kenned is on a distinguished road
Guy in love...?
hey everyone, i am new here and thought i would post, and see if anyone could give me some advise:

maybe i should start with a little about myself:
I'm a dude from Denmark, I'm 18 years old, and maybe I'm in love

think i better start from the beginning:
I'm a swimming instructor, i teach swimming, and for the last year(season) i have had a helping trainer on my team. now, i have known this girl for quite some time, although never talked that much to her, ofcourse i would talk with her when i was at work, and we would have fun and so on, i could always make her laugh.
at the end of this season the work place held a "the season ends" party, and we where both there, we agreed to see who could drink most, just for fun ofcourse(i won ) but nothing happened between us.
the day after she wrote to me(she had had my number for along time for work reasons) and asked if i had hang overs, and i replied and so on and so on, and wrote quite a bit for some days, but not very much.
about a few weeks ago i went on vacation, and was bored as hell, but suddenly she wrote to me again, and this time we have been writing together for hours, every day. then last Saturday she held this party/drinking thing at her house, not really a party, for most of the time we where only 3 people=) but there was me, her and her friend.
so we drinked, and talked(a very interesting talk actually) for hours, and during that we both got a little drunk(nothing happened though, but enough so you could speak freely) and during the talk her friend suddenly says to us, as we where sitting next to each other: you know, you two are gonna end up together.
she said that twice during the evening, but both times we just both acted like we didn't hear it and didn't reply.
also during that night i mentioned that i had seen the trailer for the new movie transformers, and would really like to see it, her friend didn't know what it was, but she knew and wanted to see it too, so i asked her if we should go and watch it together, and she emidietly agreed, her friend replying that it sounds like a date, and again we just acted like we didn't hear it.
at the beginning of the evening her friend asked who i was and she said that i was just a friend, which ofcourse i am, but her friend just asked her how long we would be just friends, and such, but she just brushed it away.
during the evening i also said that i really wanted to get into shape(have gotten kind of "chubby" but not fat) and that i would start swimming when it opened 3 days later. she wanted to get into shape too, and i asked her if we should swim together, always easier if you have someone to swim with, and she said yes.
the next day i couldn't stop thinking about her, about what her friend had said, the fact that she emidietly wanted to do stuff with me, her smile, and so on and so on.
we have been writing alot since, and we went swimming Tuesday, and i think it went well, we laughed and had fun. we had planned to also swim Wednesday but she canceled because her brother came home(don't know how i shall understand that, if she just never sees her brother and are very happy she is home, or if she has realized that i might like her, and she doesn't like me so she is kinda hitting the breaks on things?), so i went alone.
well the tickets have been reserved for the movie, and we are going Monday.

before the work party and before we really started writing together, we would still hug and so on when saying farewell, when leaving from some place, like friends do. but now there is nothing, no contact at all, and i dont know how i shall understand that. maybe its because she is nervous too like me, and thats why it we dont do that anymore, or maybe its something else?

and now to summaries it all up with my question: i really like her, but i have no clue if she likes me too. i feel like the above could be signals that she might be interested in me, but maybe its just wishful thinking. and i don't have very much experience with girls, so i don't really know. maybe someone out there with greater wisdom than me can point something out, or give some advice?
she is 16 by the way. I'm thinking about telling her after the movie on the way home, that i am interested in her as more than a friend, but i have no idea what my chances are, and how i will ever be able to tell her that.

any help would be much appreciated =)

hmm as i read it over i think i might have jumped a little around in time, but hopefully its not too bad.

oh and by the way, i don't really know what subject this would go under, so i just posted here in the flirting forum

see how the night at the moives goes. if your gona be trying to grope her all night long i don't think its a good idea.

i don't understand why people take people to the movies as a first date coz you just have to sit and watch the movie. there's no way of communicating with the person to see how they are if you know what i mean. but anyway yeh take her, have fun, then tell her you maybe like her more than a friend and see what she says.

From the way you've used your proper nouns, I assume that you are the boy, here.

You might want to act like it. The movie is a date. Kiss her at the end of the night, or go home and play with your Lego because you're too immature to be dating. She wants you to make the move. She's done enough to show she's interested, she's made herself available. From her point of view, she's standing there with a neon sign that says "I like you!".

Do not ignore the neon sign. Your window of opportunity is closing.

a movie is a good choice because people on their first date often **** up by getting too personal or being too shy. a movie is safe because you have a perfect amount of time to talk in the car on the way there, while you buy the tickets, while you browse the concessions, and then on the way home. communicating with the body, such as trying to initiate a hand hold (nothing past the hand hold, really) can be really good for a first date, to see how comfortable you are. it gives you a perfect window to talk NOT too much, but just enough, and it also makes things less awkward because you dont feel like you need to keep a conversation from being killed-shrug-

I've never met her, kenned, but I'm not sure you were wrong. She might have her own crazy reasons for turning you down- anything from some nutsy rule about always turning every boy down the first time to the possibility that she just changed her mind, but the point is, I don't think you should start to distrust your instincts.

Look back over your own evidence. That girl liked you. I don't know what went wrong, but it started off going right.

I know it must seem awful that she rejected you. No one enjoys being hurt that way.

However, I think it is best to find this out earlier rather than later. It would be worse to find out she wasn't interested after having invested *years* of your time pining away after her, like some guys do.

You are still young, and you will recover. Try to keep your chin up, and keep yourself busy. This girl just wasn't meant for you. The one who WAS meant for you is out there waiting...

I've felt that way before...after a rejection but you'll get over it and realize it's not true. I'm pretty sure I've known once when someone liked me. I didn't act on it and it passed..for all I know, I could be dead wrong. I really stink with body language. The point is there is always someone that likes you the trick is to find them. Even if a girl won't go out with you it doesn't reflect anything about you. No-one is better than anyone else. Maybe she wasn't interested in you because you lacked something so simple that she finds crucial in a relationship like a boy with dimples. Some people are just picky.

i really like to believe that, and i keep hoping she will send me an sms saying she was just surprised, and didnt know what to say, but she likes me too.

if it makes any difference i can tell the exact words: i said, i have been thinking, what if i told you that i like you as more than a friend(just seems easier to kind of twist the words a little bit), and she replied that she thinks we are just friends, its easier.

we really have fun when we are together, and maybe she just is that way around friends, and its not signals she is sending, or doesnt know she sends them on purpose.

and btw, i have read alot of stuff on body language and so on, and doesnt really detect any of it from her, or maybe i just dont see it.
but what i dont get is the sudden interest from her, we have never been close friends or anything, just work buddy's, until those few weeks ago where we have been writing every day since.

in conclusion, i hope she will find that she likes me too, but i dare not to hope for anything.

It sounds like the two of you don't really communicate directly, you just hint and assume a lot. Is that a Danish thing, or what?
