First off, just discovered this site..what a brilliant idea!
Hi, my name is Cody. I am a 16 year old male. I need some help with this girl I like. I have a lot of story to tell in this post so I just want to say thanks beforehand to anyone who reads it all and helps me out.
For here, I'll just call the girl I like Alice. Alice is about two and a half years younger than I am. She is also my sister Shelby's best friend. I've always had odd friendships with Shelby's friends to begin with because me and Shelby are so close and good friends. So, I've sort of been inserted into Shelby's group so to say. I'm friends with everyone that she is friends with as if they were friends of my own.
Now, Alice and her friendship with me is different from the rest however. It always has been for various different reasons. Becoming friends with her has taken longer, because she is extremely mature and I think she suspected me to be the average 16 year old "sex" crazed male or something. Either way, we've become the odd sort of friend.
Now, one day while sitting with her and Shelby and another friend it was blurted out by the "other" friend that I had a crush on Alice. However, the reaction was fairly light for what I expected. Alice laughed, and we spend an hour or more just making fun of me for it. A few days later, Shelby managed to convince Alice that it was all just a prank and Alice seemed completely un-phased.
One day about a month ago Shelby fell asleep after Alice came over and me and Alice spent all night watching movies and joking together. It was then that I really started to realize how much I really like her. I had thought she was pretty and such for a while but I started to fall for her personality, her jokes and wit, all that stuff. We were up from 1AM until 8AM together.
A few days later she was back over again and I decided to watch for signs she might like me back. I found that she enjoyed hitting me with random objects, mirroring my actions, and looking at me while she was talking even though she could have been looking at Shelby. However, she talked about different celebreties that she finds attractive and things like that too. So that threw me off.
Then Shelby fell asleep again and we ended up watching Anime shows until 9 in the morning again. The next day we were all drawing and she joking told me to draw her, so I did. She smiled and said "hmm" but looked uninterested.
The next time she came over Shelby fell asleep early, but even after she woke up me and Alice hung out in my office room watching youtube videos while Shelby went upstairs. Later we re-joined Shelby and got to talking about what kind of guys they like and what kind of girls I like. I avoided mentioning mine but Alice kept making the remark that even though she tended to like "emo guys" she felt that maybe "I'm being to picky..." and repeated that line a couple of times.
She came back the very next day and Shelby fell asleep like 5 minutes after she got here. We ended up spending the entire day from 10AM until 7PM alone. I offered to and eventually did make us lunch and we hung out on the couch watching anime again. When a guy in the show tried showing a girl he liked her and she didnt notice she said...
"She is so oblivious!"
I came back with, "They're always oblivious..."
Finally Shelby woke up at 7 or so and we hung out on the couch together. Shelby got a phone call and the guy on the other end asked...
"What are you doing?"
"Hanging out with my brother and a friend.."
"How old are they?"
"16 and 14"
"Is the 14 year old hot?
And Alice yelled, "I'M NOT SINGLE!" and laughed.
Later though she randomly said (while Shelby was out of the room)
"Actually I am single..."
Now here comes some interesting stuff. Shelby randomly got the idea to tell Alice that I had a crush on her again over a text message. At first Alice sent a reply making a joke about it again but later acted a little freaked out about it so Shelby gave in and tried passing it off as a prank again but Alice got a little ticked so Shelby managed to convince her that it was just as a friend and that Alice had taken her text the wrong way. Alice said...
"Oh, I thought you meant he "liked, liked" me, I'm so stupid"
When she finally came back over again, I at first thought she was avoiding me but eventually the three of us got together again and spend most of the next three days hanging out. I again noticed her looking at me when she was talking even though Shelby was right there listening too, and I felt like she smiled at everything I said. She also made some comments worried about how she looked and such...perhaps I should have taken the chance, but I resisted telling her she looked great.
Now that is all that has happened so far. Here are my personal opinions and more about the two of us.
My opinion is that she could like me, but I think just as a friend or more as Shelby's brother who she hangs out with too. I fear that she's just being polite and I'm just over-analyzing what I think are signs she might like me. She seems to be generally un-interested weather she's hanging out with me, me and Shelby, or just Shelby.
About me: I am a pretty quiet guy, and when I talk its usually a joke or something similar. I am good at listening to problems though, but she's never felt close enough to go "there". I'm 6'4'' and I'm fairly over-weight. I'm an old fashioned type and I usually dress in a button up shirt and jeans. I like old music and acoustic sorts.
About Her: She's loud and rather goofy most of the time but is actually very mature when it gets down to it. She is unconventionally pretty I guess, some would like her and some wouldn't. She has acne, but then again, those sorts of imperfections are the sorts of thing that make me like her even more. She's barely 5 feet tall and thin. She wears tight shirts or dresses and always wears jeans or shorts, or pajama pants. She likes hip-hop and emo music. She likes emo guys and such, which is not me.
The three of us will be going to a My Chemical Romance concert later this month, a band they like a lot...I dont. After that she has to go live with her mom about an hour drive away to go back to school...I'm just confused by the whole thing. Could she like me considering I'm not her type and over-weight? Why does she seems so un-interested most of the time but yet there be signs that I'm right? What should I do and how long should I take? How should I do it?
