not all of them, just women like you...since when do "real men" have the definition of "making the first move"??? that was some sexist statement! what is soooooo different about guys that we HAVE to make the first move? you know this is 2005 its not old fashion anymore, girls can make the first move, there is no law that states "women cant make the first move" or "men have to make the first move", so quit bitching about how you expect guys to make the first move.

as for you doc pete, have you hung out with her outside of highschool?

im in highschool to and a junior so maybe ill be some help to ya...well the first thing is her friends would prolly like you atleast as a friend right? they would talk to you and stuff..perhaps even about her..so you could casually ask them something like "does she talk about me sometimes" and if they say something like "she talks about you all the time!" then your good to go, chances are she likes ya alot. her friends are one of the things you can figure this out by. especially if your introverted from the way it sounds..

but my gf doesnt share her feelings about guys with her friends so it might not be the best way...perhaps the best way is to not tell her your true feelings until your sure she likes you..and the absolute best way to find out is to just go directly to her and ask. if she does, then make the move!
and voila!

good luck dude.
