Mixed Signals? Ask her out, or no?

[Bucky Badger]

There is this girl I go to college with who I am very interested in. I am in a fraternity, and I met her this past fall in some Greek activities, and since then, whenever we see each other we always make small talk and she always greets me.

I have a spring formal coming up in 2 days, and a few weeks ago, she told me how her formal went really crappy because her date was making out with another girl the whole time. I decided to ask her to my formal and she said she would love to go. Since then, she has texted me first twice, and we have casual conversations together. Last Saturday, we had a casual dinner together that lasted for over an hour and we just talked. It was great! We have some mutual friends, and she has told them that I am a "super cool guy" and that I am a "really nice guy."

I really like her, but I have a feeling that I am just in the friend zone right now.
She did text me first two times, a while ago, and then I texted her last Monday and she seemed quite distant, not wanting to talk or anything. I texted her last Thursday and she sent like 3 texts back and then suddenly stopped mid-conversation. She seems that she doesn't want to (text/talk) to me anymore. Each time I text her, she seems that she doesn't want to talk to me at all.

However, I texted her a few nights ago wondering if she would like to have another casual dinner on Wednesday, and she texted back right away and was suggesting times that would work for her, and we set it up very easily. We had dinner tonight and it was great. She is excited about formal, and wants to have a blast. Also, while at dinner, her best friend showed up but she neither sat with her or invited her to sit with us, we remained alone.

PLEASE HELP! I really like her but I feel that she doesn't like me back, but I am getting some mixed signals.

THANKS!

I think she really does like you back from the way you made it sound. I think she may have just gotten busy/stressed during that patch when she was asking distant. I say keep going on a few more casual date s to keep testing the water then go ahead and make your move.

He's right
People get in bad moods and decide to say "fuck the world, I'm not talking to anyone." So that could have been the reason. Anyway, Keep going on the "casual" ,as you called them, dinners with her. Then when you are ready ask her.

Honestly speaking, it's college. There's tons of other people and the risk of rejection isn't all that bad because you have loads of other options if worse comes to worse. You can ask her out and still be friends even if she says no, it doesn't have to be awkward.

Go for it dude.

Go for it. I think she likes you bit I think she might be afraid to get things moving. Take the initive and go with it. Just relax, I think in time it will get better. Like like said. It is college. I am in college as well and because I have taken the time and waited I now have a totally awesome boyfriend.

I think if you just take the time and wait it out a little that in time you two will have something. Many girls I have found do not like to he pressured BUT at the same time you need to do something because GIRLS ARE JUST AS CONFUSED AS WE ARE. Take some time bud and see where it goes.

Good luck.
