| Well it all started in October. I met this girl in my English class. We peer edited a paper together and she was really nice and before long I developed a crush on her. When I realized it I got flustered and we didn't really talk after that for like a month and then our teacher changed the seating arrangement in the room and we sat right in front of each other. Gradually we started talking to each other more. Finally, right before winter break, our class was in a computer lab and she sat alone so near the end of class I went up and talked to her. Being an introvert, this was huge. When I got back from break, we were talking all the time. It was just natural and I liked her for her and I was really happy (not that I wasn't before, but you understand.) But then I made a cataclysmic mistake: I tried to get her number and it failed. She got quieter with me after that. Eventually, I gave her a small bday present, and I felt confident again. Until Tim g ot involved that is. If you don't know him I can sum him up like this: former friend. He figured it out and tried to pull me down. Telling me how she finds me creepy and I stare at her etc. Tim is not a reputable person.. However it got quiet with her too and we didn't talk for awhile and even then it wasn't like before where it was real and such. And she'd been in the library because of a huge assignment and Tim kept planting it in my head that it was actually because of me. It nearly destroyed me. Finally, somebody noticed what was going on and told on Tim for me. He apologized and admitted he went too far. However, he still claimed that she viewed me as a creep and whatnot, so I was still skeptical of him in saying that he'd back off. Finally I was talking to a friend of me and her's about it in vague terms and he was able to figure out I was talking about her. He advised me to stay away. I said I understood I just couldn't believe all that had happened. Surprisingly he d idn't know what was going on, so I explained what I knew. Afterwards he said that she had been a little creeped out by staring, but that Tim had definitely overexaggerated. He also said it would take time to die down. But surprisingly enough, the very next class she offered me leftover food and was talking to me. So far it's remained relatively consistent. My question is this: what now? I hope it doesn't sound silly but I'm just not sure. I wanna get her number, talk to her more. Not a relationship, just strong friendship. |
