Do I have a chance

[CreativeUsername]

First, let me say that I am a normal freshman in high school. I'm smart, but not in a geeky way, I try to be funny, and I try to be nice to everyone I meet.

So here's the situation. On orientation at my new high school, I sat next to this really pretty girl. We talked a little bit, and at the end of the day, we, and a bunch of other people exchanged phone numbers. I'm socially awkward, and get very anxious as well. Because of that, and the fact that I really like this girl, prevented me from even talking to her for two weeks after the first day. I finally did, and it made me like her even more. Along with that, she also introduced to me to a bunch of my current friends. Since I'm socially awkward and get anxiety, I was afraid of telling her how I feel, so I asked some of my friends, they told me just to be straight forward. After that, this asshole that was basically a bully to me in middle school saw me talking to her, and decided to tell her that I liked her, even though he didn't know it. I got all flustered, and she could tell I like her. Anyway, I decided to tell her on the way to the bus stop, because I knew we would be alone. But some other kids came up, and I couldn't do it then. So I decided to do it at the cafe next to the bus stop. I asked her to step away for a second, and told her how I feel. She said "I know" and walked away.

After that, I told my friends what happened. About a week or two later, one of my friends who I told that I like this girl, asked her out and they have started dating. He's a year older than me and is also kinda an asshole. Anyway, I really like this girl, and she knows, but I don't think she knows how much. She's really beautiful, smart and funny. She was also one of the only people who were actually nice to me in the first couple of weeks. I wish there was a way I could tell her, but I don't want to tell her if I don't have a chance. What do you think?

If you are worried about talking to her, write a nice letter and hand it to her, but don't do any of this texting or emailing shit.

I don't think knowing "how much" you like her is going to change anything, honestly. If she knows, then it's pretty much already decided that, for the time being, she doesn't feel attracted to you - further emphasized by the fact that she's dating someone else. I do think a bit of a conversation is in order, though. Just leaving it at "I know" doesn't give you much to go on.

You're friend sounds like a complete jack...
Back to the topic, I agree with Elysium, you need to talk to her and close things off or tie up loose ends.

you have 0% chance of ever getting with her ever sorry

Way to kill his self-esteem.

you have a chance. You just need to communicate with her better. just saying 'i like you' isn't always enough.

I agree with both of these points. Not only is it already evident enough that she doesn't seem to care much about the fact that you like her when she walked away, but she also didn't even bother to talk to you about the subject when someone told her in front of you that you liked her. Not only that but it also goes to show that she doesn't seem to care much about your feelings because she goes to date another guy. I think you need to do a lot more talking to her to get to know her a little better. Because from what I can see here, she either one, wanted you to ask her out so she could answer you and didn't like that you were shy, or two, she has really bad judgement and doesn't seem to fully understand what a relationship is about.

Either of these two are possible for why she could be doing what she is doing, but we won't know that until you talk to her more. I think you do have a chance to be with her, but like other stated, you need to talk to her more, to show that you are a great guy, and to also understand her more and see what type of a person she is and if you like those qualities about her.

There's really no such thing as a 0% chance, quantum mechanics tells us that. So OP, don't get discouraged because of this event. However, I do think you should move on from this girl. It's not easy, but nothing worth doing is easy.

[Elysium]

I should've been clearer: what I meant to say was what KansasNavy said. Talking to her should be more about getting closure than getting a chance. Don't get your hopes up and constantly think, "I still have a chance!" because that'll just hurt you in the long run (and potentially annoy her). Talk to her, get closure, and start moving on.

hate to break it to u , she might not be interested

[Saint of Sinners]

She's dating someone else now, also doesn't seem that interested in you:/

I'm sorry mate, don't think you have too much of a chance. Don't worry too much, it wasn't your fault, she's just not interested.

[Hudor]

I think it would be best if you move on and forget her. As Elysium said knowing the intensity of your liking isn't going to change much. She said she knows and even so if she decides not to pursue a relationship with you but with someone else that's her choice. You can't really help it. Sorry.

[brokeninto2]

You have a chance... but think about it, is she worth it? Like, really? She knew you liked her, and as the people above said the degree of you liking her wouldn't change it, and yet she went on to date someone else, honestly, I don't wanna be mean but anyone in my opinion who were to do that, her and the guy who asked her out, sounds kinda shallow to me, don't let anyone take you for granted. Anyone. And think about why you like her, you said shes beautiful, smart, and funny, but is that all? because there are alot of beautiful, funny, smart people in the world, ones who would treat you better. I know this may not be the answer you wanted but it's probably best to move on. Its best not to try jumping into relationships with people you just met anyways, I know that from experience.. who knows, maybe in a little while she'll come to realize, how great you are, cause like I said you guys barely know each other (at least from what I've read)

I'd move on if I were you. We cant make decisions for you but just think about it, is someone who would do that to you really worth it?

yep this. you can still try, but honestly, it does not sound like she is interested. sorry to say

Thanks everybody. All of you have some good points.

Is it at all possible that she was playing hard to get, and I just missed my opportunity?

I think it's possible she could be playing hard to get, but I don't think you missed your opportunity just yet.
