The high school girl that ive known for years (6-9 years +) whom I have been sort of an acquaintance/ not close friend, but never heaps close with. Shes been single for about 6 months or so, after she was in a LTR. I have no idea how she sees me. I know she likes me, but I dont know if she is attracted to me in that way. We've never been close in a friendsy way, but we've always been friends with friends.
She has sent me some mixed signals in the past. She complimented me on the way I played soccer once, she said I played smarter basically than the rest of the team (**** team hah). She drove me and one of her friends home when I was drunk once.
Once when we were out, and I was drinking, I was making strong eye contact with her and asking about who she was seeing. I made her blush.
Whenever she hugs me, sometimes it feels like theres more to it. Feels like its more than just a greeting/goodbye.
Lately, ive been showing more interest in her. Sometimes I act with some very teasing/smart arse humour when I joke around and tease her. And she will tell me to '**** off' with a smile. But she definitely has a very classy feel to her.
Last new years eve, we were at a music festival together and happened to be catching the same plane back. We sat at the airport and waited together. It was weird. We had a super comfortable vibe and we were joking about ppl walking past etc. Felt like we were a couple for a moment. She shared her food with me. She went and bought some and offered to buy me something at the cafe etc. We got on the plane, flew back, we both slept, different seats. She got her dad to give me a lift home from the airport with them. Because I never told my family when I was coming back _ i was going to get a taxi.
I didnt talk to her for a few weeks after that, except occasionally on fb. She invited me out to a birthday dinner, but I couldnt come because I was working and I told her that. But she invited me on facebook, and text messaged me to make sure I would come... I still never asked her out properly. I saw her last saturday. Ignored her 80% of the night. We hug goodbye, and shes likes
" Good to see you out and about" sarcastically, and playfully touches my chest at the same time. When everyone was going home.
Over the last week, every night I think about her, hating on myself that there might be something there and I am letting it slip away.
Anyway, today, for no reason other than I cant take it anymore. I msg her in the middle of the day:
"Hey ---, what time you finish work? We should do something like have a drink or see a movie. Lmk if you can and ill call you"
her(30min later): "Hey hun, I can fiinish at 5 but tonight is no good for me because I have netball and then dinner for my grandmas birthday
rain check! "
"No worries, ----. Hope you win. Im playing soccer again this season. So you will have to come and watch me lol. Btw im going to Perth tomorrow for something, but rain cheque sounds great"
Her (quick reply): "Perth?? ...blahblah im already registered as an official --- supporter"
me: "... Wow im impressed, you can lead the cheer"
the end.
So to summarise:
- I still dont know whats going on inside her head regarding me, at all. Shes hard to read.
- I probably have left my opportunity to the last moment if I had one
- She may be blowing me off, but I doubt it. I gave her short notice (1/2 a day) and she explained why she couldnt see me. So I think she actually does want a rain cheque.
What should I do with her on the first 'date', not even sure if she would see it like that. Im phrasing it casually when I talk to her, but shes not stupid, and its very out of the ordinary for me to do this for her. So I think she knows whats up. But how do I take it to the next level? Take her to a movie? Shoot some pool and drink beer ? Walk in the park?
I once offered to teach her some poker...and she seemed interested. So maybe I could walk her into the park and sit down and play poker with her or something. I want somewhere we can talk, by ourselves, thats kinda nice.
Dont know what im doing. I dont thinks she has that much experience with guys, just 1 LTR + w/e
