does she like me?
i have liked this girl for a verrrry long time. i aske dher out last january but she said know but wnated to be friends. since she rejected me we have gone to dinner, movies, ballgames, and even a picnic alone. the thing is she never calls me to hang out i always have to call her. i think she just likes thew attention i give her. like she wont call me but when we do hang out shell give me tight hugs and likes it when i kiss her on the cheek. im confused because she does these things but doenrt call me and sometimes bails on me. i need to kow if i should pursue her as a lover.
sorry i dont think she likes you. she is just using you to boost her confidence and make it seem like she has lots of guys under her wing. maybe she is trying to make another guy jealous. :-/ anywayz i could be wrong so gl.
i feel like there is a developing interest happening on her part. in my opinion. you could try talking about romantic relationships in general and see if the conversation goes anywhere. you could also try getting closer to her, maybe flirt a tiny bit and see where she's at. sorry if this doesn't help :( First, it's not true that the guy will automatically pursue.  
  
Second, it's okay for girls to ask, but the vast majority won't.  
  
If you want to ask him, that's fine. But you don't have to.  
  
It seems to me that when a girl says she wants a guy, what she really means is that she wants him to ask her out. If he doesn't, there's no way the fact that she wants him will make her do the asking. She'd rather sit there unasked, getting more and more frustrated until eventually she convinces herself that he doesn't like her, and she should move on. i agree with your friends. you obviously like each other because he claimed to be willing to make the long drive to see you, he willingly met your parents to good effect, and he responds well when you call him. however, we cannot know what he is thinking until he makes some positive overtures in your favor without prodding. he probably has only the vaguest ideas what to do with himself regarding the relationship with you, so maybe you should give him time to clear his head. you must give him space for a few days to a week, maybe, before calling him again. he could be concerned about a long-distance affair, he could be overwhelmed by pressures of daily life, or just grappling with his shyness (since, you say, he's not been in a relationship before). if you get a weak or no response after about a week, call him and ask him directly how he feels about your mutual arrangement. once you allow him to make the moves himself it will all turn out well. he could be thinking the same thing, "obviously you don't miss me if she hasn't contacted me." i say , try. if his response isn't what you wanted then at least you know you tried. I prefer to ask girls out.  
  
In my opinion it feels worse rejecting girls then it does being rejected by them.  
  
Everytime I've rejected a girl I've felt horrible for ages afterward, especially because I know girls don't normally ask guys out so they're probably not as use too rejection A. It is not uncommon for people to have had a few intimate relationships by their late 20s. My guess is that you being a virgin and her having had experience in relationships is at the root of your concern. It is hard to imagine something we have not experienced.

That having been said it is important to note that at this stage of life it is unlikely that you will meet anyone that has not had a past romantic relationship. I would focus on the here and now you have with her. Here is what you have said:

1. She has stopped contact with others. This is a very good sign of her intention and commitment.
2. She has described her relationships in a way that makes sense – meaning that she was not in love and maintained them because she wanted options.
3. Her relationship with you has changed her thoughts and feelings about herself and what she wants.

Taken together this would seem to be a good indication of her commitment and willingness to be a partner with you. Your relationship is new, and this will mean that as you grow together these concerns are likely to take a back seat. Meditation may be an excellent way for you to modulate your feelings and angst about the situation. Over time her commitment to you will dispel these concerns.

Wishing you patience and peace,

Issue with Girlfriend’s Past you don't text someone everyday unless you're like bffl. :p if you were asking her out on a date, then say yes you were asking her out on a date. then maybe she'll give you an answer.she's a single mom right? yeah, you bet she's busy... how old are her children? it would be hard for her to go on a date with you depending on how young they are and if she has someone to look after them while she's gone. talk to her about it but not in a pressuring way. tell her you want to be with her but you understand and respect her decision. just give her the opportunity to change her mind, but if it's still a no, then just respect that and let it be. you aren't obligated to like or dislike anything. i suggest you figure out whether or not you like it, and tell her how you feel. either way, there's nothing weird about it you get her alone, tell her you're interested in her and have always been, and that you would like to date her.stop wasting time. our lives are finite.
