She is Ill...

[Sky_Ronin]

The girl that I'm interested is really sick today. I mean she took the day off yesterday to rest up and get better, but the illness is still present. She's been coughing and having difficulty speaking. Poor girl. I feel sorry for her.

 

So, I wanted to ask if it's a good idea to make her a get well card and give it to her before school is over. Would I appear too kind and sweet? I don't want to end up as the nice guy that finishes last or get stuck in the friend zone. Option "B" is to just approach and tell her that I want her get well soon. I've only known her since early January 2007. We only see eachother at school and have engaged in some conversations in the past.

 

I've received three signals from her today: a smile, and two glances. Usually I would use my keen peripheral vision to catch it. So, I don't think she knows that I know about the glances. What does it mean? could it be that she is interested? Any help would be much appreciated. It would be great if I can get a reply before school ends.

You know, just going up, putting an arm around her shoulders or a hand on her arm in a gentle but direct fashion and asking her how she's feeling is a good way to do it.

I know I'm a day late here...If she's still sick and you haven't done anything, the best way is to approach her directly and ask her how she's feeling...then say that you hate to see her like that. A get well card is a cute idea, but it's a little odd to give one to someone whom you've only known for a month -- it might make you look a little pushy.

 

You could also give her suggestions on how to deal with being sick -- tell her that warm tomato soup always makes you feel better, or whatever the case may be...That way you'll not only be showing concern for her, but revealing something about yourself as well. Always a good thing.

Thanks Locke2121 and laboheme for your advice. I'll definitely take it into consideration. In the beginning I wasn't interested in her at all. After our first conversation my fondness of her grew from there. Now even if I try, I can't seem to stop thinking about her. It's so hard to read this girl. Could it be that I have an insufficient amount of dating experience? That's why I'm struggling to read her right?

 

I'm certain that she and I locked eyes on Tuesday (2/6/07 on more than one occasion. She approached me to tell me something and gave a lovely smile. The smile lasted for a good 5-6 seconds. It was as if she was waiting for me to say something. Now that I think about it, I regret not prolonging the conversation. HOW DO YOU IF A GIRL LIKES YOU? I mean girls are so hard to read. If only they came with a manual then life would be much easier, hehe.

Just keep going the way you are, show plenty of interest in her, and throw a few smiles and shy glances her way too. And don't be afraid to speak up! If I had someone drill that into me 20 years ago, I think I would have had a very different life.

I meant to write, "HOW DO YOU KNOW IF A GIRL LIKES YOU?"

Thanks Locke2121 and laboheme once again for your advice.
