So, I've liked this girl for about a month, and she shows some classic signs of interest ie:laughing at my jokes when they're not that funny, maintained eye contact during conversation (except for when she's working on a drawing, then she will glance back at the paper every so often). We hung out on orchestra tour, including sitting together at the Blue Man Group concert and walking together at the mall during some free time. She's a very "Hands off" person and doesn't like a lot of physical contact, however she lets me have extreemly casual touches. (like light touches on the shoulder, walking close enough together that we occasionally bump shoulders) and is not afraid to touch me (She's a bit strange and one day put a piece of tape in my hair for no particular reason). She also has made a few comments about my appearence. One conversation we had went like this :
Her: "You're hair is longer then usual" (said with a smile)
Me: "Yeah, people keep on telling me I need a hair cut"
Her: "Don't be silly, I like it long"
She has also asked me why I ride the School bus instead of the city bus route which get me home at about the same time and suggested that I ride the city bus more often (which is what she takes home).
We share quite a few interests and tend to talk about these often:
Drawing
Origami
Music (We even enjoy the same styles of music. On tour we spend time on the bus listening to each others ipods together)
Musicals/plays: We are both novice actors at our school. I lean more to the musical side and she leans towards plays but we enjoy watching and performing in both.
Books
We had exchanged numbers at some point last year but do not often call/text. (She is forgetful and sometimes, very rarely, calls me about assignments. Although it could be an excuse to talk to me)
Her actions (and some words) would indicate she likes me/ is interested in me.
So, I invited her to get ice cream with me last Thursday. She wasn't able to go then (she has uptight parents) and was dissappointed, so I suggested that we go next week. The plan right now is for us to go on Friday (assuming she is able to go). We grabbed DQ while at the mall on Tuesday after an orchestra festival, but that wasn't my "treating" her to ice cream. And hung out for an hour or so (similar to like on tour)
However, today during Chemistry, a friend of mine mentioned how she liked a guy and the girl I like said "Me Too! But he doesn't go to school here so you don't know him." (Ouch ><) This caught me off guard and it took me about a minute or two to recover, but afterward I was flirting like usual (and she continued to act the same as normal as well).
So the question here is, do I continue to flirt with and spend time with said girl, going on dates/outings when possible (I haven't used the word date with her but you might consider the ice cream invite as a date. In a few months "Les Miserables" will be playing at a local theater and I was thinking of inviting her to go with me.) OR do I assume I'm in the friend zone and move on? (I've known said girl for over a year, but was not interested in her until recently and we only hang out occasionally back then) OR is there something else I need to be doing?
I figure that I've only been interested for a month and the she is interested enough to spend time with me but might not "like" me yet. I'd like your opinions on this. Thanks for the help!
