I was at my Turkish center for an Eid festival today, and I met a few girls who were in college. (I'm in the 11th grade). One of them really caught my interest.... she was 19, just moved to the United States a week ago, and wanted to be an architect, and loved cleaning..... she was beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous and stunning! She was also very nice and sweet and charming, and she told me it was nice meeting me. But my dad told me she was probably just being nice because she's new here, and warned me not to get in trouble with her or talk to her (but he doesn't live here, so he can't possibly enforce it.) She said shes staying here and she'll come to the Turkish center next time, and I told her I'd see her. I feel like I hit off, but I think she was just being nice.... plus she's 3 years older.... do I have a shot?

Show interest in her life, like her experiences, ,likes and dislikes, hobbies and enjoy being around her and getting to know her.

it's too soon to tell if she likes you. she probably doesn't know you well enough to decide to like you. it's positive that she is going to the center. enz has good advice.

Last I checked you're not me so yes - it's possible. :)

Also, Don't come across as desperate...

Or at least learn from your mistakes for next time...

desperation seems to be a major attraction killer

That would have been more than enough to make me give up. I don’t know your situation, but, if the established habit is for you to tell your parents everything you do—and live a simple and boring enough life so telling them everything you do doesn’t take too long—they’ll be suspicious when there are unexplained gaps in your daily routine. And, if you depend financially on them, even just partly, they can cut off their support for breaking their rules. I felt so completely dependent on them it didn’t even cross my mind to do anything without first making sure they approved of it. Besides, I was in a perpetual debt of time I had to spend with them, going back home, because I studied too much, so doing absolutely anything other than studying and what they told me to do was unthinkable.
