Well would it be the worst to like text her and say "hey i heard your dad had a stroke, is he ok?" or something like that?

wtf dude, whats with alot of people on here not knowing jack shit about girls / real life. What do YOU think you should do. Are you really that much of a robot that you gotta not only post for help FAST!!! but also gotta ask this forum before you do anything at all? You would rather take the words of people you don't know at all, over your own gut instincts?

Why don't you try thinking for yourself, instead of asking the most mundane questions ever, that anybody with an ounce of common sense can figure out. Seriously, it feels like you just came out isolation and have no idea how to react / respond to other people. sigh.

This gives you such an opening. You just ask she is and how her dad is. You then tell her some story about how one of your relatives got really sick but then everything turned out ok. You then try to comfort her as much as possible with out being creepy. Then you make your move once everything is somewhat back to normal with her.

Go with her to see her dad in the hospital. Make a good impression. Afterwards, ask her out on a date, comfort her, blah blah blah

Easy.

The next time you see her, pretend that you didn't know her dad had a stroke. Be like, "Oh I thought you meant it like he was really upset, like 'omg, my dad's going to have a stroke when he finds out about whatever,' but I guess he had a real one, which makes a lot more sense because you said he was in the hospital. So... that sucks... for you I mean... and your dad too..." Wait until the silence becomes unbearable. Then walk awkwardly away and never contact her again.

For one, seriously that is one of the worst times to possibly try to become emotionally involved with a person.

For two, why do you ask for relationship help on a STARCRAFT site of all places?

For three, 1000'th post :D

Because this is his blog and normal people visit this website whom can deliver fairly relevant feedback on any concerns or questions that you may have, because for the most part, Teamliquid is a civilized site.

i agree with this, actually. she's not going to be very cheery, so maybe it's best to wait

btw, what does /thread mean? or /anything, in fact

means End thread. Like "end of discussion"

This could be a stroke of luck for you, anyone with half a brain would see this as an opportunity. You should give ManI'S SCHEME A chance.

I dont know, making a move could backfire (it depends on your previous relationship with her) imagine if you were a confiding in someone and all of a sudden they try to make a move. you just lost a good friend. be careful, if it were me i would let one of her other friends console so you never establish a "best friend" relationship. My 2 cents, but then again i'm 17 so wtf do i know, go nuts.

It depends on whether you feel any empathy for the person in this situation, or are merely interested in self-aggrandisement. Your natural impulses should give you the proper answer. No need to ask tl.net.

Agree.

Simply be there for her...she must be worried for him and offer your assistance if she needs it.

I think this blog establishes that he is certainly not feeling any empathy.

No i actually like her dad, hes a nice guy, and I care about her and her feelings. I dont think she needs any consoling, at least it seems she is not to troubled. She said he is still having trouble talking but he can walk and stuff, so it sounds like it won't affect his life to much if he keeps recovering, and I think she has realized that. Or maybe she is trying to hide her feelings. Im going to a movie with her this week but i dont think ill make a move.

leave her the hell alone until things stabilize

'hey its important for you to be with your dad how about we take a rain check on the movie'

lemme put it this way: her dad just had a stroke, do you know how shitty it is to do ANYTHING that even hints at "what about MY needs"

the girl doesn't need the added complication of some retard with no common sense trying to woo her right now, so don't be that retard please

You make me sound like a dick fakesteve.

I didnt ask her on the movie, she informed me via text message that we were going. All ive done so far is ask how her dad is doing. I am certainly not trying to "woo" her, and im very self-councious about being a dick(reason i made thread, wanted to make sure i didnt do anything retarted)
