Well, I've known the girl for awhile. I went to elementary school with her. That was awhile back though, so the last I saw her was when we were about 10-11, so its been around 5-6 years since I've seen her irl. I got bored on facebook one night and asked people to call or get together and do something. Her and a friend call and I sit on the phone for an awkward two hour conversation (lets call this day 1). The next night, this happens again (day 2). Finally, I tell myself Im not going to be so awkward tonight, and she doesn't call again. The night before (day 2) so told me her and her friend were going to the movies or the mall (they were going to decide) and asked me to come along to the movies with them. Well, my kind-of friend ended up saying something about going to the mall with a group of us (he so kindly told her I would be delighted if she came, when I said nothing of the sort. His excuse was he didnt want it to be a bunch of guys) well, our mall plans fell apart, and the next day I decide to ask her on facebook about it. She thought that since I was going to the mall I wasn't interested in coming anymore, so she didnt say anything. Well, the past 2 months or so I've just been trying to insert my self in her daily life with random things like a stupid text that I wouldnt have sent if I wasnt trying to talk to her ( a group text so that if she says anything about it to her friends about it being weird they can say they got it to) or commenting on her post on facebook. The latter seems to get more responses, but I feel really stupid with that being my primary connection to her. What this all boils down to is, how should I go about trying to get to know her better. I dont want to just randomly start budging in as that would make me feel awkward and creepy to just start randomly sending a bunch of text (or calls, but I think that would be even weirder to just randomly call her when she hardly knows me. Just thought if I could talk to her a bit with a text, one of those random dumb ones might lead into a conversation, and from there I would have more to talk to her about) so what should I do? I know I'm pretty terrible at this but I'm not sure how to start this at all. Im 16 and I've never really had a gf of any kind (unlike most of the guys I know who just go with some random girl just long enough to get a little and then it falls to shambles. I want more than that) partly because of what I just said, I actually want it to last some time and really like her. From that you might say "well you hardly know her, how would you really like her?" Well, from the little we've talked I enjoyed it and she seems really nice so I thought it would be nice to get to know her, and from there I can decide if I actually like her like that, just as a friend, or if I don't at all. Thanks for reading my ramblings, I know it's kind of a wall, and I probably sound stupid, and this is probably hard to follow but I just hope someone can give me some advice on where I should start

I don't see why sending a text would be so awkward? It doesn't have to be about anything important, it could be a quick simple "Hey how's it going?", or "How was your Christmas"? Start from there, get to know her a little better. Then, if you feel comfortable, invite her to go see a movie or something simple. It doesn't have to be just you two, you could have a few of yours or her friends tag along.

agreed. don't make it like it's an awkward thing, she'll get that vibe and you'll be fucked. text her like once a week, and as it gets more comfortable, increase the frequency.
