Poll: Final confirmation

[SirDeadly]

Right, there is this girl that I have know for a very long time, about 8 or so years (back in primary). So now we are both 17 and I have realized that she is exactly what I am looking for. We have been talking for the past 6 or so weeks for around 5 hours most days (just over msn because it's late at night). I'm fairly sure she likes me but I'm one of those people who needs to be 110% sure before I ask important questions like these.

Last week she came over to my place to watch a movie (I made a bet with her which she won and she chose to come over to my house for a swim but that ended up being a movie because it was cold) and I bought her lunch. While we were watching the movie she was playing on my iPod and then started playing that keep away game just trying to get me to touch her I assume (to find the iPod which she had hidden).

I had one of my friends (who is a girl) to ask her if she felt anything for me and she replied "Not really, he is a great friend." And this is basically the reason why I'm asking you guys.

So what do you think Escapist?

Just ask her, that's the only way to find out for sure. If she really is just a good friend then she won't mind you having feelings for her, if she likes you on the other hand then you've got yourself a date!

If she expressed to your friend that she's not interested in you, I suggest you stop contemplating whether or not she likes you. However, if you feel that she's giving you the opposite signals, and may not have been truthful about what she said, express your feelings toward her. Worst that can happen is she doesn't feel the same way. The sooner you find out the less you'll stress about what if's and could be's.

Go for it.
I know all to well what happens when you wait.

Actually I made a post about it here;

Please forgive the shameless promotion.

The only way to know how she feels is to ask her. Just be honest with her, that's the only way to find out. However, make sure to emphasise that if she doesn't feel the same way then it's fine and nothing will change between you two.

Oh and I wouldn't pay much attention to what she said to her friend - a large majority of the timegirls are too shy to admit who they like and so even if asked directly will deny it so that may be true, it may not be true.

If you're too shy to tell her outright, just keep doing small things that could possibly be taken as a sign you like her to try and "test the water", if she responds positively then tell her, if not then she probably doesn't.

I'm not going to answer that!!! (I mean I'm not going to answer to the poll about wetter she likes you or not) If you need to be 100% sure that she likes you before you ask her out, then you don't deserve her. If you like her ask her out, if you don't don't, if you are not sure wetter you like her or not then ask a friend. Come on is this really that hard.
I feel like such a jerk for saying it like this, because I also asked for advice about relationships. But come on, man up a little and take the risk to get your ass burnt. That's all part of life.
Though I must thank you, for you just made myself realize how stupid I was acting myself. I also should take the risk to get my ass burnt.
And don't take the sissy path of dropping hints and using friends. Ask her up-front. If she says yes good for you, if she says no too bad. If she's really a good friend of you she won't be an ass about it and stay your friend even if she rejects you.

I hope you man up a little.
