Welcome to Gaia! ::

Don't give up buddy! Just go in for the kill and keep fighting until she's all yours. Just make sure you're nice. lol. whee

Wow, everyone's given such thoughtful replies!!!

Here's what i think...it's possible she might already know you like her. Girls sometimes can see these things, especially if you have been really nice and helpful to her whenever she's been in distress, a lot of girls (sometimes mistakenly, I might add) will interpret this as having "feelings" for them.

I agree with everyone's advice above, but let me explain a bit more. I think you need to keep bring her friend, being nice, caring, etc... but remember that doing too much "caring" for someone who has feelings invested elsewhere can lead to resentment. Therefore, it's important for you to go out with your other friends, have lots of fun, and try not to obsess to much about her. Infatuation can be a powerful drug, but if you ever get rejected, it could mean you feel negatively towards her (I went through that recently myself =P).

On the other hand, it could be that she really does like you, but doesn't know what to do with those feelings. I remember when I was younger, I used to feel guilty about having feelings for more than one person at a time. But in that case I still recommend not telling her how you feel, because she's in the relationship, and because you have to protect *your* heart. More or less what other people said, but I hope it helps!! blaugh

Good luck! 3nodding

well, keep trying, but don't try to break them up, you'll in the end feel worse about yourself.Be there for her, be polite, maybe hint that you like her, like when she makes you laugh or smile, maybe a light touch on the arm, don't sit too close to her, he boyfriend will be angry,at both of you. help her out with little things, and be the sholder to cry on, find out things about her, know her better than she thinks you do, take hints from her words, things she wants and everything, her posture. How she acts towards you, work with what you have.

and if you do date, please, before you do it if you are good enough friends by this time to want to keep it that way, promise to her, that if you break up, you will still be her friend, even if she doesn't want you to be. believe me, it will make her trust you, or rely on you more. a lifeline, just be prepared for the responsibility it holds. I'm a lifeline for 6 people right now, it's a big challenge.

if she is the right girl for you she will come around. there is a guy at school i like and i have been waiting fo more than a year...just be hopeful, she will someday see that there is someone right in front of her that loves her for who she is.
