We're ignoring each other

[FunGuy]

There's this girl I really like who I see about twice a week. I kinda knew she liked me too a little at least, cause she stared at me, then quickly looked away and all that kinda stuff. Then her sister told my sister that she likes me and stuff cause she always talks about me and says stuff like "---- did that, then he did that!" Etc. And I believe she also realized I liked her cause I told people and stuff. So one day I asked for her screen name, and she gave it to me. We IM'ed each other like every day and talked forever online. But then, when we met outside the chat room, we'd totally ignore each other. I dunno why, but now she's stopped being online and talking to me. It could be because I ignore her every time we see each other, or because I had told my friends, who also knew her, that I'm starting to lose interest (and that was just for a while). So, I know she at least used to like me and stuff, but now it's like we've never even started "anything". And this was really sudden. Because she's pretty shy herself, she never really talks to me when we meet, so should I just start talking to her even though it'd really awkward and weird?

 

Also, why has she stopped IM'ing me? It could be because she's too busy, or she knows she's gotta "act cool" and not seem to obsessed. (I know girls

give that sort of advice to each other).

 

Thank you!

It's because both of you are currently entrenched in the game playing that comes with the territory of being a high schooler.

 

What does she mean? What is she doing? Who knows. She could have lost interest entirely, or she could be playing hard to get.

 

But I will tell you this. Ignoring a girl you like, and then telling everyone you have lost interest in her is NOT the way to romance a girl. Perhaps now you are seeing how counter-productive this behavior can be...

 

Next time you see her, ask her how come she hasn't been online. And if she talks to you, then please continue on communicating with her!

...and that's why you keep the conversation for the date. If you spend all your time talking on the phone or online, you will not only run out of stuff to talk about, but you'll become comfortable in using those mediums to converse. When you're in each others' company, you have no clue how to interact because you're used to being on the phone or online.

Thanks guys! I'll try to accomplish something now.
