Its kind of a long story, but I'll tell it the simplest, and best way possible. There is this girl in my school (she is a Junior in HS) whom I met a couple of months ago in Mock Trial. I started talking to her over Facebook and at team practices at first, and then we started texting after she gave me her number. About 2 months after originally meeting, I asked her to Prom, and she said "Yes." I also later found out that she had been planning on going to Prom with me weeks before I had asked her. (I forgot to mention, I am a Senior in HS) At practices, she would talk to me all the time, and she seemed like she got a little "silly" whenever I was around. She seemed more giggly and would laugh at nearly everything I said, even if it wasn't that funny. Mock Trial ended 2 months ago, and since then, we don't really see each other that much in person at school. Out of school though, she would text me all the time. She would text me, guaranteed, everyday and she would ask me how my day was, how school was, etc. These texting conversations would last hours, and would end when either of us would say "goodnight" to the other one. Through these messages, she would mention some things I have told her, i.e. my favorite video game, etc. and she would tell me that she was eating at McDonals, and had "been thinking of" me while there, stuff like that. I had a feeling that she was interested in me, given these different signs. I had a mutual friend ask her if she had any feelings for me, and she said she did not want a relationship right now, since she has a lot going on. I then went and talked to her myself and she gave me the same answer, and said she just wants to be friends. The thing is, I really like her, and she knows that I like her, but she doesn't seem like she wants to go out right now. I also thought that she wouldn't text me or act like that around me if she didn't have "more than friends" feelings for me, so that was kind of disappointing:(. She is part of a very strict and religious family and I think that has something to do with her decision. I am not looking for a temporary or petty relationship, and my feelings for her run much deeper than skin level. I am not looking for sex or anything like that, I just have a strong emotional tie with her and I would like to see where it could go. She really does mean a lot to me, and I would hope she could say the same. I need some help as to what to do with this situation! How to approach it, how, if I could, to get her to like me as more than a friend . . . THANKS!

We have Prom coming up this weekend and we are going together, and I was wondering if this could help change her mind maybe . . . ?

THANKS for the help!! :)
