Should I still do it? (Really long story)?

OK, so there's this girl that I work with at Publix, and we're both 18. She's gorgeous, friendly, funny, everything I could ever hope for in a girl.

After a couple of months of working together, we became pretty good friends. I eventually asked her for her number, saying...

"Hey, let me get your number. You know, so I can annoy you whenever I want to."

"(Laughs and gives number) Now, you have to give me your number, so I can annoy you back."

A few days later, while I was working and she wasn't, I played a joke on her through text message. She told me, "Haha, your so mean! But I still love you!" Then later on, she came into work and jokingly hit me on the back, telling me how "mean" I am. As she left, she made her mom stop the car so that she could yell "BYE (My name)" out the window. Another worker that was nearby told me, "Man, you're so lucky. She definitely likes you." Oddly enough, that same day after I got off work I went to the mall with a friend, she was there. She saw me, and ran up and hugged me so hard it nearly knocked me over. That night, we were having a good conversation through text messaging.

The next day, I tried texting her again, but her responses were really bland and uninterested. Almost as if I were annoying her.

About a week later, there was a concert coming up so I invited her to come along with a friend and I. She said she couldn't, because she was going to be at her dad's house. (Seems like an odd excuse to me. :/ )

A couple weeks after that, I was in the aisles of Publix, stocking shelves, when she came back and started talking to me for a while. Then she said she was leaving, gave me a hug, and left. When I finished stocking, a friend of mine asked,

"Hey, are you and (the girl I'm talking about) going out?"

"No, why?"

"When I asked her what she was doing, she said she was looking for someone. Then she walked back to where you were. She likes you, man." (Note: This is a different friend than the one that was convinced she liked me before.)

However, the other day I offered to give her a ride home (she can't drive yet), and she said that she didn't need one.

About a week later, she mentioned,

"Man, I hope I don't have to walk home in this cold."

"Oh, I can give you a ride home if you want."

"No, that's okay. I have a ride, I just hope it doesn't cancel."

Just yesterday, I was completely sure I was going to ask her out, and I was ready to do it, but ironically enough some guy that she knows from school goes through her line and starts hitting on her. She's obviously uninterested in him to the point that she seemed upset that he was there, and he leaves dejectedly. Now, she's obviously frustrated, and goes on to tell me a story about another guy from work asking her out and how she keeps trying to avoid him now because she doesn't want to go out with him. It was an awkward time to ask her on a date, so I didn't.

We're good friends, and we're always hanging out and talking to each other at work, and I've gotten to the point where I can't stop thinking about her.

She has my number, but has only texted me without me texting her first a couple times. I've texted her a few times, but I don't do it a whole lot so I don't seem desperate.

Now, I don't know if I should ask her out or not. I mean, she has sort of diverted my advances already, but she's given me all the signs that she's interested in me, and I'm crazy about her.

So what should I do?

Thanks you for all your help! :)

    Well obviously she like u and u like her back so take a chance and ask her out. If she rejects u then whateva if she accepts then GOOD LUCK!!

  • Don't ask her out just yet.

    Her going to her dad's house isn't really odd if the parents are seperated.

    The guys at the store are convincing you that she likes you because they got turned down. Which is good on your part, it'll build your confidence. Here's my advice. Get her alone (at work or school, whatever) and tell her that you've noticed her acting different and you want to make sure everything is ok. (throw in a "I don't like to see you look all frustrated" or something of the nature. The reason i say don't ask her out just yet is because it's a little soon still. Get to know her a little more and i know as hard as it may be, try not to act TOO into her. Show her that you like her, but don't tell her. Get what i'm saying. Women are a mysterious figure that no man will ever figure out, so the only thing you can do is study her, her ways, and make sure she is taken care of.

    By the way, when the douche was in line hitting on her, why didn't you walk up and say something like "Ready for your break" or something like that. If a chick seems uninterested in a guy then block him, he's just digging a hole for himself, so your helping him and her.

    Also you should read the book "Emotionally Intelligent" i can't remember the author but it's a pretty good book with good pointers about confidence and how to snag a chick the easy way without competition interfering. Good luck bro

    Seeing that I am a chick, I do it too, all these situations where she couldn't do something like get a ride, well she probably didn't need one but wanted to make conversation to talk to, she probably had nothing else to say but wanted to talk to you, and for the whole dad thing, have u ever thought that her parents are divorced and that, that weeken is the only time she gets to see her dad?

