Could she be my Girlfriend?

Post Reply New Topic

So I met a girl a few weeks ago and I keep meeting her. So far I like her but how can I tell if she likes me? Also another question She gets called George by her friends. Is there a polite way to ask why she has such a strange nickname? I'm worried I may insult her which tends to happen a lot but it's something I don't want to do.

Thanks.

maybe she could be your bf =p

These questions never cease to surprise me.

How are we meant to know if someone likes you, unless we ask them? We don't know *you*, don't know *her*, and certainly don't know what she is thinking. She could be displaying a behaviour that is totally contradictory to how she feels. Especially if she is NT.

No, she's a girl and I'm heterosexual so I wouldn't have a boyfriend, I'd have a girlfriend.

I'm sorry if my question is annoying but I don't want to look stupid.

George isn't an overly odd nickname for a girl (see the famous five books). You could ask her 'What's the story behind your nickname?'. I think that's a fairly neutral way to ask.

As for knowing if she likes you, search me, I didn't know my current partner liked me until we were kissing, and by all accounts they were very obvious about their interest.

I didn't say it was annoying. Just that it is impossible to answer. If she thinks you are stupid, then it could potentially be her loss, because you sound like a nice guy.

I'm with you FalsettoTesia, I never know if anyone likes me either, unless they write it down in words and show it to me, or show me, by engaging with me in motor sports, etc.

I guess kissing and cuddling seem to mean nothing anymore, I'm confused now

There's a weird behaviour I've observed at teenage parties, people will kiss and cuddle people they do not know, and who the may not like. It's very strange. But, I think they're not teenagers and not drunk, it means they like you.

The most confusing 'life lesson' I learnt was they even if they like you, they may not want to date you. o.O

I find it all very confusing also....A sign saying ask me out would be helpful. I also find it hard that conventionally the man is expected to make the first move. I wish I could read body language....It might give me a clue.

Have you tried reading books on the subject of body language?

Yes, I learnt the "theory" behind it but when it comes to a "practical" application it just doesn't work the pictures/stances in the book don't seem to match anything in real life.

Then once you've known her a month say, I really like you, but I find it hard to tell if people like me back, do you?

The most important thing is though to respect the answer that she gives. If she says no, sorry, but we can still be friends, don't think 'oh she means later', just be her friend.

If she does want to be your girlfriend, congratulations, but if not, then it wouldn't work out anyway. Remember 51% of the worlds population are women, there's always more. One of them will be one who wants to date you.

Just say, "Tell me about your nickname. Sounds like a interesting story."

Thank you, that's helpful, also do you know any good ways of getting to know people better as this is what I'd like to do before I even began to get some courage to ask her out

Thank you. I was looking at one of your posts about your girlfriend with aspergers. As someone who is neurotypical did you know that she liked you or did she tell you that she did. I'm asking because if you didn't know that she liked you there is a chance the girl I like doesn't know I like her due to poor body language etc. I hope that made sense
