Ok, wait a minute. Let me get this straight:
1. She began speaking to you (saying "hi") out of the blue when you thought she hated you, and you neglected to respond.
2. She complimented you and offered you a gift, but you declined.
3. She began to pay attention to you and offer subtle hints that she could've been interested in you by complaining that you didn't say "hi" to her enough. In return, you would say lude things about her behind her back, yet right in front of her friends.
4. You were invited to join the "dance thing" with her but you declined.
5. You were indirectly invited to her house but you declined that, as well.
6. She allegedly cheered for you in gym class, but you neglected to find out if there was any truth to it. Instead, since the source wasn't trust-worthy, you took the low road and just discarded the cheering and neglected to find out any truth behind it.
7. She showed concern for your injured elbow and complimented your hair, giving you suggestions on how to wear it better. You finally acknowledged this and flipped your hair.
8. She asks you to carry her books and you agree to do it. Meanwhile, you believe she's doing this to get another guy jealous. As a result, the guy starts busting your balls and acts like a hypocrite. He snatches the books out of your hands and you did nothing about it.
Now you want to know if she likes you?!?
Listen buddy, I'm going to try and give you advice but I'm warning you now... it may seem more like tough love.
First of all, your game is absolutely atrocious. I can think of about 90 ways that you could've found out all of your answers before things went this far. Looking at my bullet-points above, it appears that you had
SIX opportunities to increase your personal stock to her and to segway into a conversation to try and find out her true feelings for you. This shows me that you are possibly extremely shy, you lack self-confidence, or you just lack the knowledge of how to step it up with a girl.
Secondly, as it has been said before, you should NEVER EVER EVER EVER decline a gift from a woman. Especially if your excuse is sheer laziness to carry the gift around with you. You not only insulted her by your declination, but your reasoning for it was a slap in the face.
Next, if a woman complements you, you accept the compliment. Whether you believe it to be true or not, whether you feel its genuine or not, or even if you aren't attracted to the girl that's paying you the compliment,
always smile and say "thank you." It always pays to be courteous when a woman is courteous to you. Especially when you didn't provoke her courtesy and it's coming out of the kindness of her heart.
Furthermore, don't be afraid to ask a girl about the real-deal. If you want to know if a girl likes you and if you feel close enough to her to ask, tell her you'd like to speak to her about something, pull her to the side (preferably after school) and ask her if she meant what she said. If she says yes, then say something like "Well what are we waiting for... let's hang out sometime." Try to read her reaction. She'll either say something in return like, "Ok, where and when?" or she'll decline nicely by saying, "Oh, stop... I didn't mean it like that. <smile>" Then you'll know for sure and you'll look confident in the process just by asking. And most importantly,
don't do this through MySpace, Facebook, or by any other electronics means!! Grow a set of balls and ask her
in person. Women like confidence. FACT.
In addition, if you're not sure if she's trying to get someone else jealous by paying attention to you, then ask yourself a few questions: Are you the type of person that she can flirt with that will actually
make the other party jealous? If so, then don't you think you have just as good of a shot with her as the pther person? Just because the other guy might be better looking doesn't mean that she'd automatically choose him over you. If she's interested in you, she's interested in you. Build on it before it's too late. It has now become your job to steal her away from him instead of vice-versa.
Lastly, if that douchebag punks you out again you should call him out on his bullshit. You don't need to fight him, but if he snatches the books from you again you should say something like, "No problem. After all, it's natural for you to feel jealous." He'll probably try to frantically defend himself afterwards and make himself look like an idiot in the process. Just let him dig his own hole and no matter how much he makes fun of you just keep smiling, don't say anything, and walk away.
So, in conclusion and to sum everything up, the most important thing for you to do is relax, grow a set of balls, and start respecting yourself enough to make this happen for you. If you want her you have to go get her. She's made enough effort to step in your direction. Now you need to be a man and lead her the rest of the way.
