Okay, first off, I'm a senior in high school and have never had a girlfriend in my 17 years of life. I always liked a girl who didn't like me, or had a girl that liked me that I didn't like at all. Well, for the first time, a girl (who is a junior) has started to like me that I actually would date! Here's the story as of now...
At first, we sat at different tables to be with our friends. Some of her group of friends got out of the elective to be in a different class, so she ended up sitting at the same table with me and my 2 other friends. I never talked to her (even though she sat right across from me), because I never knew what to say to her. Now that I think about, I kinda ignored her as well and talked to my other friends. After about 3 awkward weeks, a random kid in class noticed that she was wearing a halo 3 shirt. This sparked my interest, so I said "Oh, you play video games?" She replied "Yes" and we proceeded to talk about games for the rest of that hour. After this, she continued to start random conversations with me in class and I have gotten to know her pretty well.
Up until 2 weeks ago, I have started to notice how she reacts towards me. here's a quick list:
1. I'm the only person she has conversations with in class now. She briefly talks to her friends and focuses here attention towards me.
2. Sometimes when I look away from her, I can see her staring at me a few times.
3. She likes to move next to me when I move spots.
4. She used to walk to class with her friends, but now she walks to class and from class with me. She likes to get really close and sometimes bumps into me.
Noticing these signs, I asked for her number, which she gave to me with no questions asked. Now that I have all this in my favor, how do I gradually progress into eventually dating her? I really don't want to rush into things!
Seriously, what are the chances of meeting a girl who likes anime/manga, video games, underground rap and is an atheist? Can't let this one pass me by!
