Good job on waiting. Did you setup a date or did you waste time blabbing about pointless crap

Keep in mind gentlemen our OP is in Nigeria. It’s a much more traditional (read old fashioned) society and far more socially conservative than in Western Europe or the US.

She has reached out and shown you some interest and attention OP. That’s positive. I don’t get the impression she’s an attention w h o r e at all, she’s attractive and has many men who think so. That’s normal. She’s been showing interest in lab and by leaning on his shoulder and taking his hand that she has interest but she’s subtle and young and our OP has missed those signals originally.

That’s Ok. From here simply inquire what classes she is taking at school and keep communication sporadic and focused on school until classes resume. Once classes resume you can observe how she behaves around you.

Be chill and relaxed. Don’t freak out in a good way (exercise restraint) and don’t freak out in a bad way (don’t obsess).

Just chill and see what develops when classes resume.

I couldn't. We live in different states far apart, about two days journey by road.

Besides there's still a partial lockdown but there are signs universities will be reopened soon.

Maybe I did blab about pointless crap, lol but there was nothing else I could do.
I picked her call quite late so she started by asking if I was busy so she would call back.

Then she asked how I was, what I had been up to, she asked about something I told her I was going to do at home, my family, my welfare and somethings along that line

I asked her a few questions too

You guys always have a good futbol team. Always enjoy watching them in international matches.

Cheers

Yeah, I didn't act when all that was happening. I can't believe I didn't.

Thank you for this. Sounds like a good plan and I'll do just this

Ha ha, thanks. I hope we win the World Cup someday. Too bad Argentina has been a problem for us

What's your country

Yeah well Argentina (God love them and all respect to Messi) has been a problem for everyone.

I’m in US and played in both high school & university.

US is still rather frustrating on the pitch so I like various international teams, Nigeria being one.

Best always

I didnt read any of the replies because I didn't want my answer to be influenced by them
1) never TELL a girl you like her. keep her wondering.
2) never let a girl lead. if you let her lead, that makes you look like the woman in the relationship (I believe I saw several examples of this but the one I remember is her asking you to go eat together. why is she leading and not you?)
3) read my signature below and remember it the next time you like a girl
4) dont be so hard on yourself, you're still very very young and will have many many more opportunities

Why are you wasting you time talking to this girl then. Don't waste your time talking to a girl who you cannot see easily on the regular or you are just giving away free attention and more importantly your time.

Cool
You must be good then, why didn't you go pro? At least US has a solid women's team

I am inexperienced and I've really learnt from this forum

1. I now know this. I told her because some friends told me to. They said how would I feel if I later heard she liked me but moved on because I didn't make a move

2. I messed up here too. I was trying to play it too safe but now I know better

3. "I can forgive a guy for being too aggressive, but I can never forgive a guy for being too boring" - some girl on some pick up forum
I don't think I'm boring at all. I'd say I'm quite interesting

4. I won't, thanks!

I'll keep this in mind and never make such mistakes again

She's someone I can see on the regular. We go to the same school for about 8 to 9 months in a year

I haven't been talking to her recently. She called me herself.

here "boring" is not the opposite of "interesting" it's the opposite of "aggressive"
girls want a guy who is aggressive and pushes things forward. when in doubt, be aggressive because a girl can forgive a guy for being too aggressive, but she will not forgive a guy for being too boring.

Oh, I understand now. Thanks

I'm thinking of setting up a video call, what do you think?

I was good, but not THAT good, lol.

I do coach sometimes in the youth leagues here in US. Love teaching the game. Very passionate about it.

You are getting some good advice here. Don’t video call her. Let her miss you a bit...this is where restraint will serve you.

Be the one she is curious about and wondering about...not too accessible. You’ll need to calibrate to your cultural norms but don’t be too eager.

I hope your recent conversation went well.

 

[powersize]

You were her friend and it was cool. But then you caught feelings and she obviously never had feelings for you. There is nothing you can do, other than to learn this lesson and next time, with a different girl, push things towards sex right away, never confess your feelings, you fck and pull back and fck other girls, have several girls that you spin as fck buddies. Girl that sticks around and pursues you can be considered as your girlfriend or even future wife, others are for practise.

Read your girl's actions literally - 'I do not like you sexually and I don't want to fck you.'

Get over this situation in your life as a man, nothing really to get over with, be thankful you asked for advice here and not on femenist and white knight forums, they'd suggest you signing sirenadas and buy gifts and orbit her behind for years while she fcks other men.

Go ahead and read Book of Pook.

Healthy relationships between a man and a woman is when man fcks the woman, and the woman pursues the man because she knows he is the one.
Unhealthy is what you had, friendship, you like her, you confess, she says no we are friends, etc..

In your current situation, friendship is over, don't hang around a girl that befriended you. All her girlfriends would look at you as not a sexual, asexless material and a nice guy. Run!

Damn man, thanks for the link

Oh, that's still cool.

I won't call her. Thank you so much for all the advice.

Yep, it did

 

[Dam44]

UPDATE

She texted me like an hour ago on WhatsApp. She just said 'Hey'. The last time we talked was when she called me 13 days ago. I haven't spoken to her since then or interacted with her on social media either.

The thing is schools are yet to resume, we can't see for now. So our texting would probably just be hellos and all unless I carry the conversation

But still I want to reply her, I don't want her to think I'm no longer interested in her.

Also after today's convo, I continue to stay away from e-interaction right?

What do you think?
