The good news is that there are some very positive signs. So, basically, you are asking how do you bring this friendship up to the next level, right?\n\nAs a rule, girls will give a man three chances "to be a man." She's texting you, she was disappointed when you did not show at the pub (that was you first chance), and then you cooked her a meal and watched TV together (your second chance). The texting speaks for itself. She is not going to be texting a guy in whom she has no interest. As to being stood up at the pub, you have to understand how girls think. She most likely thinks you were with another girl. In a way, that's good. You want her to believe that you are a man in demand, that other girls want you.\n\nThe meal and TV the other night was a nice score for you, but you missed a chance to kick up the relationship a notch. You still have a nother chance. This is what I recommend. Tell her you have a new DVD (something that you know in advance she is interested in: music, comedy, whatever). Invite her over to watch the DVD. She probably say yes. DON'T COOK. She already knows you can cook. You want to focus your attention on HER, not on cooking. Got it? DON'T ORDER OUT. Again, the food is going to be a distraction. Nothing kills a mood more that having garlic and onion on your breath. I recommend simple mild cheese and crackers, possibly a little bit of cut fruit and vegetables. She'll like your good sense and healthy eating habits. Here is the kicker. DO have a good bottle of wine. Turn the lights down, and have some candles ready to be lit. Girls love it. It is slightly cliche, but the girls love it. Now remember, when she arrives, do keep the lights turned on. She might freak out when she arrives and she enters a dark apartment. I also strongly urge you to have fresh cut flowers in a vase on the table. \n\nLight the candles when you sit down to watch the DVD. Sit close to her, and put your are around her. If she likes you, she will not be repulsed. Play it by ear. She might respond by putting her hand on you leg, or touching your arm. When she does that, give her a light kiss on the cheek, neck, or lips. That will send shivers down her spine.\n\nWhen it comes time for her to leave (assuming that you decide not to go "all the way" although that is a distinct possibility), be sure to give her a strong hug, and a passionate kiss. Take two or three flowers from the vase, and give it to her. Make sure that you make arrangements for your next date. Remember, you are a man in high demand. Don't make a date for the next evening. Give her at least four or five days to stew, preferably a week. Also, don't call her or text her during that week. Trust me on this one. Remember... you are a man in high demand. (There is a reason why I am repeating this.) Girls have a strange ego. They only want a man that they believe other girls want.

unfortunitly you may need to go in for surgury, I recomend you get a sweet coco coating to desguise your otherwise lame apperince, then when you find the girl you want you can convince her to like you back by explaining that you nuts for her, or to make it easier just put some diced almends on you back and say that you just added some "nuts for you" then when the kids come out as Taffy, with luck they will be better flavers

I have to agree good friendship evolves when there is a lot of communication. Maybe you or her don't know how to carry on a long conversation. Maybe you can talk about other things than just yourselves and jump to other things going on. Keep title after title. And make it humorous so it can be funny and serious at the same time. Also ask her about anything new she's heard or seen. Make compliments about certain things and certain things that don't sound right explain to her that it's unexpected and when she asks why explain because of the type of person she seems but that should be the time to make it into a compliment and make it interesting. But it has to be face to face. Ask her if she would like to go somewhere for a meal where you can enjoy a conversation. I think through that you can land a good friendship. Hope I was helpful.

I think you're trying too hard.  If she is your friend that you like let her get to know the real you.  I doubt that you fly your biplane everywhere you go.  Something more romantic an that will get her attention is something simple like a pinic and prepare a nice lunch, feed her chocolate strawberries with champange  and watch the sunset.  You dont want to overdo it, because she'll see right through your act.

Sweetie, just be his friend. If you get a chance to get him alone, talk to him and just let him know that you like him as a friend but you usually don't talk to him around his friends because you know that they will make fun of you. You can't make someone like you so if you offer him friendship and he rejects it, then he's just a shallow jerk and who the hell needs him anyway? Hold your head up high and be proud. Don't let them make you feel less than you are. I can tell that you have a good heart and you're a very sweet girl, so if they don't like you, you know we do! I think you're very special and sometimes people in this world just don't know what to do with a good, genuine heart like yours. If they don't, then they deserve your friendship in the first place. It may not be much, but you do have us and we'll be your friend. The people on YA are good, caring people who don't give a damn what you look like. And don't say that you're unattractive. Email me and I'll give you a few tips to improve your appearance if you're really that concerned about it. Just realize that true beauty comes from within and from what I can tell, you are a true beauty. I've seen your answers and questions and your a sweet soul with a beautiful heart, so the one's that don't think so can just piss off! God bless.

