Does she like me?

[Skuggen]

Hi folks.

So... Yeah..
I have met this lovely girl on a course I'm taking. And I think she maybe likes me, but I have no clue about stuff like this. The thing is I'm 24 years old and have been a loner the last 10 years. I have big trust issues when it comes to people in real life. I have been stabbed in the back by most of my friends, so I decided to move to a new city where I could start over. I don't even trust my own family.
And I have lost my social skills over the years when it comes to people. The only chance I had with a girl was when it was some christmas dance (ball?) in the school. She invited me, but she showed up with someone else..

Now for the very first time in my life I got this feeling that someone is interested in me. She smiles everytime I see her, laughs at my stupid jokes. She even does the same things I do (mimicing me? thats the right word?) I even went on a shopping spree with her for a whole day. (you know... girls and their shopping )

And the best thing is... She likes nerdy things too and the same music as me. Today we sent each other text messages over the phone and she keeps sending me smileys in her texts. But I have really no idea how to approach this situation. I really like her. Can't stop thniking about her.
Does this means she likes me? Is there really an answer to how to spot if a person likes you more than a friend?

(please excuse my bad english grammar )

No sadly there is no definitive way to tell the difference, but she sure does fancy you quite a bit in one way or another and since you two already get along well this should be pretty easy.

Find a cool date to go on and invite her, and don't muck about be clear that it's a date date, and that leg humping is expected.

While you were shopping, did she dress you up in clothes? If so, you're golden.

OT:I'm going to be like everyone else and say go for it, despite me having no experience in this field.
Think of it this way. If you don't do something, some dickwad will.

Go for it. It'll be awkward and terrifying but worth it. Even if she just wants to be friends the more girls you flirt with the better you'll get. The more you socialize the better at it you get. If she likes you enough to go shopping with you which says a lot. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

ok dude, i understand you situation. i need to tell you to ask her out, because theres no real way how to tell a girl likes you. remember this quota "nothing venture nothing gain"

I'm planning to ask her out for a movie or maybe a little picnic trip... I just need to gather up some courage

This is a great place to start. Remember that if she doesn't feel romantically inclined towards you, it looks like your friendship will withstand you asking her out, it might be a tad awkward for a little while but you'll most likely get over it and stay friends.
The other thing I'd like to point out is that the sooner you start interacting on a social level, the better, as it gets harder and harder the longer you leave it. So go for it, you have nothing to lose and the early signs are that she definitely likes you, you'll just have to ask her out to find out exactly how much.

Good luck, let us know how it turns out.

I could be wrong but if you two went on a shopping spree all day, and she didn't already consider that a date, she probably already considers you to be just a friend. Still, the only way you're ever really going to know is to just ask. So get your ass off the computer, go and find her, and ask her right now. Don't start with this whole "I need to wait until I have more courage". Just do it!
