Does she like me?

Hi,
Okay so basically, theres this girl that I like at college. I've liked her for 3(ish) years now, which is obviously a very long time. Thing is I'm absolutely useless at this. Three years and I've still not had a proper conversation with her face to face. I don't even know if she likes me or not! And I mean just as a friend! In all honesty, I'm so god damn frustrated with myself. It seems easy enough to talk to her while I'm sitting here, but as soon as I see her in person I have no idea of what to do! Its like, she'll come into the room, and I end up just sitting there looking awkward.

We talk online whenever she's on, and she's started the conversation a fair few times, but more often than not I have to start it. Also, when we pass in the corridor at college or whatever, she'll sometimes say hi to me, and other times she wont. In all honesty I'm really confused. I mean today she was in the room me and my friends all hang around in, and didn't say a word to me. But she spoke to me online around half an hour ago! I realise that she might not have noticed me every time that she's gone past, but I'm pretty sure she has most of the time. But apparently she can be very shy around people she doesn't know, so I really don't know!

And I'm just so annoyed with myself for being so god damn shy! I mean WHY can't I just talk to her?! I know its stupid, but when I'm around her, I literally CAN'T talk to her!

You can always practice talking to her by standing in front of a mirror. It looks silly, but it just might work. You have to be confident in yourself. If she isn't interested in you, she isn't interested, but at least try and talk to her. If she rejects you, it wouldn't be the end of the world.

Yeah, in all honesty I think I'd prefer rejection to simply not knowing..

Ok well there's only one girl that I have ever liked properly... I've known her for like 2 1/2 years - but I am the same as you in that I didn't really even know her but I've liked her for such a long time.

At first I was trying to be cool, acting all chilled out - inadvertantly isolating her... now I talk more and she knows more about me and I'm more bubbly and smiley and it's generally more attractive.

I just said to myself, if I see her, I'll start talking to her. I know it's easier said than done but you need to force it the first time if you find it hard, and then it's easier next.

This girl recently told me that she loved me.... so it's worked well, because this time last year she thought I was weird because I liked her so much but never talked to her.
Hope I've helped
