Help the guy out. Try to face him as much as possible and "leaning forward for the kiss". Try to touch him to let him know you're comfortable with him. Try accidentally touching him if you're not that bold. Subtlely flirt with him without being obvious. Eye contact and a smile is important. I always look for these signals. It makes it very easy for me to decide when she's ready for a kiss. BTW, dont' worry about the braces. I'm sure he'll be careful.

Girls usually don't change their mind about a friend. If you're really good you might be able to pull it off. This isn't easy. You can try to be her friend but very slowly seduce her. It took me several months to have her associate romantic thoughts about me. She eventually started pursuing me when the time was right, and she "figured out" that I was the one. I let her chase me until one night she asked me to be her boyfriend. Warning: You will find the breakup to be quite painful because you'll lose both a romantic partner and your best friend at the same time. Feel free to PM me.

I never found a girl that will say "no" to a date. So the simple rule is that anything but a "yes" is a "no". It appears she finds hanging out with her friends more important than being with you. It's a clear signal that you should move on to the next girl and not ask her out on a date ever again.

Shy_Guy993, I'm going to side with Nifty_Swifty1 on this. More specifically, anything but a "Yes" means "No". If she is trully interested in you she will not refuse a chance to go out on. It's as simple as that. If you ask again later after she said "No" then you will appear needy and desperate. Upon a second request for a date, some girls will be very tempted to say "yes" since they know you'll be their "slave". And no, you can't raise her respect or interest for you by going on this type of date. She will just use you, and you'll just end up getting rejected and hurt. Just stay away from her. If she was just "playing games" with you and was interested then she would chase you down and try to get you to ask her out. Only if she pursues you after a rejection is it OK to ask her out again. I know that this isn't what you want to hear. It's the harsh reality of finding love.

There are Nice Guys (which most men are), and and there are Jerks; but no one ever mentions a rare third category of men. This guy is daring and confident like jerks tend to be, but doesn't abuse women. He is respectful and honest as a Nice Guy but not too sensitive, generous, or needy. For many, it is can be very difficult to become this kind of guy. It can take alot of learning, practice, and personal development.

My advice is to get to know as many guys as possible. Have fun while you're at it. Eventually, guys will start to approach you. Look as best as you can, but don't worry about it too much. You don't have to be thin or pretty to get a BF. You just need to have a charming personality.

Wp21, One of me ex-girlfriends behaved in a similar way when we were only friends months before we hooked up. I later learned that she was interested in me and was gauging me as a possible boyfriend at the time.

I'll cautiously say that she thinks of you as a possible romantic prospect and that she may be "testing" you. My advise is to go ahead and flirt with her. If she isn't as friendly that day, be the one to initiate a short conversation. Keep the conversation light and funny. Show her that you are somewhat interested in her. Be subtle but also be playful.

Gotta go with what JohnnyRingo said. Let her have a chance to do some chasing after you. Slowly pull back on number of times you IM her. She'll be forced to IM you back if she really likes you. If she doesn't then she was never really interested in you; then just leave her and move on. If she likes you she will try her best to try to reach you via IM. Just because you like a girl doesn't mean she likes you. You need to start testing her soon before you become too emotionally involved (addicted) to this girl. Trust me on this. This already tells me that you will end up being too "nice" to her. This will make her have to worry about hurting your feelings and will definitely turn her off. Never look needy to a girl. Whatever you you do, do not seek validation from a girl. Don't ask her what she thinks of you or what she thinks of how you're treating her.

She appears to display enough interest. Try to arrange to meet her again for lunch next time when you two are both on the tennis courts. If things go well ask for her number then call her up to ask her out on a short date. Good luck.

There is very little information to work with. Although I did pick up that she's very "nice" to you, bad sign. It's better that you ask her out sooner than later because your chances get slimmer as time goes on. Don't bother to pursue her further if she says no.

Sorry to tell you that it's very obvious that she isn't excited to go out with you, but only going to go out with you if she has nothing better to do. The first date no-show is a huge red flag. The second red flag was that she setup a confirmation call condition before the date, which shows a lack of respectful for you. Girls that are interested in you don't behave this way. Forget about her. She's proven that she isn't interested in you. Go on to the next girl. Feel free to PM me for more information.

I've heard of success stories and fun dates to come out of online sites. Many times it's the only way busy people can meet other singles. The problem is that online dating is alot more work than people think. You really need to send out emails to other people you're interested in to find someone you would like to date.

Herpes is extremely common. Estimates of 1/5 people in the United States have it, although I don't know where you're from. It is easily spread even if a condom is used. It can even be spread through kissing. I understand that if I sleep around enough I'll eventually catch the disease. It's just a part of life. I don't see the point of blaming your ex. Many people don't even know they have it. If I decided to have sex with someone, I run the risk of contracting an STD. I also run the risk of transmitting an STD to my partner. I get tested so I'm aware of my sexual health. Good luck.

If a girl isn't interested she isn't interested. I look for signs that she might like me like eye contact, enthusiasm, or even shyness before I ask a girl out. Now, 1/5 is a pretty good number. The outcome was not your fault. Probably this girl already knew you enough to decided that you were only going to be friends. The benefit is that you can take her off you "to ask" list forever and move one. Also, next time be more direct like: "_____, I want to take you to see this Saturday night. Can you make it?" It has worked for me. Ask girls that don't know you too well. Don't wait too long if you after meeting a new girl you are interested in, to flirt and ask out. Be confident about it. Good luck.

Yes, she does.

Yeah, now if I can only get rid of my feelings for her then I should be fine.

I'm sorry but definitely not. That "if" should tell you all you need to hear. Move on to the next girl.

Hehe, he would get into quite a bit of trouble if he started flirting/dating with you. This would be a serious conflict of interest on his part. You'll have to wait til after class has ended and final grades have been given.

It's very dangerous for you to hang around with a girl that you like very much, especially if she has rejected you before. You are very vulnerable if she decides to use you for something other than a romance or an honest friendship.

My ex asked me this question once. I think she wanted to hear that I wasn't looking at her as just another friend or sexual conquest. I told her why I was attracted to her. Though, I don't think there's a really good answer for that.

I agree.

I don't have enough info on what happened betwen you two. But, my gut tells me that you should stay away from her.

Update: Woohoo!!! I'm finally over my ex. I put all the pieces together and everything makes sense to me. Been doing alot of reading, researching, and thinking. I can now see where in the relationship things fell apart. I know exactly what mistakes I made, well most of them. I can now see that my ex trully did fall in love with me and how I killed the romance. There was nothing wrong with me all along. I just made a couple dumb mistakes that I won't do again. So I should be fine in my next relationship. As for my ex treating me like crap at the end of the relationship, well I know that that was the way she is, and it wasn't my fault. I also found out that she treated her previous exes the same way. My ex used me and lied to me at the end of the relationship. Hehe, she's not exactly a good liar either. She's the type that doesn't like to let her man know when the relationship is over from her side so that she can use him for money and other things. I talked with one of her exes. She tends to keep her exes as friends for later use, typical female player. I should have paid more attention to how she treated her previous exes. Being in love clouded my thoughts. I know now I should have ended the relationship when I felt something was seriously wrong. I got used and hurt because of that. My respect for me ex has gone down, and I feel sorry for the next gentleman who dates her. I guess I'm happy now that I figured everything all out. Now if I can just get used to being single again.