    look it think the girl likes you but she is trying to stay away to keep herself from looking desperate, and when she does go up to you she is probably just had a good day and felt confident, but the days she doesn't are the days she isn't as confident because she likes you

    when a guy is hitting on her and she complains about it just be a friend and you'll get some bonus points with her- nice move by the way by not asking hwer out during that time- also, if she is never calling try calling her for ounce, make sure you have some topics to talk about before you do because a silent phone call is an awkward phone call, oh and when u do call her try asking her (a week in advanced because she is probably busy) out somewhere

    oh and she is porablly just as nervous as you are because im guessing- i am pretty good at getting these things right- she thinks you are really cute too

    wow. this seems like a movie. I see this is a very difficult situation. All I can tell you is that I can see you're really into her, and she seems to as well. Talk to her more, maybe something happened so she started saying no to you giving her a ride and the concert. Talking it out will give you and her a deep understanding of what's happening between you guys. You can give her some advice, tell her that she doesn't have to be all frustrated, tell her it's normal for guys to fall for her, tell her to take it easy...it will all work out. I doubt it was only that reason that shes all frustrated, maybe she's having some friends/family problems? There's a lot more to girls than you can imagine. Just give her some time to relax and think it out, she'll be okay soon enough. Just give her a call instead of texting, cuz it can get annoying sometimes...give her a call & tell her: Hey [her name], I know you're pretty upset right now, but if you need anyone to talk to, I'll be here", just let her know you'd be willing to help and talk to her. :)

    Everything takes patience...nothing ever comes easy in life..right?

    So wait a little bit, and when things start going back to normal...talk more hang out more..and just take a chance, life is all about risks and confidence. Just believe & you'll succeed. :)

    Hope this helped. Good luck!

    My question is this, what was in the text messages the night that you came back in to work and she acted differently? I had an experience with a gentleman that was a friend and I loved him dearly. However, he started calling a lot and making innuendos that I was not comfortable with. Maybe you said something in the text messages along those lines? When she was telling you about the other co-worker she may have been hinting to you also. I would go slowly right now and be her friend. Have fun, laugh and joke. Give it a little while and see how things fall. I know you are crazy about her but it sounds like she is being cautious with you. Life is long and you have time to wait. Good Luck!

    Well by the sounds of it I would say that you've fallen for this girl. Congrats. Now i do think shes interested. In fact she sounds really interested. But she may be having problems in her life that she needs to sort out. Now about not taking the car ride, its perfectly logical, most likely her intentions are to keep away from awkward situations, and from temptation. It's good that you don't want to seem desperate, but let her know that your still interested. Now i don't see you saying anything about flirting, flirt with her see how she reacts.If she flirts back then it's a positive she likes you. I would say stop being so afraid and what's the consequence of throwing away your fears (not trying to steal from the movie love guru, but its a good question) and the answer is nothing. So next time you see her and she looks like shes in a good mood, Ask her out.

    Hope this helps

    Yeah, it sounds like her feelings are kinda inconsistent. I honestly don't think it's a good time to ask her out, due to the fact that she seems to have over issues within, and if you ask her out, that would only furthur her issues.

    I also don't think you should always text first; if she has access to you as well, then why can't she do it? You seem like a good guy, so you really don't need to change up anything about yourself, just how you address her and stuff.

    There's always a chance that if you "do" ask her out, it might make her day and completely change the outcome of things. It all depends on how you feel. I hope you do well with her.

    first, your approach to get her number was really good - non-threatening and friendly -- the opposite from the guys who are hitting on her while she working. guys hitting on you in the line like that is really annoying and way too obvious

    don't ask her out at work, you don't want to be one of those other guys

    she obviously likes you, but it could be she just likes you as a friend. are you ok with that?

    if you are ok with the idea she might only want to be friends, then you should take a chance and ask her out. if you see her get frustrated that some loser is hitting on her, cheer her up! throw in something subtle like "if I thought I had a chance with you, I'd probably act like that jackass too" -- something that gives her a clue that you're into her, but not super aggressive

    but remember, she may just love you as a friend, so she may not want to take it further. if you aren't satisfied with just friends, you should take a step back, keep being nice to her, but find someone else

    Mk, I am 18 as well and being a girl i thought i could help. I am sorry my gender is so confusing. She could be playing hard to get. And the excuse she is going to be at her dads house isn't lame. If her parents are divorced and she lives with her mom during the week or something, she probably misses her dad dearly and wants to spend all the time she can with him since he isn't there all the time like her mom. Stay close friends with her. Just say, "hey we need to hang out this weekend." If she says ya definitely or something like that, you know she wants to. if she is hesitant like uh...sure or yea, keep it friends right now. You don't need to rush things, Just be super happy with all the time you do get to spend with her. She seems to be flirting with you a lot, so i say GO FOR IT!! lol. If she rejects you, know you will always be friends

    Wow! You work in Publix? Must be in FL then. I was in the same situation too. Just wait it out a bit, or ask her out for coffee and see if she wants to talk to you about what is going on. If she does, then she trusts you enough and then grow your friendship off that. Sooner or later you will be able to ask her out, because even now you can tell she likes you.

    Well, if I were u, I would totally do it. I mean if you dont, you still wont be able to stop thinking about her, and you will always be asking yourself, "ughh, what if she said yes?".. so you will constantly be doubting yourself and wondering why u didnt when the chance is gone. So dont take her for granted. Ask her out when u feel its the right time because otherwise, later in life, you will be wishing you had given it a try. (Plus.. what is there to lose?)..

    So go for it :)
