Mea Maxima culpa!

It's HARD! I just keep thinking I can *reach* her! (Or HIM!)

Of course, you know that isn't true. At least, not by pursuing and/or appearing desperate. You will not reach her, and the only way you can reach him is by becoming a person he is attracted to. He will find you more attractive when you are a complete person with a full life. I think you need to make some more close female friends right away and really focus on GAL. You won't really make any progress as long as you're focusing on them. You can't change them; you can only change yourself. So get to it!
