I need advice on a girl I like. (A bit long 10 points for best answer)?

There's this girl I like and i've like her since yr 4 i'm yr 8 now and we're both in the same grade. i'm 14 and she's 13 (we're both really mature for our age and i'm not just saying that, i'm repeating what a lot of people have said). We've known each other since reception. I can't get her out of my mind, I feel like she is the only thing that is important to me in the world and i would do anything for her. The only problem is she likes another guy but he doesn't like her back and i'm afraid that if i ask her out it could ruin our friendship. One of her friends thinks that if she didn't like this guy she might fall for me. We also have most of the same interests and friends. Any ideas that aren't too forward cause she's a bit shy as well? I also think that she is the most beautiful girl in the world and that she has a wonderful personality. We're also really good friends. We also used to go to the same school but I moved near the end of yr 4. We still see each other occasionally cause our parents are part of a music group. We chat to each other about 4 or 5 times a week on facebook. I also don't know who the guy she likes is and if you mention flirting could you please explain what you mean cause I have no idea what it is. Also could you tell me what some signs are that she might like me?

    It appears you have a very good basis for a possible romantic relationship in another 3 years so it's important to 'tread carefully' and build on what you now have. What do you think about 'phoning her instead of talking on facebook? You could tell her you got bored with typing and reading and hope she doesn't mind chatting with you once in a while instead of always doing the facebook 'thing'. Since you have some common interests, as well as having friends in common, you shouldn't feel shy about talking to her 'almost' in-person as I'm sure you can verbalize what you would usually say on facebook plus you have 'old times' to talk about such as when you first met each other. The telephone is a much more personal way to get to know someone -- listening to their voice, and the way they speak, is far more personal than reading what a person's typed.

    Having parents in the same music group could be a plus for you as they must be in a group that performs 'somewhere' so, isn't it possible, (depending upon where they perform), for you to invite her to go to a concert with you? This is 'sort of but not really' asking her for a date ... all you need to do is say something like, " For the past few weeks I've been thinking,that it might be fun for Us To Go see our parents On Stage -- what do you think?" If she agrees, you then have your 'sort of but not really' date. Check with your parents re dress code and bring the young lady a 3-rose bouquet (yellow roses are for a bond of love and friendship, expressing feelings that say "I care for you"). If she'd rather not go to see parents, ask if she'd like to do something else such as going on a bike ride for a picnic. Perhaps there's a common interest subject you both would like to know more about -- a visit to a city library where you ignore the computer and, actually, get books to spread out on a table could prove to be interesting and rewarding.

    I don't think learning who the other boy is will be helpful to you ... it might be just the reverse but I'm sure you're curious so suggest you ask one or two trusted friends to find out what hey can about him. The reason I don't think this will be helpful is because everyone is an individual with their own set of unique characteristics and , fortunately, it's not possible to become a clone.

    When a girls likes a boy, she will give him smiles, shy or otherwise, and you should do the same -- this is a better way of flirting than staring into each other's eyes and missing out on instructions from your teacher!! When I was 12, in 8th, there were two boys in my class who liked me ~ they used to buy me small gifts (embroidered handkerchiefs, poetry books, small boxes of chocolates) and also gave me cute or funny Greeting cards.. Sixty-one years later, one of them is still my friend.. Hope all works out for you.

    So tell her we can't do it for you. If she likes you as a friend then keep her as a friend, your love will grow and you will never know what might happen down the road. I have a friend that I adore and we are very close. I love her as a friend, look if she wants something else and wants to be friends and you really like her don't let her go I'm telling you that you will always regret it. I adore my female friends.

    figure out what this guy is like. ask the people you can trust that know him but wont tell anybody that you asked. and wait a little more time until you tell her. but not too long. act really nice to her and protect her if you can if she needs help. and if you can right a song or something like that. if you think she'd like that. and if some signs that she likes you are that she smiles at you alot, and i dont know. but ask your/ her friends that you can trust not to tell that you asked her/ him to figure out how she feels about you. and trust me this is like my situation. im about the same age as you and so is the girl i like. and i think i am waiting to long. but i wrote a book basically telling her how i feel about her. i never talk to her really but when i even see her my heart skips a beat. i hope my advice helps you. good luck. always protect her.
