Do you think she likes me?


Question Posted Monday June 18 2012, 2:26 am

I'm a 16 year old male and I have never had a girlfriend. This bothers me a lot because all of my friends have but I'm left out. I'm pretty shy, but I can talk to people once I get to know them. I have low self esteem and I feel like I'm not attractive to girls. I am 6 foot 3, 140 pounds and play basketball for my school. There was this girl this year that I really liked, and she was all I could think about all year, and still think about even though it is summer. She came to me when she had problems and said I was a great guy, but I dont think she saw me as more than just a person to talk to to feel better. She would always text me for help on homework, but wouldnt really keep the conversation going after I had helped her. One time though she did ask me who I liked over text. We had a few classes together and she would always sit by me, but outside of class she barely even looks at me. She is the only girl at my school that I would ever see myself dating, but I think she is leaving after this year. I feel like a loser for liking her for so long but I cannot stop thinking about her, and for not making my interest more visible to her. I dont really know why I'm asking this question I just want another perspective other than my own.

Thanks!

Hey there, Thank you for inboxing :)
Okay firstly let me start by saying there is absolutely nothing wrong with never having a boyfriend. I was 16 when I first started dating my current boyfriend,who was also my first.
It's about being patient and waiting for the right person. You should get into a relationship for the right reasons and not because you feel pressured or want to seem cool. Having tonnes of meaningless relationships throughout your teen years is over rated. I know it can be hard though,especially when you see your friends with their girlfriends. But embrace your independence and enjoy being single while you can. Before all the stress and a responsibility of a relationship.
You sound pretty attractive. Sports can be very attractive to girls. Try and have more self confidence in yourself!
About this girl I really think you should face your fear and nerves and ask her out! What's the worst that can happen?that she politely says no. At least you know you tried. Instead of living without ever having known the result. She seems like a nice girl and she said you were a great guy? Try flirting with her a bit and gauge her reaction. Pay her some compliments. She has no clue you are interested in her you need to make this known. Don't let fear of rejection hold you back,if you do you will never get anywhere in life. It's something we all must face at some stage or another. Trust me I've been rejected numerous times,but it makes you stronger,braver even.
Put yourself out there. Keep it casual ask her would she like to go on a date? the movies,mall, or to get coffee or something or dinner.
Good luck and be confident!
