How was your attempt "botched"?

She's going out with someone else now. Doesn't matter who. You have no claim over her or him or anyone else. Next time, don't dawdle around. Time doesn't stand still just because you're too scared to approach someone. Everyone elses' lives keep moving along. You lost your chance with this girl. Learn from it and look for someone else. Geez, even your friends agree that theirs is a good relationship... you should listen to them.
