You wrap your head when you get confused? In aluminum foil to keep the evil satellite waves out?

Heh, seriously, I can see what you're saying, but "I don't deserve her". God, shut up.


Edit: Just want to remind you, high school girls are weird. Sure, all signs point to yes, I asked for her number she gave it. I ask her to prom she accepts. But, she's a high school girl. All of these factors rolled together STILL does not mean she's interested, or so has been my experience. Point: She may not necessarily be interested, and if so, I can handle that. But I don't want to ruin our "prom experience" if she's not.

nah, i won't shut up. you hadn't known the girl for a while when you asked her to prom. i don't think when you asked her she thought that it would be just as friends. and no, not all high school girls are weird. some of them know exactly what they want. it's just that most guys wouldn't know a girl was interested in him if she had a neon sign above her head saying so.

That's true for me. Particularly the neon sign bit. If somebody has a sticker on his back that says "Kick me," do you really think he put it there?

Ugh, girls are weird. In a nutshell, as I said last night she called me and invited me over, I obliged, and we hung out awhile, nothing crazy. We watch a movie, and as I'm sitting on the couch, she sets a pillow kinda half-on, half off my leg, and lays down with her head on it. After a little while, I put my arm kind of around her shoulder, which she seems fine with.

No big deal, but sounds to me like she's interested, right? Well, according to one of her closest friends, not necessarily so, and I should continue to proceed with caution. I don't know how much her friend knows, but she strongly recommended against asking this girl out anytime soon, and I should at least wait until after prom. Grrrr.....part of me says her friend is just...i dunno, weird I guess, but the other part says that her friend knows her much better than I, and I should probably listen up. big sigh. Thanks for letting me vent.

Translation-She wants a date for the prom, doesn't want to go with a stranger, thus spending time with you, she's still making up her mind about you, or has someone else in mind...

One of those little known things-women don't fall in love instantly like guys, it takes them some time to get to know & trust you... (We'd fall in love @ first sight with a rock if it had breasts, women tend to be more logical, especially if they're not drunk)

Just play it cool & take her to the prom, see what develops. Call her @ least weekly & see how she's doing, etc, this is a no pressure friends kind of thing @ this point.

I am interested in your ideas and wish to subscribe to your news letter.

Yeah, I understand and respect that she wants to get to know me better first, but god, I kinda feel like that if sleeping on my lap and letting me put my arm around her isn't a sign, then i'm clueless as to what is!

Take her to prom and then ask her to hang out with you and your friends. Then if shes down to do that, ask her to hang out with you.

Like I said before...don't try to go too far before the prom. Talk to her, hang out with her, all that, but don't make any drastic moves, because if you do, and she doesn't want to, that will make the prom awkward. AFTER the prom is when you make the moves my man.

For some reason I assumed that...
For what it's worth (no one cares, but whatever, I'm excited), she called me tonight and invited me over. I did, we started watching a movie and...er....well, I guess I don't wonder where I stand anymore.;)
...meant more than what actually happened. I assumed you two kissed or something.

Yeah, dude, I've had girls that are simply friends sit on my lap for a few hours at (sober) parties and they had boyfriends (that weren't present and didn't go to my school) but it was no big deal. I watched a movie like that and she kept rubbing my head (the top of my body, not the other head) and running her hands through my hair. Dammit, maybe I should have taken that as a sign. No, just kidding. :p

But yeah, some girls are teases. The girl on my lap with the head rubbing...complete tease - I knew it though so I didn't care.

You should hang out with her more and get more comfortable with her. Then after prom see where you two stand. Her friend might be wrong, but she also might be right and you might lose a date to prom and the potential for a girlfriend.

Good luck.

geez why are people saying he should wait????

find out NOW whether she is interested and if not then ask someone else to go with you to the prom.
How much fun can you have at the prom with just a friend anyway. You're young so have some fun damit!! :p


BTW since when is laying an arm around someone when watching a movie a definite sign of affection???
You need something more definite, like a kiss. So when saying goodbye the next time instead of giving her a kiss on the cheek just go straight for the lippzzz

Right, but (a) This girl doesn't seem like a tease, (b) we don't know each other very well, this was the 1st time she and i had hung out just the two of us, and only like the 3rd or 4th time in a group. I dunno, I mean you're completely right, I jumped the gun, I'm just kinda trying to explain why i did.

find out NOW whether she is interested and if not then ask someone else to go with you to the prom.

Uh, yeah I'm gonna be that much of an asshole to ask her to prom, then "change my mind" and ask someone else because she just wanted to be friends.

Anyway, I'm not exactly sure why I keep checking/replying to this thread, things are just sort of...going at this point. She and I actually had a conversation (sort of, a brief one) about where we stand, so things are out in the open at least, as if they weren't before. My only fear now is I don't want to be lead on. I mean she's not leading me on really, but she knows I'm interested and I just above all else hope that she isn't just "waiting for me to give up." So many girls do this and it pisses me off. I dunno, my guess at this point (and from what she was saying) I think she's interested, but is still just trying to heal the wounds from past relationships and doesn't want to jump into anything too soon. We'll go to prom, have fun, and continue to hang out, and if it blossoms, great, if not, oh well.
