Alright, well, this is a very "unique" problem I'm having with a girl, and i'd like to tell you all about it, so help me PLEASE. If you want to read this whole thing, then it's appreciated. But a summary is available in the post below. _______________________________ Okay, to start off, I met this girl in the beginning of 4th grade. Our parents got us together to "play" one day, and we became great friends because of it. Over the months..I began to develop real feelings for her, and in the middle of 5th grade, I finally blurted to my friends how I felt about her. The information soon leaked from them and she got to hear about it. i then found out that she liked me like that as well. So, I asked her to the upcoming "social" that the school provided for us. She said yes, and I had butterflies in my stomach up until the day of the social. We got there, and she immediately started hanging out with her friends. I felt left out, so I hung out with mine. As you can tell, it didn't work out to well for us. We stayed friends, and the next year in 6th grade I had one of her friends ask her if she still liked me in that way. Her friend said that she said yes, and I debated on whether or not to ask her out again. I ended up not doing it, and didn't say anything about "going out" with her until, 8th grade when I asked her to the graduation dance. She said no, and when she did i asked one of her other friends to see if she still liked me as more than a friend. Her friend told me she had said yes again, and all I could help to think was, "WTF?". So I decided to find out for myself, this year, my freshman year of highschool. Last week i asked her if she had changed her mind about going out with me. Being the shy person she is, she hesitated on saying "umm, yes", and already being late to homeroom, asked if we could talk later. So we did, and here's our convo: Me: so, you changed your mind? you want to go out with me? Her: Well, I really really like you, but I'm worried what it will do to our friendship. Me: Yeah, i'm sure something could happen, but don't you want to at least give it a shot? Her: umm, let me decide, i'll tell you later ok? So, the next day i ask her if she decided, she said yes, and i said, "alright?" She says, "can we stay friends for now?" Me: "why?" Her:"well, when i'm not with you, I want to go out with you, but when i am, I just wanna be your friend" I failed for words there, said ok, and she got off the bus. Now I'm confused, is there anything I could/should do? I mean I'm literally IN LOVE with this girl, and I don't want to wait any longer. PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE.
