Does she like me? - Love Forum

trueps2gamer · #1 (**permalink**) 05-09-04, 03:14 AM

ok, this girl and i started talking a lot last year towards the end of the school year. Up until this point, i hadnt really talked to many girls b/c most people consider me a nerd/ "smart person" and dont really want to talk to me. i mean i have friends but most of them are kinda like me....in accelerated classes etc. anyway, people have been making fun of her and i because they think we should go out. I really like her. she's not like the other girls who try to impress guys by looks or w/e and she's in most of my classes (she's actually smarter than me in my opinion). i feel like we can get away w/ stuff w/ each other that we couldnt w/ other people. like i threw (not very hard) a volleyball and it hit her in the back in PE. She just turned around and stared and smiled at me (she smiled for what seemed like a long time too)....would everyone do this? if i threw it @ a few people, i know that they'd throw it back harder. In class, we're always throwing stuff @ each other...like she almost hit the principal last year w/ a pencil. anyway, im not sure if she likes me or not. Any Help???

Sounds like she might like you! I tell you if a guy I wasn't interested in threw a ball at me I'd be angry, I wouldn't smile! And if she's smart like you, then thats good because at least you're on the same intellectual level as her. My advice would be to ask her on a date? If she says no, you have lost nothing, if yes, then yay!!

well, i would ask her on a date but she can't go out until she turns 16

she turns 16 in april though. Maybe i should ask her to go to our school's homecoming or maybe the valentine's dance (since its going to be put together and sponsored by our grade), or maybe her and i and some other friends could go do something.

I did think it was kind of weird that she smiled about being hit with a ball too....i thought she'd be mad. It seems like i couldnt make her mad if i tried....like we give each other hard times about stuff and yet dont get mad at each other somehow. she did get embaraced when she almost hit the principal.....she actually threw the pencil at me and it went right into a group of people that contained our principal and a bunch of college kids.

She's a really cool person and maybe i'll ask her out (hopfully soon) All of the kids in my grade keep telling me to ask her out....Even some of the juniors say the same thing.

Opinions anyone?????

Oh yeah, she likes you boy. But take things one step at a time. Sometimes when you like someone, you read signs like 1000X what they are supposed to be. So don't expect too much, yet don't hold yourself back. Live your life without regrets, make your approach!

trueps2gamer · #6 (**permalink**) 05-09-04, 12:57 PM

Thanks for the help so far. I don't think i will expect too much....since i'm usually not very social.
I realized something else that she did....for some reason, she's told me some personal things....like what she's afraid of (as in not everyday "Scared of heights" types of things) We also have a habit of talking about England for some reason....Maybe because she lived there for 4 years....Yeah we seem to talk too much....
Oh yeah, by the way, i apologized for throwing the ball @ her (since i have a tendancy of feeling bad when i do stupid things)....she just laughed it off and said it's ok and said that it didn't hurt (while still smiling & laughing lol)...i think that a lot of other people would still be mad @ me now if i had thrown it at them. (even if i missed)

GBRaul · #7 (**permalink**) 05-09-04, 03:52 PM

Hmm... actually... I think that if my g/f (if I had one...

) threw a ball at me I'd be mad at her for a bit anyway, not smile back (what kind of reaction is that?!?). But people are different, and I don't think anyone who doesn't feel anything for you would even THINK of smiling at you after getting smacked on the back of the head with a ball.

Anyway, that thing about talking a lot and her sharing her problems with you may or may not be good. Either she feels comfortable around you as a lover or she just feels comfortable around you as a friend. So... yeah... be prepared for the worst, but I still think you should give it a shot since the odds are in your favour now! (Actually even if the odds are not in your favour, I still think you should give it a shot. Love is too strong an emotion to keep inside oneself in my opinion)

trueps2gamer · #8 (**permalink**) 05-09-04, 11:52 PM

Yeah its kinda weird....she might be talking to people and if they aren't listening to her, she'll direct it towards me (just talking like about England or something). Sometimes she'll just start talking to me anyway lol. One thing leads to the next and before we realize it, we've been talking for a long time....luckily, since our teachers actually like us, they don't really care what we do.

I think that one reason that she tends to talk to me over other people is because everyone else tends to be really mean to her. (she asks quite a few questions in class) They make fun of her and make jokes about her a LOT.

