This is the post that grabbed my attention, and I thank you for taking the time out of your day to write that. She hasn't experienced heartbreak before and she wasn't crying to me over a guy, more like family problems. I do see her on the regular but I am not entirely sure if she likes me as you said? What should I do? What do I text her, say to her, how do I act? I'm seeing her tonight as well so anything will help..
If she's never experienced heartbreak, has she ever been in a serious relationship then? That could also explain the symptoms.
You want to make yourself to come off as an interesting guy because you want her to be curious about you. You gotta be playful. What I mean by this is sarcastic humor(not too sarcastic, just playful humor). You don't want to say jokes if you really trying to be funny. It's better to say a really poor/bad joke really badly, as this is more humorous.
If this girl is sad a lot like you said. You want her to smile. If you make her laugh and happy when she is sad. Her brain will begin to associate you with happiness in general. You will be on her mind more.
Like I said, eye contact. Make eye contact when you talk to her as much as possible. If she is shy enough, she may look away when you do. It's good if she does, just don't shy away yourself. When you talk to her, check if she blushes, as this can be a pretty big indicator of her feelings. Don't talk about/bring up her personal life, let her bring it up. Don't try to be playful when it's a serious moment. Make her smile after, as that's when it is the best time.
I don't know how far you guys have gone. But if everything I said above is happening. And you guys are sitting close together. Play with her hand. EDIT: Don't hold it at all. Play with it. Like remark how much bigger your hand is than hers. You just wanna touch, skin to skin, as much as possible. As funny as that sounds. Just playing with her fingers. Now, if she is touching your hand back. It is okay to close your hand around hers and wrap your fingers together. Don't hold it too long as you guys aren't dating. After a few seconds, let go. And go on to other things because you don't want to make the situation awkward. It will be 'cute' in a sense.
Smile a lot, smile when you look at her, make it look like you are having a good time.
Now for texting. I know it's really difficult to do, but try to limit your texting with her as this will show desperation. Don't ever text her again if she stopped replying. There is a reason she stopped replying. Let her deal with that first then come back to you. Also, do you really want to be a texting type of lover? No, you want to hear her voice as much as possible, and see her as much as possible. Make excuses to call instead of text, if needed. When you do text, however, be really careful, if she doesn't know your personality by now, it may be hard for her to tell what you actually mean. When you text, talk about your childhood back when you were cute and adorable (yes i'm straight and i said that). This will make her feel like she has known you since you were little. It will make your relation more special. You want her to read your texts and smile upon reading it. Be funny. I don't know you well so if you want help with humor just ask. But you do know her better than anyone else here, so you should be the only one to know what makes her laugh. Not me, not anyone else.
Make it feel natural most of all when doing what I said. You don't have to do everything today. Do one more thing at a time. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Make it feel natural.
If some of this doesn't happen, it doesn't mean she doesn't like you.
Now i'm going to tell you the shit we don't want to happen. We don't want her to push away( in a sense) or move away when you get near her. Probably won't happen. If she talks about a guy she is interested in. You're screwed. That's all I can think about going wrong.
Be the man, and be confident. Goodluck tonight. Ask me/pm me if you want to give me more info/ want a better explanation.
Some of what I said might be off. Cause again i'm speaking very general off of what you have told me. Either she likes you and she is shy, or she doesn't like you. Part of what drives a man insane like what you're experiencing right now is simply the curiosity. The mystery of not knowing.
