Obi-Wan

There's this gal in my highschool who often stares and smiles at me. We used to share some classes in my sophmore year, but now I'm a senior and we only see each other in the hall. We never talked much. She's never made a move on me, and I wasn't intrested enough then to make a move on her. But now I think i am. But, I don't know what to do next, or how to start a conversation. (I'm really bad at speaking or flirting with women) The two of us are still basically strangers. plz help!

Did this guy specifically use the word: "girlfriend" when he told you he was seeing other girls? If he didn't, that might mean that he is testing you. He might not be seeing other girls. And even if he is, if he didn't use the word "girlfriend" he may only consider these girls to be friends. I will assume he does TRULY love you as a person. If he doesn't that means he is using you for selfish and disgusting reasons. But I'll ASSUME he truly does because if he doesn't I think you know what to do. But this can be either good or bad for you. Your best hope is that he doesn't truly have a girlfriend and that he might have made up the "dating girls" story just to see your response. Or, he truly does know other women, but he only considers them as friends. If you were sad, he'd know you weren't interested. If you were happy for him, he'd then know you only wanted to be in the friend zone. Sly guy huh? But it's all because he's afraid to be rejected. BUT BEWARE. There is risky potential. He might truly have a girlfriend (or more than one). In that case, I'd be a little shaky if I were you. Having more than one girlfriend at a time is just not right. It's time to call it quits.

Thanks for the advice coollady! Any other opinions? Anyone think I might actually have a chance? Come on! She said she liked me. Maybe the reason why she was so nice was because she was thinking about breaking up with her boyfriend and I might not be so hopeless afterall! Ehh....I tried....LOL

For my entire junior year I had a crush on this girl I saw everyday in one of my classes. I made some attempts to talk to her. Nothing specific or direct. I was afraid of blowing it. However, from her responses to my awkward behavior, I'm pretty sure she got the picture. She did invite me to join her in a group school project afterwards- which was quite out of the ordinary because the group was all full of girls and I'm not the kind of popular guy that girls would want to hang out with. In the group though, she kept fantasizing with her friends about her "amazing boyfriend". It was like she invited me to tell me indirectly she wasn't interested without directly letting me down. But I didn't want to believe it. I wanted to believe that she was just fantasizing about a boy she would LIKE TO meet. It took me until the end to realize the truth. (LOL- I'm pretty hopelessly optomistic as you can see.) The girl obviously tried to avoid me when I decided not to give up on her even though she had mentioned a boyfriend. During the last class day, I told her I liked her and asked her to spend time with me over the summer. She said she was busy. Then she started reading a poem. I asked her if I could read it, but she was obviously too tranced to let me see it. I had to ask her who wrote it for her to tell me her boyfriend wrote it, and yes, he was really her boyfriend. She offered me a handshake goodbye- which I assumed meant "tough luck loser" and wished me a happy summer. On the last day she did say she "liked me" back but I'm still not sure whether she was just saying this to spare my feelings. Plus, she has a boyfriend, so that means it's over anyway. What do you think? What are my chances? Thanks a million people!
