Dear Thelma: Tired of being Mr Nice Guy and not getting the girl

Dear Thelma,

I've been a fan of your work for years now, and I've always been intrigued by the stories as well as the solutions and suggestions that you provide.

Anyway, I've got a story that's been bugging me for a while.I've known this girl (let's call her A) for about eight years now. We went to the same university. In my eyes, A is extremely pretty.
