This is a long one. If you don’t wanna read it that’s cool but to those who do: thanks. I’m 14 and a freshman in high school and have had a crush on this one girl since the 7th grade. My buddy ****** me over that year though and asked her out for me before I hadn’t really talked to her before. She turned me down (obviously) and I was pissed off and pretty much gave up on her. All through 7th grade I only had a few not very close friends and was a pretty big loner, a lot of people thought I was emo cause I had long hair and sat alone all the time. But last year I found my niche and have stuck with them since. One of the kids in my group has also been crushing on this girl for a while so I gave up on her for most of the year. Since becoming more socially active I’ve cut my hair and changed a lot and last year a couple of my friends told me that this same girl found me attractive and talked about me to them sometimes. So the new school year just started and we’ve been talking a little and we have a few things in common. (mostly weed smoking and things that go along with that.) we have gym class together and she partners up with me sometimes and says hi a lot. My friends say she still says she likes me but I’ve been trying to text her and maybe hang out sometime but lately she’s been turning me down and giving me one word responses. I really like this girl and want to get to know her even as just friends if not more but despite how she talks about me shes been unenthusiastic and not wanting to hang out this whole weekend. I’m really confused. If anyone has any idea way might be going on in her head and could let me know that would be great. Should I keep trying or do you think that she just doesn’t like my personality and I need to move on? Thanks for reading and any responses would be helpful.