Maybe she just feels like she can talk to me which in that case, i'm glad that she doesn't hate me or anything like that....Actually i'm really happy that at least we're friends. Any joke i've made about her....she's always gotten me back for it.

One other weird thing that happened. (yes there are a lot of weird things that happen between us) Over the summer, one of my friends had a "party" for me my/their friends. I was told to invite someone....so i called and invited her....she actually couldn't make it for the original party date and said that she really wanted to go, so we rescheduled the party and she got to go

It was kind of nice that she went because it was a fun night.

Has anyone else ever been hit w/ a ball and not been mad about it?!?!?! You all seem like you'd all be mad @ me if i threw a ball (not very hard) at you.
For the record, that ball did not hit her in the head....it hit her in her back.

I would probaly shrug it off or laugh too, but thats just me.
I would say that it probaly is a good sign that she laughed tough, she sounds like a very nice girl.

So how old are you 2?

trueps2gamer · #10 (**permalink**) 06-09-04, 03:24 AM

I'm 15, (turning 16 in a month and a half) and i already passed my driver's test

so i'm just waiting for my birthday now to get my license....should take like 10 minutes @ the DMV lol. She's 15 too. She doesn't turn 16 until April

She is really nice, that's why i don't understand why people make fun of her so much

It's not because of her looks or anything; (in my opinion) she's really pretty. I think it's actually because she's smarter than them and yet still tries to learn more.

zas · #11 (**permalink**) 06-09-04, 04:02 AM

dont you have to be 17 to drive? well we do here

trueps2gamer · #12 (**permalink**) 06-09-04, 05:23 AM

Nope. Here you can get your license when you turn 16 and take driver's ed when you're like 15 & 1/2. I took my test with my driver's ed teacher so i don't have to take one at the DMV....It's a new option if you get and A on the written test and an A in the behind the wheel test. So, basically, i'm just waiting a month and a half....

The girl i like has to take driver's ed the same way i had to do....Before school

The class is from 6:20-7:20 AM every school day for 6 weeks. Yeah that sucks. To make things worse, she's joining the "cheerleaders" and they practice @ like 6:30 AM too (i don't know why she wants to join it, the cheerleaders @ my HS are all idiots who get thrown off the team because their grades go too low). Last year they had 2 cheerleaders who actually made it through the whole basketball season. But if that'd make her happy....i say go for it.

GBRaul · #13 (**permalink**) 06-09-04, 10:23 AM

I guess it's her passion (cheerleading). Let her go for it if she likes it! I don't believe in stopping anyone from his or her passion, unless it's illegal lol.

Actually if you hit me on the back with a ball during a physical education lesson, chances are I'd not even turn around to see who hit me with it unless it was really hard, in which case I think I'd find it hard to smile. (I didn't notice it wasn't very hard lol)

LucidDream · #14 (**permalink**) 06-09-04, 10:37 AM

Perhaps she thinks that cheerleading is her way to become more popular (Im in the UK, so everything I hear about American Cheerleading has come from the media, so Im not entierly sure about the culture surrounding it).
And since shes smart, perhaps she thinks she will be one of the sucessful few that dont get booted of the team due to low grades.

trueps2gamer · #15 (**permalink**) 06-09-04, 11:31 AM

She's told me that cheerleading is something she's doing b/c some other girls want her to (to have someone who won't get kicked off perhaps?!?!!) and not because it's something she'd look into on her own. I mean i talked to her about it and she enjoys it but it wasn't something that she really wanted to do until she was bugged about joining....but i think that she should go for it and fun with it if that's what she enjoys.

ALL CHEERLEADERS ARE BASED ON MY LOCAL HS and im sure that this doesn't apply to everyone.

As for cheerleading around here....most guys either love em or hate em. For the most part, around here they're thought of as being really loud and incredibly annoying. The guys that love em like em usually for their looks since most are obsessed w/ the way they look. Most of them are incredibly STUPID also....I mean one has to have at least a D- average to stay on the team and like all but 2 got kicked off last year.

GBRaul,
It wasn't during a lesson, it was when we were "practicing"

lol
I should've said that i "tossed" a ball @ her and it "tapped" her in the back lol
Just so you know, i wouldn't ever try to stop her from doing something that she loves...she doesn't deserve that.

LucidDream,

She lived in England for 4 years. I told her that i don't want to be popular and she said that she didn't either....so i don't think that she's using cheerleading as a way to become popular.

I don't mean to critisize anyone, i'm just trying to clarify stuff.
