Please help me!! I'm a guy having problems with a girl.?
I need some serious guidance!!! I'm a 17 year old male and I have been having trouble dating girls. I say 'girls' in general, but it is really just this one girl that I can't seem to get out of my mind. I started off being friends with her because she was in one of my classes at school. Not best friends or anything, but I would say hello to her as we passed by and we would chat in class.
I had known her for about a year and a half when I decided I was well and truly attracted to her, not just because she was beautiful, but because she was a great girl to be around. I began chatting to her more frequently and she was responding too as she became more friendly to me. I didn't tell her in exact words that I 'liked her' but I tried to subtly hint the idea.
With some intense mental preparation (which was tough for me, as I am incredibly shy around girls, and anything that comes out of my mouth is just a stutter) I asked her out to go skating with me at a rink. I remembered her saying she loves skating, but hadn't had the chance to go in a long time. To my absolute delight, she was more than happy to go out with me. So we went to the rink and had a great time. As She left she told me she would see me back at school and that was that.
But back at school, she wouldn't talk to me. When ever her eyes caught sight of me she would turn away. I tried to talk to her, but she would always find an excuse to leave. I picked up the hint that she didn't have feelings for me so I backed off. At first I was a little angry (I'll be honest) as I invested so much hard work into this one girl, and treated the situation so delicately until it blew up in my face. But I sympathize with her as I've had a girl like me when I didn't like her back, and I found it tough to tell her the truth.
This has happened to me many times before, but this time was different because I REALLY cared about this girl and I thought she felt the same about me. Even though I have tried to move on, I can't help but still feel uncontrollably attracted to her, and no other girls I come across seem to match her beauty. It always seems the girls that like me, I don't like back..... and the girls I like, have no interest in me..... I know little about females as I grew up in a household of entirely males. Could you please share your thoughts/ tips/ solutions to my problem. Thank you very much!!! ;D
I know it's REALLLLLY long, thank you if you took the time to sit out and read it ;D
Some helpful answers here fellas, cheers ;)

Bob, you kinda recounted my story that happened quite a few years back. :)
If anybody tells you how exactly girls think, they will be half lying (at least that's what I think, because I don't think there is a general way in which all girls will think.).
What makes you so sure that she's trying to tell you that she doesn't like you? Maybe she wants to find out? There can be lots of such questions.. but I think this is the best you can do:
Wait it out for some more time. See how she reacts. Does she start talking to you again or does she continue her 'turning away' acts. If she continues to avoid you, I think you can probably go over to her (in a gentlemanly fashion) and ask her if she's cross with you because of anything. From experience, even if there is something, most girls I've seen never responded right away. They just said things like "No.. why do you ask?". If that's the case, tell her that you are sorry if you did anything wrong and that you liked talking to her and now you felt uncomfortable about this alienation. And then move on. If she tells you there is something, of course you'll have an answer to that.
All said and done, if she doesn't like you (now or for ever), remember the game goes on. Tell yourself you have to move on and concentrate on other things in life - your schoolwork, your sports, your 'guy things'. I don't think I'll be wrong when I say this: that's lots of real girls will probably like you when you don't behind them and follow your interests in life. That way, you are much more a man worth pursuing :) Generally concentrate on having a good life and you'll probably soon come across your beauty.
All the best.

When you guys were skating, did you recall of doing anything "flirtatious" to her like touching her and making your move like what other pervert guys would do to girls. If so, then she read your actions and it's a sign that she should avoid you (to prevent any future mishaps)
If you aren't one of the guys mentioned in my previous sentence, then it's simply the girl's problem. Maybe something caught her up that day (skating with you but didn't ask permission and she was caught by her mom or dad) or maybe she was thinking of something and then diverted her anger on you. There are a lot of situations, reasons and explanations especially if a girl suddenly does that to a guy out of nowhere.
DON'T BE A COWARD to ask her what's wrong, what happened and why is she like this or like that. Since you guys are friends, then you should ask her then in a friendly and normal way. If you don't, then this problem will keep replaying in your head and then you'll regret it all throughout your school year.
IF YOU REALLY LIKE HER, or if you DO HAVE FEELINGS FOR HER, then go and ask her out.
Be friends again. Win her trust and the friendship you've lost.
NOTE: If she treats or gives you the cold shoulder, it's best if you back off. But make sure when you back off, just act formal as if nothing happened and show at least 1% concern to her (for the sake of politeness). Don't run after her like what you did before, it will make her puke and avoid you the more. worse case scenario, she'll avoid you like hell.
hope this helps.
goodluck~

I'm a girl, 16 myself (though I'm not sure how old the girl you like is) and to be completely honest, most girls if their asked on a date will say yes because it's a pressure thing. Well think about it and establish weather we like this guy or not. She might have had a wonderful time with you but just decided, he's nice, but I can't date him, that would be awkward. So as sad as it is, some girls will just avoid you to stay away from what they think is leading you on.
Best solution from experience?
Ask her why.
I get so frustrated with guys because they refuse to be up front. If their sad, tell us! Now all girls are different but that's from my experience.
Finally, I know you probably won't like this, but I don't understand the purpose of dating, you spend time together, maybe hold hands and kiss, but other than that, I really think every thing else should be left for marriage. It's great to be single and have friends that are girls, there is no awkwardness and you get to just hang out. No one gets hurt (usually) and it's much easier to be open.
-Girls perspective I know, but that's what I've got, hope it helps! :D

nicely maximum adult men that does no longer suggestions relationship a bi-sexual lady are shallow, because of the fact the main important reason they might decide directly to bypass out with you is to confirm you and yet another lady make-out, and in step with probability even have himself connect in. AKA: they're going to easily use you for his or her sexual pleasures, as you could tell from many of the responses. on the different hand, if a guy incredibly occurs to love you minus the bi factor, and appears like a advantageous guy then it might in all probability be ok. All adult men have different critiques on bi-sexuality; some will date them; some won't. it incredibly is only the way it incredibly is =

Best advice: move on. You're only 17. Focus on schoolwork, that's more important for you right now.
