    Well I for one thinks it sounds like she likes you (I've used the head on the shoulder one a few times (that's actually how I "made my move" on my husband - married 13 years now ;))

    I've been out of the dating scene for a while but I reckon you should make her a nice mix tape.

    Nothing says i want to roide you more then standing in someones garden with a gherrro blaster belting out Wind of Change with a lighter over your head.

    Ah the teenage years! I remember being so distracted with the thought of making a fool of myself that I never made a move. Meanwhile there were people in the background who figured out the rules really quickly and just jumped straight in. They realised that you have to make a few blunders before things come right. I envy those who learned the 'rules' (as in there are none!) early because it took me a long time to cop on :pac:

    Go for it. Ask her out. You're not doing anything wrong by asking a girl out. If there's a knockback, take it on the chin and move on. If she says yes, you're sorted. Either way it's a win because you won't be second guessing any more.

    Good luck :)

    It's very possible she does like you...or she thinks of you as a really close friend. A couple of years ago before my best friend and I fell out (because I wouldn't date him) I used to act exactly like that. On nights out I would be tired and we'd be talking to a group of people and I'd put my head on his shoulder and he'd put his arm around me. We went everywhere together so if I ever entered a pub on my own everyone would say "where's the boyfriend?" and were genuinely shocked to find out he wasn't my boyfriend!

    If I were in your shoes I would ask her out to a movie. I usually don't recommend it for a first date but given that you already know each other quite well it should be okay :)

    Grow some balls and just kiss her. If she responds good, if not call her a mickey teaser and move on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername


    girls are confusing like this. any of the stuff you mentioned she does could be just that she's comfortable with you, or could mean something more.

    I say just go for it. either ask, say you like her, or try it on.

    If she doesn't threaten to prosecute you the morning after the Rohypnol.

    Is she from Tipperary, if so you're in!

    Mate she sounds like a complete slut, get out of there while u still can


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,977 ✭✭✭minikin

    Either she likes you or thinks you would make an acceptable mate for her gay uncle.

    start hanging around with other girls or talk about how nice such and such is.See if she reacts :)

    This does not work! Alot of girls are stubborn and will do the exact same, and you will have to try harder with them because they will give the whole "Oh I thought you didnt like me, u liked her?" crap!

    I don't want to be the douche who rains on your parade but from what I've read you are definitely in the friend zone. You have known her too long and have waited too long to form any kind of saucy relationship. You are now like a 'brother' to her. The fact that she introduced you to family and said that you were a good guy just cements that; a girl wouldn't do that with someone she had sexual desires for.

    It reminds me of the episode of Inbetweeners where Charlotte said to Will something along the lines of "I would really like a boyfriend like you" ... "hahahahahaha not you though Will someone like you!!"

    From your post I can guarantee, without doubt, that you are between 15 and 20 years old. I can also guarantee, without doubt, that you will ignore all advice in this thread and just go for it anyway. I am going to tell you that you have nothing to lose and the chances are you will fail; but if you succeed you will be a happy young man. You have a case of 'oneitis' where you only like one girl and she is all that is great in the world. You will look back one day at this forum post and laugh; but today is not that day.

    I would advise you to not go for it and find someone else, this will increase your chances of her actually fancying you as more than a friend - she may then make more obvious (actual) advances towards you and you won't really have to do anything other than go with it. You won't take this advice (young love, n'awwwwwwww) though so just go for it and if you get shot down say something along the lines of "that's ok, I thought we might have had something more I was just confused it's cool though I'm totally happy with just being friends anyway".

    If you do go ahead with it then do it on the beer like someone in here said; worst comes to worst you embarrass yourself and blame it on the drink like a true Irish man then laugh it off. Like I said my advise was to find someone else then being the way that she is (i.e. a female) she will get jealous and actually want you/want you more.

    OT but...This is the funniest thread I've read in quite a while...

    I've been crying with laughter over some of the posts.

    What have you got to lose?? Go for it. If you think she likes you, more than likely she does.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,707 ✭✭✭batistuta9


    you can tell sometimes by the way she looks at you - if her pupils are dilated when she sees you - the way you tell if some one is really smiling at you or if its a fake smile or else if she starts rubbing your cojones

    :pac::pac: I had to re-read that sentence about the approval! I thought OP got mixed up and her uncle approved. :pac:

    "Just to let you know Uncle Jim, <insertnamehere> is a good guy and I approve of him" - Girl

    "Good to know.....(SHE THINKS I'M GAY)" - Uncle

    Suggestion from one legendary for lack of prowess with ladies:

    Approach her as a friend, tell her you want her advice, that there's this girl you really like but you're not sure if she really likes you, but she's a really good friend and you don't want to mess that up. Tell her you'd love to give this girl just one small kiss, just a little one. See how she reacts - if she asks who it is, in the right way, its your chance to say "its you"... If she looks horrified, tell her she doesn't know them....

    <cue derision...>
