I thought this was going to be 8-10mo for college.

edit: We already pulled off a 2.5 week stint of being apart and we managed just fine with only cellphones and emails. But I was just hoping to see what others have to say.
And then hate women for the rest of his life. There's no need for him to take a cynical attitude against relationships, just be conscious that nothing is permanent and that you owe it to you and her to try and perpetuate that relationship of yours.Adams_BJ wrote:

Lets be honest. You aren't gonna marry this chick. Stop making out like you were meant for each other and that you know its forever. Everyone's first love is like that.
Take an attitude like that and you are gonna be fine

Well she sounded like she liked your company, which may or may not mean anything. I don't see any telltale signs of attraction really. There's lots of very friendly girls like that who sometimes give out the wrong idea. I mean, she could like you, but I'd need more.
Ask her if she wants to go catch the latest movie or grab coffee or sit at lunch or whatever. If she politely declines, she's just really friendly. If she says yes, ??? profit. The trick is to be casual. Even if it seems like a big deal to you, it's not, period. Don't build up expectations.
Well it sounds like she likes you, or at least she likes talking to you....she asked for your number, are you too dense to figure that out? Next time you see her, ask her if she wants to get together outside of school sometime._j5689_ wrote:

Well that depends, Eifa could be withholding her comments because she thinks you silly for making a big deal out of nothing, or because she finds you silly for not recognizing what is obvious_j5689_ wrote:

She was never that friendly with me until this year, I've known her for like almost two years and I've liked her before but she wouldn't go to the movies with me. But these past three days have been way more different. I've been a lot more confident with her these times, more than I ever was. And she never asked me for my number before.Bevo wrote:

edit: Sometimes they may even go "out" with you even when they're not attracted. Do yourself a favor and look up telltale body language signs. Often times girls are too outwardly nice and just go even if they don't want to, for pity or to not make things awkward or whatever. What they say with their mouth is not so important, but their body reaction is. "yeah sure I'd love to go" while looking off into the distance is something completely different than the same sentence while looking into your eyes.
Oh, and a big telltale sign that a girl like you: They use your name often when a prefix would suffice. They almost always do that.
I want to be as sure as I can be this time. I was waaaaay to forward with her before, this time I'm playing it safer.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

Yeah, she did put emphasis on having me fixing the stuffLai wrote:
In general I find it almost shocking that most questions in this thread come down to: "does this girl like me?", when the question should really be "do I like this girl?".

Personally, not fully knowing the context, I wouldn't make too much of it. However, the fact that she asked for your telephone number is quite a hint. Look at it this way; if she just needed "the tech guy", whenever needed, she could have just called the office to send "the tech guy".
I can't say without knowing the circumstances. For example, the girl I took to the senior homecoming. Hottest girl in the school. We went to middle school together, had a few classes together IIRC and never really conversed much. Nor the first two years of highschool. Junior year she said "Hi" with a big smile in the hallway and I did a double take. We became fairly good friends, but at no time did she really like me. She wanted me to take her to homecoming, and naturally I obliged. It didn't really mean anything however and thankfully I didn't make a fool of myself trying to make a move or anything._j5689_ wrote:

It's more of when they're talking to you. Normally people use a prefix, or just omit your name. Like "Hey marty what are you up to?" vs "Hey what's up?". Subtle difference and most people don't recognize it.And I'm not sure if you meant something other than prefix. But she did say to the lady "Marty can do ANYTHING with computers" when I was ready to hook up the printer, almost as though I wasn't there, cause I'm not so used to hearing my name in the third person in my own presence, lol.
If you've asked her out before and she's shown no interest, go for it! Seriously, if a girl that isn't interested knows you are, she is likely to take caution keep a certain distance. If she then suddenly takes the initiative and asks for your number, well, the tide may have turned._j5689_ wrote:

That doesn't say a thing. I knew a girl who said she could do ANYTHING on slippers, after I recommended her getting mountain boots for an expedition we were going on. I never really spoke to her again after the expedition_j5689_ wrote:

The other way around, a girl not saying anything at all or even being plain rude, yet,.. I've never been so sure about a girl liking me, than with one I couldn't speak with at all.Bevo wrote:
