I have a crush on this girl but I don't know if she feels the same towards me.

Here's what's been happening so far:- (I'm 16 never had a girlfriend before)

There's this girl that I have a crush on we've been friends for about 7 months, we're both 16, I'm really shy and I think she is to, we're both socially awkward and Gamer | Geeks.

(She broke up with her boyfriend about 3 months ago)

 

First off, we talk loads, and I mean loads (we talk about games, TV, and music, stuff like that), when we talk we smile at each other and throughout the conversation we look into each others eyes, we don't look away, when I finish talking she'll ask me a question or tell me something interesting, when we first started talking she was always looking down, talking really quick and stuttering on some words, now it's not so much.

We both like almost all the same stuff, music, games etc. (This isn't even half of what we share in common).

I've made her laugh once or twice, and she's only laughed at me when I've made a complete and utter fool of myself. When I stumbled, she was the only one to laugh, she was giggling to herself. Even when I made a barely funny joke, she was the only one to giggle.

Also when I make a really bad joke, she'll sort of stick up for me, like defend me.

If I need anything, like a pen or a pencil or some help, she'll always help with anything I need.

Sometimes she'll ask for help off of me and it'll be something really simple.

If I talk to other people, she'll butt into the conversation, I don't mind her doing this.

When I asked for her number, she was pretty quick to give it to me, and said it so fast I had to half guess some numbers.

When I was talking to the girl we had, what I thought was, an awkward silence because I couldn't think of anything else to say to her. It lasted about 25-30 seconds, when she finally said something the conversation carried on.

The other day, after school mine and her friend shouts "Her name have a nice walk home with my name"

She replied with "Why wouldn't I?!"

Her tone was defensive, as if she was sticking up for me, but it was happy sounding, higher than her usual voice, she's done this a few times now.

She's also told me personal stuff about her, like what music and stuff she listens to, books she reads, what uni she wants to go to, that her parents are thinking of moving away when she finishes college things like that.

When we we talk I think her eyes dilate, but that could just be the lighting.

She was touching my leg with her foot as well, I think she knew she was, because she didn't stop, I'm probably just imagining this.

I've seen her, out the corner of my eyes, looking at me and if she sees I'm putting my glasses on, she'll put hers on to. Also when she was talking with this other person (boy), she leaned to the side of him and was looking directly at me as if she was talking to me.

She has been telling me more stuff about herself, like what she did the past couple of days and what she plans on doing and shows me pictures and stuff on her phone.

Also she sometimes asks for my help with really simple things.

She keeps saying that I should get twitter and Facebook. And on one occasion said "You should get twitter so I can stalk you." (I did get twitter and we talk on that to).

 

I'm not sure what to make of this message.

So I sent this message the other day.

"Message to all friends.

Due to some issues. I will no longer be on online...at least not for a while.

Goodbye."

She replies with ""How come you're not going to be online? "

I say " (Sigh) I've just got some problems I need to deal with. "

She says " Oh, then I hope you get everything sorted out. :/ "

 

So the other day we were texting each other (we haven't texted like this before) and this is what we said

She asked me "Why were you out of college?"

I said "I wasn't feeling well and was told to get some air, so I decided to go and buy some stuff."

She said "Ah. I went to see my mum, she went back into hospital. Hope you feel better.

I said "Thanks. I hope that sore throat of yours gets better and so does your mum.

She said "Thanks. I get yummy medicine for it though. :D"

I said "Strawberry flavour?"

She said "Yeah :D"

I replied "Mmmm. I'm hungry now."

She didn't reply.

You are spending WAYYYYY too much time analyzing what she's doing looking for "clues", when this could be resolved with a simple conversation.

 

I realize you are 16, and probably terrified of just asking her out or telling her you like her, but that's the only way you are going to find out how she feels.

 

You gotta get up the courage and say something to her. Yes, you risk rejection, but if she says "I only like you as a friend." you know it's time to move on to someone else as a potential love interest.

Go ahead and ask this girl out to do something. No need to talk about feelings when you do, or heavy things at all, just have fun and laugh while doing something active. Not dinner, not movies, something that allows you both to engage with the environment and each other. Gauge how close she keeps to you and if she touches you. When you get a chance, and not at the end of the date but sometime before, face her and kiss her. Don't get real discouraged if she turns her cheek or gets nervous, she's young. No BF/GF talk though, just have fun, be light and funny and kiss her. If you have brass balls you can say, after losing a game or a self-deprecating bit of humor, "I need a kiss right now!" Make a joke of it and have fun, not an ordeal. Good luck.
