Let me apologize in advance for making one of "those" threads, but I need a little help and I moved this from off topic to advice, sorry.

Hi, I meet a rather pretty girl about a month ago at a high school football game. I talked to her for about 30 minutes. She was friendly at first, but as the conversation went on, she became more closed off. I'm pretty good at reading body language, and she was just not into me, toward the end of the conversation, she was sitting in the corner with her legs crossed, texting and seemingly annoyed, even my wingman noticed. I offered her my jacket because she seemed cold, and she declined. That is fine, plenty of fish in the sea or other cliche. I left her alone and sat with my wingman and watched the game. I pass her in school regularly and for the next week I smiled at her and got a breif smile back, at first it kind of seemed forced. I stopped and focused on other girls for about a month. Now, based on 100% of my experience, on both sides of dating (chasing/being chased), you cannot change a persons opinion if they aren't attracted to you, so this is rare for me to have second thoughts about, but after I stopped paying attention to her, she is starting to act like she is attracted to me. Today, we made eye contact and she quickly looked away and blushed (thought I mentioned that but didn't so *edit*), and I seem to be seeing her more often like she is trying to pass by me, though we haven't talked since the game.

If it is of any importance, we are both fifteen, she is friends with my wingman, and I recently have joined the wrestling team and become slightly more toned, and she has been single for a month now, and at the football game she had recently broke up with her ex. I am not afraid of rejection, I just don't want to bother her if she doesn't like me. Sorry for the slightly long post.
Edit: As long as it's not too much of a problem, I'm gonna make a copy of this thread in advice forum, sorry I didn't know there was one.

She doesn't like you. If she was acting hostile for a long time, then brief eye contact doesn't mean she likes you.

Emphatically this. You do no one any favours by playing guessing games - least of all your own sanity. Another conversation will give you a far better idea of how/if to proceed with it than any advice we could give beyond it. Worst that happens is you have another awkward 5-30 minute conversation and get a definitive answer.

The girl I liked would wink at me almost everyday and make body contact, and she didn't like me back.

Ps. anyone else slightly amused by the fifteen year old remarking on how toned he is?

Yes I was amused by that remark. In other news why am I seeing so many threads around about 14-15 year olds asking about if the should have sex with so and so or start dating so and so? You're not even 16, I enjoyed not caring about that when I was that age. But I might be a part of the minority, and I really don't care what other people do with their lives, I just don't understand it.

In response to the OP, yeah you should try to talk to her, that would probably be a good starting point...

Just because she's making eye contact with you and is now seeing you more doesn't mean she's into you. In fact it could be quite the opposite.

Because we can be such complicated creatures we have developed a poker-face and glare capable of conveying one of many different emotions or feelings, such as (but not limited to):

-Curiosity
-Disgust
-Anger
-Condescension
-Suspicion
-Disdain
-Distrust
-Playful teasing

...and many more things which require you to be in our minds at the moment to understand. If I had to cite what she was doing, I'd say she probably was taking a look at you with less than positive meaning or intent.

The safest bet though is to talk to her, and carefully study her mannerisms and tone. If you're as good with reading body language as you say you are, then it should be relatively easy to determine if she is or not indeed into you.

You say you're not afraid of rejection.

If you really mean that, I'd say the best course of action is just to ask her out. Simple as that.

You'll get a yes or a no, and you'll know for sure.

I can support this statement with 12 years experience "on the hunt" ;). Well ok your both 15, that means the whole techniques and reactions still are a little bit chaotic, so you cant be sure with the meaning of anything.
But really, eye contac has not to be a good sign or any.
Same for short physical contact or an honest looking smile. It can be just her being in a good general mood, trying to be polite or even trying to get rid of you, whatever.
You might smile at complete strangers sometimes too without being into them. Not everything you do is an intended signal.
So just go over there and ask her out and if that comforts you, she might even reject you IF she likes you.

A 30 minute chat is long. I think that she was getting a bit sick of you during that conversation. However, now that you've backed off, and it's a different situation, she's being more friendly. I don't think she's "into" you as such, I just think that now you've made a bit more distance between you and her you've proven to her that you're not a creep who is going to hassle her all the time, so she's warmed to you a little. I had the same thing happen with a girl I knew, at first she acted like she didn't want to know me but after a few months we started to click a bit more, just because she got familiar enough with me to realise that I wasn't a sleaze or was able to be trusted or wasn't distracted or whatever. How you'll do with the relationship thing is anyone's guess though, nothing you've posted gives any solid indication of anything there.

Just...freaking...talk...to...her.

You'll never know just guessing and you have a better idea than anyone on this site.

Speak to her and see what happens, and if its a big thing to you dont put it off or it will drive you crazy.

Firstly, don't apologize for utilizing the Advice forum, and making a thread in which you're seeking advice. This is the exact reason the Advice Forum was created to begin with. :)

Seeing as she had recently broken up with her boyfriend when you two first talked, perhaps her change in tone/attitude towards you throughout the conversation was her realizing what she was doing, and possibly even that she wasn't ready to be flirting with another guy. Though, of course, the other possibility was that she realized she wasn't interested in you, or even liked you, unfortunately. One final reason could have been she was irritated with whomever she was texting. Unlikely, yes, but a possibility nonetheless.

And that's precisely why you should just talk to her. Be honest, and straight-forward. Most times just asking that burning question will give you the most direct and truthful answer. Being unafraid of rejection only means this conversation should be even easier for you to engage in.

She almost certainly doesn't. Sorry for the brutal honesty, but it's usually the best way to make people think straight.

I'm going to go with a no on this one. How does she manifest her newly found attraction to you? Give an example.

Maybe she is just opening up to you more because it has been a while since the game where she probably just got tired of you and thought you were being to needy, hence the rejective artitude she exhibited. She probably realized tha you are an okay guy.

And eye contact could mean many many things.

Ok, here's the big question: are you interested in her? If yes, then get to know her. If not, then don't. If you're unsure as to whether she likes you or not, you need to take a leap and get out there. If you want to date this girl, you have to be willing to take that risk. If not, then you lack the will to do it and you need to work yourself up to do it. If want something, you have to be willing to take steps to accomplish your goal. Without taking these steps, you will go nowhere.

Fact of the matter: if she continues to talk with you, she's probably at least a little interested in you. If she doesn't, you're wasting your time and effort.

She either doesn't like you or she is just shy.

Ask her out sometime maybe get to know her you will probably have a better idea whether or not she likes you after it.

Ah, the game of attraction poker between men and women, trying to work out what cards the member of the opposite sex is holding without showing your cards. Where losing the game can result in embarrassment and sometimes ridicule. I hate that game....

You said she is friends with your wingman. If he is any good he can help you out, either by subtly getting an idea of what she thinks about you. All you has to do is bring you up in conversation and see how she reacts. If he says just out of the blue 'what do you think to my friend x' then he gets his wingman license revoked.

Or he can help by talking to her when you are around, so that you can join in the conversation without too much embarrassment.

But in the end she may like you but not as much as you want. At worst you may get a new friend out of it, just not a girlfriend.
