to ask or not to ask

hi. there is this girl that i will call J. I see her 4 out of 5 days in school but only for 1 period. I want to ask her out but dont know if she likes me back. When i see her in the halls we say hi and i go over to talk to her during class when i can. What my question is is how can i tell if she likes me too, without asking her. Thanks for any advice.

Re: to ask or not to ask

I would'nt ask her right away. You should try asking for her number or IM? Once you've talked some more over the phone or in person, you'll learn more about eachother.

Re: to ask or not to ask

Well. you could ask her out to lunch just on a platonic basis. But if you don't want to do that try making her laugh or try displaying some of your good qualities and see how she responds. I apologize if I'm not of much help. But I doubt this girl will turn you down if you ask her out. Don't fear rejection.

Re: to ask or not to ask

one good thing im good at is making people laugh. Just yesterday the first thing she said to me was, you make me laugh. I had on a funny looking pair of novelty glasses. I will probobly force myself to ask her out or at least see if she wants to hang out because i have waited before and not gotten the chance again. I dont want that to happen this time.

Re: to ask or not to ask

Good. If you happen to be turned down, which I doubt you will, keep in mind not to avoid her and keep the friendship.

I asked a girl out, and unfortunetly I was turned down, but are friendship keeps building(which I'm happy with)because I kept on acting the way I always was, and stayed friends.

So if you keep on talking to her as a friend and don't break communication, things are likely to get a lot better, and you never know what could happen.

Good Luck!

That is a great sign for breaking the ice. I would suggest to do thing that would meake her laugh so you both talk more and grow close. Eventually ask for her #, IM, or if she want to hang somtime.

If she continues to talk to you that is a good sign. I am sure you'll beable to tell if she had no interest. & if she didn't well there are plenty more fish to catch.

Re: to ask or not to ask

i was going to talk to her today during class but when we finished notes and could talk she left and went somewhere. I have a feeling that she likes me because whenever i see her best friend in the halls she looks towards me and says something to whoever shes walking with. Ill probobly ask her next week if she wants to hang out.

That's happened to me a lot. Don't be afraid to speak up--maybe before she leaves, just call her name, and she'll come talk to you. Or maybe even say quietly, so nobody can hear it but her, during class: "Hey ----, can I ask you something after class."

'Might be better to call her name though, because it's less obvious.

Keep us posted.

Re: to ask or not to ask

i would ask one of her friends whether she liked me or not but im not friends with anyone in her homeroom and dont know the people she hangs out with very well. The only way to find out now is to ask her. Either friday, when i see her next, or next week ill ask her if she wants to get pizza at the place next to the school. hopefully shell say yes and ill see what happens from there. ill tell you what happens once i ask.

I think it would be best if you talked to her yourself. But if you do happen to be talking to one of her friends, maybe hint it. Because the next time they'll be talking to her, they might mention you!

Re: to ask or not to ask

tommorow ill ask her. im pretty confident that i wont get turned down, but ill never know unless i try. ill see if she wants to go to the pizza place after school tommorow. If she cant with such short notice ill ask her about next week. They way i see it is nothing really bad can come out from asking, as long as i dont stop talking to her if she says no. Im only asking her as a friend right now so theres probobly a better chance than straight out asking her out. ill tell you what happens when i get home tommorow.

Re: to ask or not to ask

well everyone, i have some good news, some bad news, and a warning to all single guys. First the good news, i asked her if she wanted to go get pizza after school, and she said yes. She told me where her locker was and to meet her at the end of the day. Now is a good time for the warning. If you ask a girl somewhere, make sure its just the 2 of you if thats what you want. When i went to her locker after school i saw that she had just left, figuring that i wasnt coming. As i was going to the bus i saw her and 3 of her friends going towards the pizza place. I walked over there after them and found out that it is true that in a group of chicks there is one "prize" and the rest are there to prevent all guys from talking to her. At the pizza place it was very uncomfortable trying to have a conversation while her friends make it as difficult as possible for you to talk. I really felt like the odd man out seeing as i didnt know any of her friends. After pizza we went to the dollar store to get candy, where i recieved the same treatment. while i was buying my candy they left and didnt want to slow down, so i started heading home because i had a ways to walk. The road i was on was parallel to the road they were on and theres about 150 yards in between them. When i listened closely i thought i could hear them yelling to me but i didnt know what they said. Anyways, on that long walk home, literally, i did a lot of thinking. I definitly arnt going to give up and ill ask her somewhere next week, but i will make it known that i want it to be just the 2 of us, not the 2 of us and 3 of her friends. Even though this time didnt go smoothly at all, i was still happy that she agreed to go. sometime maybe ill post back after the next time we go somewhere. by the way, thanks for all the advice. without it i would probobly not have asked her.

Well after all this its still a good start. Put it this way she talked to you by agreeing to go & eventually she will see that you have an interest in her.

She may have gone with friends because she may have felt wierded out. I really wouldn't sweat friends being there the first time. I would ask her again and this time her friends shouldn't be there. Just ask her to go as a couple because you are interested in getting to know her.

There is a lot of reasons why friends may have went but I think she felt wierded out being alone with you the first time. Lets thing grow by talking to her more and asking her out again...It wont hurt

Oh, magicman, ha, ha, sorry, but I find that comical! What a clever girl! BUT don't make assumptions. She might have thought you just wanted to set up a get-together, and didn't see it as a date. This is a good thing anyway though, because she does see you as a close friend, and if that's all she sees you as, then you should accept that decision and be her friend.

Before asking her again, why don't you talk to her, and tell her that it was hard for you to talk to her, because of her friends. She's probably going to ask why you left, so it's important that you let her know that you felt ignored. I know you might be a little angry, but don't say anything rood. Be as nice and understanding as you can.
