I like this girl, but my instincts say to stay away from her...?

Okay, first let me starts off with a little of my history. I am a white male that lived in the Projects until the age of 9, then I went to live with my Grandparents who managed to straighten me out. I'm 18 now and I've known this girl for 2 years now and we've been friends since. I may have been straightened out by my grandparents, but something that stayed was my undeniable instincts (i.e. Being able to tell when something is up) and I can only think of 1 incident where I was mistaken, all the other times I was right on the money.

Now I'm trying my best to ask out this girl that I've been friends with (I already have the courage to do it), but every time I do my instincts flare like crazy. They keep screaming, literally screaming, "STAY AWAY!!!!" I trust this girl to an unimaginable length, more than I trust most of my friends, no...All of my friends.

What's going on? I really like this girl, but something just wont allow me to do it. Any ideas?

    The simple, clear answer to this is: whenever you're unsure what to do because of an instinct, wait. Just wait patiently. Observe the person's behavior over time. A person will show their natural stripes over time - it's unavoidable.

    btw, if you choose to jump into something romantic before you're sure you should, the sex tends to serve as blinders, making it even harder to see the objective truth because of the emotional attachment the sex brings with it. That's why NOW is the time to be watchful and undecided.

    I know what you're feeling. I had a similar experience with a girl. I really liked her and thought she was perfect, but my friends and family kept telling me to stay away from her, so I did. Then one day I heard she was thrown in jail for stealing over $1,000 of merchandise and she has up to 1 year in jail. My friends and family were like I told you so, and she would have probably stolen from me to.

    So basically listen to your family and don't go for it. Trust your instinct because if it doesnt feel right, it probably isn't.

    Go with your head and your heart ..you should just take her out and feel her out a little more because those scared feelings might come from your insecuriy and deep inner fear to be vunerable...i lived in the projects to in manhattan and parts of brooklyn and i know its not easy to trust people because they might judge you from where you come from but trust me when the right girl comes to you all those fears will melt away..and whats the worst that can happen a broken heart right but you cant let fear run your life...live it to the fullest who knows just take a chance and if you dont you will always wonder what if

    Your instincts are almost ALWAYS right.

    You should definitely be wary around her and probably stay away from her.

    Sometimes self preservation is worth more than doing risky things, even if we want to.

    Try to find out more about her. Then you'll see if she's done something in the past that would justify your hunch. Get the facts, and then you'll be able to identify the problem.

    ah hi, do what you think is best... and if that load of crap doesn't work you should go on an experiment date (maybe two if your not sure) and it it (they) don't go well, same "i'd rather go back to the way it was b4" blaw blaw blaw, if it goes well and you want to take a chance agest your instinct, go for it!

    well .... try to think harder about your relationship......maybe its best if you just stay friends....and you should hav some conversations a bout you and her and your relationship....u kno.. casually....and think off reasons why getting with her might be bad even if SHE doesnt do anything hurt you....for example...somone connected to her that might cause problems for you

    Maybe your psychic powers are telling you something bad is going to happen in the future with her.

    Always trust your instinct, your intuition, your heart...it's usually right.
