I don't really think she wants to go out with you... like lilwing said, the reasons she gives for not dating are really shallow and seem like pretty flimsy attempts at giving excuses for not going out with you.
I agree with both of the previous posters... I'd forget about dating her.
Heh! Don't worry, I'm no die hard ladder-ist
I read the whole thing online some time ago, and well, you DO have to agree that it does hit a few nails on the head... women and men see "friends" in completely different lights... and it is MUCH more difficult for a women to move a guy from friend to romance than vice versa... I'm just saying that perhaps she is dare I say "using" you to make herself feel good and perhaps even powerful? Does she get a lot of attention from other guys? Sounds to me like she is kindof making you her guinea pig, seeing what works on guys and what doesnt'... either way, yeah if braces stops her from wanting to see you, then she CANNOT be that wonderful a person... sorry bud, think about that one... just stick up for yourself and dont let her trample all over you.
