don't let it take you down!!!1 I believe you have many chances with her, you just gotta find the right time. I think you should not force yourself to take her hand, and not even worry about ever again until it naturally comes between the *both* of you. I think you should just lay back a little and hang out with her more. Find a comfort between you two and develop a healthy relationship with each other, then take the next steps. Do you think you could ask her what she thinks about you?
