You are technically not legally allowed to be on chess.com as you are under 13.

you are but you have to have a parent knowing about it I think

True, you can be if you have consent. I forgot about that.  I highly doubt a lot of parents would like what their kids are doing on the forums though...

Chess.com could potentially get in legal trouble though

How tho it's a chess website I'm under 13 and like I've turned out fine... 

Ya'll still can't figure out my age!!! Hint I'm --!!!

12?14?

With a guardians xoncent you can, I'm u-13 but legally I'm over 18 and am my personal guardian. 

Just kidding, but im still not legally 13, only on Dec 4th, and I did not destroy the forums grin.png

I think you should play Ne7 check and just see what she plays. Good luck.

@Mako_Cat - since you asked "And if so what do I text her", I'll offer this suggestion . . .

Text her something like, "hi [her name], hope you're well and liking your new job. Text sometime if you'd like to chat or re-connect.  All the best!

If she replies, great, take it from there.  If she doesn't reply, never text again and move on with your whole life ahead of you!

  • She left without saying goodbye. Maybe this is a sign that she doesn’t care about me.

I know how that feels. Sorta. On the day my crush left, he just texted me “goodbye.” And that’s it. I regret not accepting his FaceTime request....

I am quite independent and planning to leave my parents shortly after I can. Nothing against them, I just want to be independent. I am worried about them though. That’s what I’m saying. If we do fall in love, and an outside force (my parents) stop us from being together. Thus me hurting her which is the last thing I want. But I think I will text her. I think it’s the right thing to do. I just need to get enough courage to do it tomorrow 😁

 

She left your job with a two weeks notice and not once told you before she left.  Your relationship dwindled before this and you are going to text her?  Why?  She obviously dgaf and even though you do, don't text her.  Let her be.  You'll run into her sometime face to face and that's when you can say something.  DON'T TEXT.   cheers.

A text is harmless.

Don't text "OMG I love you and want to marry you"

Do text something like what the other guy said. "I wish we could have talked before you left, I was hoping we'd stay friends / hang out" and then after you reestablish contact in non creepy way, you can try to make the relationship more serious.

But also as that guy said, pay attention to her reply and take a hint... if she's not interested then she's not interested.

 

NOPE.   don't even text.  her replies have been spoken by her actions already.    and texts are not harmless.  

MEXIMARTINI

and she is obviously not interested or hey...let's say she's playing hard to get??  Fine.  You can play that game by NOT texting.  lol.

Texts, plural, can be somewhere from annoying to criminal harassment... but a single text is nothing.

 

it's never a single text.  Not the way this guy is talking.

In response to the OP, let it go.  Nobody at that age really knows what they want.  Are there cases where teenage loves lasts a lifetime? Sure.  But for every successful teenage relationship becoming long term/permanent, there are thousands that fail.

 

I dated a girl for 2 years in high-school.  That went nowhere.  Knew many females in college, but never actually dated anybody during college.  At 23, the final 5 months before turning 24, I dated a 30 year old.  That went flat.  Then did not date anyone from mid-1999 until my 10-year reunion in 2003.  In December 2003, I joined match.com, and in March 2004, I joined e-harmony.

 

I went on a number of dates from January to April 2004, most cases just 1, one girl 3.

 

Two days after my 29th birthday in May 2004, I went on a date.  She was not that super model type, but I could just tell with her personality, attitude and many other factors like morals and what not that this could actually be the one.  It is too hard to explain other than the fact that you "just know" when it happens.  We continue to date, and by September 2005 we are engaged (those that engage and marry 2 months after meeting for the first time do not work out) and November 2006, we tie the knot.

 

Two weeks ago today?  Our 14th wedding anniversary!

 

So trust me.  Speaking as someone who is 45 and not getting any younger, if there are major question marks, turn around and don't look back.  All you will do is torture yourself.  You will know when the right one is there.  And also trust me on this - I remember what 17 as a male was like - fantasies that cannot be spoken on a site like this, but when you get older and more mature, you will realize what is important in a woman, and it is not all about looks and cup sizes.  It is about finding that one that not only you love, but also loves you back.  Clearly not the case with this one.  Turn around, don't look back, and move on!  She is out there somewhere, but this one you talk about is not her!

I don't know how helpful it is for a 17 year old to hear it, but yeah, I was thinking the same thing... too bad people only realize it's true in hindsight, because at 17 it feels like love but it's just hormones

lol isn't this the same as saying don't text back??  ya'll crack me up

No, because some things you have to learn by doing.

well then don't agree with someone who is saying to let it go...this isn't rocket science.
