a friend of mine picked the parts out. I'm running 266.58 version of my gpu driver. Everything else (drivers) installed. Now, the problem is, whenever I play any game, sometimes I will get "Display driver has stopped working but has recovered" Something to do with nVidia kernel driver.

I've googled the shit outta google, but no help. I'm starting to think it's my PSU, do you think I've adequate power? I've used an online PSU calculator and it says I need no more then 400w. I'm running 550w, but at the back of my PSU box it says 70% efficiency. Does that mean I only get 70% of 550w?

Games that have this problem when I play. All.

Black Ops
Football Manager 2011
Starcraft 2

So, recap. Basically, whenever I run any games, sometimes my com will freeze up and ~5 mins later, the game will crash but everything else will be fine. Crash always comes with "display driver has stopped working but has recovered". That's not too say I can't play them....it's just maybe 40% of the time it will crash. Sometimes even light browsing online will cause the problem to flare up. Ideas?

Btw, very similiar problem with fellow forumer, his system and mine also almost the same.

It's like, you know he/she is the right one already, how long would you wait?

Assuming, they're overseas/got bf/gf already and you don't want to spannar/or whatever reasons la...

Oh, and you're not waiting to get into a relationship. It's waiting for a CHANCE to get into one with them..

How long will/could you wait?

The girl I love is leaving, help.

Hey people, I need some major advice here. Here's my story:

About two and a half years ago, I finished my high school and enrolled into a college. I had no previous relationship whatsoever, I never really mixed with girls; it's not that I don't like them or I'm a late bloomer, it's just I've always thought of myself as a happy go lucky person not wanting to be bogged down by relationships until I meet the perfect girl. I did have this one crush in my school, but like no one knew and I didn't pursue it or talk about it much.

So anyways, I took up a one and a half year pre-u course after leaving high school with a bunch of my friends. And on my 2nd or 3rd day, I met a girl also from the same course and a few same classes. By chance, I got to know her through a mutual friend. She wasn't the prettiest/hottest/sexiest girl in that college, but I knew she was the one for me there and then. Maybe it's because she's the first girl who really bonded, shared and talked to me, but I just can't get my mind off her thinking and knowing how perfect she is for me. About 2 months after knowing each other, she got taken by a guy. When I first heard the news, I felt so empty...but eventually I felt happy for her but also jealous.

So a few months passed, and I got closer to her. I would spend a lot of time with her, skipping classes as we took different subjects and only got to see each other in the common room. She was always friendly and cheerful to everyone but I knew I was getting some extra special treatment (in a nice way) I'm NOT making something out of nothing, I KNOW she treats me differently from other guys other then her boyfriend. Unfortunately, I think it's more of a best friend/sibling kind of treatment but I'm not sure. I do share a lot of interest with her so that makes it easy for us to converse.

As the months passed, we grew even closer and everytime she "breaks-up" of has a quarrel with her boy, she turns to me. We would then go watch movies, lunch or shopping together alone. Sometimes, she would talk about it, other times I press her for stories. It was then that I realized that what I feel for her isn't just another crush or infatuation, I sincerely cared for her, loved her and just....it's hard to describe, just want to be there for her, protect her and etc etc.

After our pre-u days, we went to the same uni but pursued different majors, but I still see her everyday. Then a few months ago, she really broke off with her boyfriend. Then she started turning to me more then usual, as I would chat with her for hours and exchange text messages. She started flirting a lot with me online and in our daily lives. She would often ask me to accompany her to her lectures or lunch breaks. I flirted back a bit but never made any real moves for fear of rejected ( I know, how dumb of me) I would get loads of mixed signals from her, and I know I'm not being "perasan" or hoping for something as my friends even commented on our blossoming relationship.

Now I'm not the best looking guy on the planet, I don't have killer looks but I'm not ugly either, I would say I actually quite good looking ( hehe=p). I'm not the richest either, just above average. Not the smartest, average and dropping due to skipping classes to see her. I'm out of shape though, not obese but large, maybe 15-20kgs overweight for my height, but I know I can shed the pounds of (in fact already started). But what she is, is that she is perfect in every sense for me. I know I'm not the only one for her, but she's the only one for me.

So forumers, am I just making something out of nothing to console myself? Does she like me or love me? Am I already a best friend for life and nothing more then that or can I actually take our friendship to the next level? How do I approach her to confess? I'm soooooo afraid of rejection, I want to take it to the next level but I'm scared it will ruin our friendship which took me years to build should anything go wrong. It's not a lie when I say not a day goes by without me thinking of her. So please, give me some advise - be frank, I'd rather be hurt by the truth then to be killed by a lie. Please. Help. Is this a risk worth taking?
