hi, i am a sophomore boy and i have a crush on a freshman girl in my basketball class. i have had a lot of aim convos with her, many in person convos, and ive called her twice. i hear she has a bf and apparently, theyre in love. i dont want to be a third wheel or anything, and im sure shes not slutty or anything. what should i do? ive tried keeping low and playing hard to get, but it doesnt seem to have any positive effect, so im talking to her online and a little bit in person. should i ask her out (not ask her out to be my gf, but ask her to hang out) or what?

allchical2193 answered Thursday April 21 2005, 8:51 pm: well im a girl and if a guy likes me i usually like to know whether or not i like him. i think you should ask a few of your friends to go to the movies with you. including girls. then be like hey im going to the movies this weekend with some friends wanna come. then if she says yes then when you guys all get in the theatre offer to go and get the popcorn then ask if she wants to help. then once you guys get in the theatre there will probably only be seats left where you can sit next to eachother.DONT TELL HER THAT YOU LIKE HER YET. let her get to know you in a different way than hes on my team. start hanging out with her while you guys are with other people. then once youve gone on 3 'dates' tell her. if she says that she doesnt want to be with you ask if you can still be friends. GOOD LUCK. [ allchical2193's advice column | Ask allchical2193 A Question ]
Cath answered Thursday April 21 2005, 8:30 pm: H Sweetie,
Playing hard to get doesn't realy work doing it on girls. As a girl myself I notice that generally it is the opposite. Girls tend to fall for guys that show affection for them. Maybe it's just me and my low self-esteem, but I have fallen for a guy mainly because I thought he liked me. Had he not liked me or not had been the one to make the first move I wouldn't had really noticed him. There are always excpetions and it does depend on who the person is and... I'm just giving an example of the "general" stuff.
Anyway, I think it is cool if you guys hang out... but maybe it wouldn't be that great of an idea to go out (even if it's just as friends). I mean, if you know that it is only going to lead into you liking her more and... making it worst then it's best that you only hang out at school and if you do hang out outside of school then with like lots of friends there too. Plus, she may get in trouble with her boyfriend. But if you are 100% confident (it better be 100% confident though) that you can manage going out as just friends and you aren't going to feel all sad that she isn't your girlfriend or you're not going to come on to her or something then it's cool if you hang out of school. Don't be too rejected if she says no. Maybe she doesn't think her boyfriend would approve.
If you guys do hang out outside of school or not I think that you guys should efenetly be friends. Don't be tied down to only liking her. Like other chicks or try. And be a good friend and always be there for her. ...And when the time passes and she and her current boyfriend are no longer together... something could happen then. Just put it off for later. Have some distance between you and her so you won't try anything weird and you won't feel depressed that she has a boyfriend, but zstill be a good friend and earn her trust. It will pay off later.
Be good. Hope it turns out cool. Have a nice day. ~Blessed Be... [ Cath's advice column | Ask Cath A Question ]
o0xbrianna answered Thursday April 21 2005, 8:10 pm: Yeah I think you should wait until they are broken up. Maybe she likes you too and is just afraid to tell you or something? You never know. I think you should hang out with her. I think you should tell her you like her too (if you didn't already). Good luck!
