Ok, I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this, but I'm going for it. I have been here since last year when my ex and I separated. It wasn't a clean breakup, at least to me, and I tried several times to get her back. Anyway I'm not here for it at all. I'm beyond it. And yes people it gets better (just saying!)
I met this girl and she is in my finance class. The truth is I had noticed her before around campus and I thought she was really beautiful. I never talked to her and I barely saw her on campus until to my big surprise I walked in the finance class one day and she was sitting there. Man, I couldn't stop looking at her lol. I sat right next to her and didn't say anything. So the third day I just turned around and asked her what was her name. She told me, asked mine and we started chatting. She was really friendly with me and all. I could keep it inside and I just busted out "You're REALLY beautiful". She looked at me and smile and said thank you. After class she waited for me and we walked out together. Since then we have been doing it; she will wait for me and I'll walk her to her next class which is in the same building right after finance.
Now where is the problem? and why am I here? Well she is Muslim. She wears a hijab and all. I don't mind the hijab at all. I actually think it adds some sort of "charme" to her look; and beside I'm used to it. Although she wears a hijab, she doesn't wear very conservative cloths. I mean she mostly wear some leggings, spandex. I asked her out once she accepted, but then told me that as a Muslim girl we can't hang out just the both of us. I completely understand so I told her it was fine. She said she appreciates it and that she finds it hard to convey sometimes since a lot of people seem not to understand where she is coming from in term of her believes, but that it's not necessary a religious obligation for her, but more of a personal decision. We still talk and all. She is half Iranian and half Turkish, but born and raised in the US. I'm a black franco-cameroonian non-muslim lol.
Anyway I really like this girl and I don't know what to do. She seems to like me too. I told her I'm looking forward to get to know her and she told me she is looking forward to get to know me too. She is part of the Muslim Students Association on campus. They had a barbecue recently and she send me an email invitation. I went and I enjoyed it. I didn't necessary spent my time with her, I was talking to other people and it was really fun. I met her brother and it seems like he knew about me already. He approached me and introduced himself and we started talking about football (soccer). I was hurt once when playing and in class I told her and she told me that her brother plays soccer too. So I guess she told him. I played varsity in HS and apparently he is planning to join his school varsity team. So we talked about it and we both seemed to really enjoy the conversation.
I don't mind the fact that she is Muslim at all. I grew up around Muslims; most of my childhood friends were Muslim as well. So I know some stuff about Islam. And before someone jumps in and say Muslims don't date, and such and such. I know some don't. But some do. I guess all I want to know is if she likes me and she I have a shot. Maybe not now, and I don't mind been with her and following the Islamic rules like no sex, no kissing, and such. I think if I have a shot with her she is worth it (just me though, and what I know about her so far).
Do you think she like me? I just want some thoughts. That will be very appreciated. Thanks!
