Girls: how likely is it that she likes me? Bear with me; it’s a long explanation.?
Alex asked:
Now, I am a guy, so bear with me if she’s being obvious and I’m not picking up on it… I’m just a guy, after all. Haha, anyway…
First off, I go to a big college; it’s a huge three-part campus. A girl grabbed me by the arm about a month ago, saying she was in my class (which was canceled that day) and that we had another class together an hour later. Anyway, I thought she was just commenting on the fact that our class was canceled (silly me) when she asked if she could keep me company until class. I said yes, and then told her my plans, which were just heading over to the Student Union. I was just going to catch up on reading, but we ended up talking the full hour (about school, future plans, and our hometowns… oh, and of course our favorite show, Lost). We then walked to class together and sat down next to each other, and when class ended we said goodbye and nice to meet you.
Now we sit together in both classes and walk with each other from the one to the other. I always smile at her and vice versa when we talk, and she laughs a lot, even at times when I’m not making jokes or saying anything funny… not so much a laugh as maybe a giggle of sorts. She’s always really nice to me, and once when I passed her in the hall I didn’t see her. She lightly tapped me on the arm as I passed, and I looked back. She just kept walking, but I could tell it was her.
Anyway, I never study for classes (I’m one of those lucky people who can ace without really having to put much effort into it), but she had said she was nervous about the exam coming up. I asked if she’d study with me the day after. She said sorry, but she had to work until four, but I explained that I had classes until 3:30. Her eyes sort of lit up, and she asked if we could meet at half past four. I then suggested we meet near where we first talked, and we did. She apologized for being a minute or two late, but I said no biggie. Then I sort of led the way to where we would study (they ended up locking the building down next to us when we did), and we ended up staying for about an hour-and-a-half, studying and mixing in conversation as well. I guess the lockdown had my family worried, though, so they came and picked me up and I left even though we felt like studying some more. She then suggested she walk with me out to the parking lot, and she took the bus back over to the dorms.
Anyway… she’s asked me twice since then after our last class where I was going, and I told her I had to go home. The second time I told her this she said “Again?!”, and I asked where she was going. She goes to Starbucks every now and then, she said, and I’m pretty sure she wants me to accompany her one of these days.
Anyway, I’m asking her if she’d like to go with me tomorrow for sure, but I’m going to make sure it’s really casual. From everything I have said, does it seem like she likes me, and is there anything I should be watching for to better interpret whether or not she does?
Thanks for your help and bearing with me in advance. I wish I could give you each ten points for just reading this, but I’ll have to settle for giving ten to the best response. Thanks again.
Hahahaha, it’s not so much that I can’t see the signs as it is I have my doubts about them. But for all of you who have even made the effort to read it, thank you so much. Honestly, I’m amazed everyday to find that people are willing to put up with me.
SwissMiss: Yes, Starbucks, not home. That would be incredibly awkward, I agree. Haha, and there was an emergency right where I was on campus. It was all over the news, so naturally my family was nervous.
