Ok let me start off by saying I'm in high school(senior) and I've been really good friends with this girl for over two years, but never really started to have feelings for her until this year. We always flirt with each other(touching, playful wrestling, bumping each other in the hallway, putting my arm around her but I wasn't sure if she saw me as a friend or something more. I didn't make a move because I didn't want things to get awkward between us, so I kept putting it off without escalating further. Well after waiting a while she got snatched up by another guy, and that was when I realized I was an idiot for waiting so long. Thing is though, the flirting didn't stop, she continued to flirt even though she had a boyfriend but eventually it simmered down because her boyfriend has jealousy issues and hates my guts. To wrap things up, her boyfriend saw us walking together a few days ago, ignored her, and then later broke up with her that day. She has told me that he's had massive jealousy issues particularly about me, and I guess he let them get the better of him. Question is, how do I finally make a move to see how she really feels about me, and should i even make a move at all? I already wasted one opportunity and I don't want to waste it again, but i don't want to make a fool out of myself. I have less than a month of high school left and I don't want to keep wondering about what could have been. What is the best way to handle this situation without making things awkward? I'm not sure if she only sees me as a friend or if she actually likes me, but I'm tired of wondering and want to at least take a chance or find a way to stop having feelings for her. It's hard for me to continue just being a "friend" when i like her. Sorry for the long post but I really need everyone's opinion right now. Any advice on what to do??
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Good friend broke up with her boyfriend, how to make a move?
