    Question

    I like a girl. I'm 14 in the 9th grade. i've liked her since 7th grade. My friend liked her too and it caused conflict. There was also another guy who was obsessed with her. She doesn't like all the attention. well last year in the 8th grade, i told her i liked her. on myspace she told me she didnt like me. she liked a guy in her church about an hour and a half from where she lives. I even wrote a story (with diferent names) of her and all the problems with the 2 other boys. She went out with the guy she likes and today i asked her if she still going out with him. She said no. maybe it's my chance. i still like her and i think she likes me. at lunch she sometimes looks at me while she's talking to her friend. i sit at the same lunch table as her. Help what should i do!!?? we have a lot in common and i feel she likes me and realized her ex wasn't her right choice. help, please!

    Answer

    I think you should tell her again - that you still like her, and would like to spend more time with her. If she says she would like that, find something you can do together - share homework time, a community project, a hobby. Do not push, just get to know each other. Good luck!
