Why did my crush act like this?

[axalon]

Yesterday evening I was over at my crushes house to hang out with her brother. I finally got the nerve to make a move by giving her a what I like to call a "promise to date" ring. You see, she isn't allowed to date until she turns 16, but I am willing to wait for her (the age gap isn't too severe).

 

Anyway, the way I was going to go about giving it to her was to first have her look up what they are by using Google. This is where the trouble began. First of all, she asked me to type it in. I asked her why, she didn't say much. Then I asked her if she could spell it, she said no (I didn't think that much of it until later on when I saw a piece of paper, in her handwriting, that mentioned the word promise). When I typed it in for her and got to the site I was thinking of, an ad popped up. She clicked it off and we finally got to the site. She saw a few seconds of it, then another ad came up. That's when she said "what is this?". I said "just an ad" and clicked it off. Once everything was settled down she began to look at the site itself, but soon stopped and said "I'm not reading this." I asked her why not and she sort of gave me an I don't know. Then she said "I'm going upstairs". By the way, when she said these things it was in a very quiet and shy manner.

 

Some of the signs of liking me that she showed in the past (and convinced me to do what I did) include: looking at me when I'm not looking at her (sometimes while giggling), mimicking me, asking people she knows questions about me, showing concern for me if she thinks I’m in trouble, her friends act differently around me, sometimes she blushes around me, etc.

 

What does all of this mean and where should I go from here?

It means she's a shy and uncomfortable 15 year old who is not anywhere near ready to date you or anyone else.

If she couldn't spell "promise" (or "promise to date ring"), how was she supposed to READ the site?

 

I don't read or write Finnish, for example, but I would be able to write down a Finnish word after I saw it and if I decided to remember the order of the letters -- perhaps that's how she was able to write down the word "promise" on that piece of paper you saw?

I thought that maybe she was just nervous and forgot the most basic of words.

 

I know I messed up, so what should I do about it?

You should leave her alone. Find someone your own age to date.