Dont hold your farts in for no one Mister, not gonna break a pipe just because.  If she really likes you she will accept you the way you are, beside there are dates that we have in which we feel we have known the person all our lives, besides if she saids anything ask her...Dont you fart, I bet you take a sh*t too.

Firstly, you can't MAKE a girl interested in you. Gage her behaviour, don't come on to strongly or not strongly enough and don't settle into friendship with her. Talk with, be funny and interesting. If you become involved in a serious friendship with her, she won't want a romantic relationship with her. A casual friendship is best, but make your intentions known or she will probably mistake you for a platonic friend.\n\nIf she actually does not like you, there is no chance of changing her mind and any attempt at doing so will make her hate you even more. Real life isn't like romantic movies.\n\nHope this helps

maybe she just likes you coz of who you are and how you treat her. you should know that in life there's no one better than you, ur just different.\nif she likes you, then she saw something in you that she longed for which the jocks and athletes dont have.\nmaybe you know how to speak to her heart and u are a peerson that can be trusted.dont put yourself off ur equally smart and fun to be with thats why she's going out with u.\nhow do you fel when you are with her? can you talk about anything and can she be herself when she is with u and the same for u when ur with her?\nif she finds you attractive,then there's something in you that makes her want to go out with u.she trusts u with her heart and herself and she knows that u dnt expect alot from her.you are different from other guys so dont blow your chance with her& dont ask her why she's with you ask her when your r/ship has grown into something more than just occasional dates then you'll know why it was worthwhile and why she chose you.when u go out dnt try to impress her maybe your cool ways is what drew her to u play your cards right and she'll wanna hang out with u more often

ok one, movies, not a good place. you dont even get to know her that well then. Go to a resturaunt. Much better. NOW, best thing to do is have the guts, because girls really do respect guys that are WILLING and CONFIDENT in their selves. BUT, where there is a will there is a way. Go to one of your buddies, and if he is friends with her have him go up to her and say "hey, i think my friend here likes you, but im not sure, would you want me to hook you up with em?" somthing like that, that way he isnt saying you DO like her. but he isnt asking FOR you. he is just helping HER out kuz he wants to be "matchmaker" ect. so you are excluded from the shame of rejection. but having the guts is recomended. somtimes you just have to take risks for love. good luck dude.

I just answered another of your questions and I think I can relate to you and your problem.\n\nThe best piece of advice I can give you is: DO NOT HAVE INFLATED EXPECTATIONS CONCERNING THIS GIRL.\n\nHaving high, unrealistic expectations concerning anything will lead to consistent disappointment. Aim high, but keep your feet on the ground.\n\nAs I can tell, you barely know her. You like her and feel attracted to her, but you probably don't have a lot of very important information that is the foundation a good relationship is built upon (shared values, similar interests, etc.)\n\nI made that mistake a couple times and it leads only to wasting an enormous amount of mental energy.\n\nTake it easy and try to spend more time with her. Try to share an interest and try to nurture your friendship. There's no harm in telling a friend that you enjoy their company, is there? \n\nTake it step by step.\n\nMaybe you'll realize you're better off just as friends and you can enjoy a valuable friendship.\n\nIf you feel like things are clicking, then I would suggest speaking openly with your FRIEND and telling her that you have feelings to want to be more than friends.\n\nI just think that you are getting much too far ahead of yourself in this and you should take a more systemic approach.\n\nGood luck.

Ok well I can definatly relate to you,  a shy, not the best looking person on the block, but interesting person in a not really talkative type way.  So I am NOT going to tell you to go for it right away.  I would say that you should probably start off real slow and not profess your love quite yet.  Well she's your friend right? So ask her if she would like to come over your house and watch a movie.  While you are watching, you could scoot a little closer to her but not say anything, or when you pass over popcorn or whatever you could let your hand brush across hers, and if she flinches when you touch her hand or moves farther away from you when you scoot nearer, then those are obvious signs that she is not into you.  Also, ask her other friends things about her like her favorite movie (for the occasion obviously) or her favorite foods and stuff like that.  If some of her other friends know that you like her, they could possibly help move your love along.  Also, like other people said in their answers before me, you should definatly become more confedent in youself. Girls like that in a guy, we don't like whiny guys who feel sorry for themselves. We want a guy that could beat some guy up if he molests us or somthing!!! hehe I'm not saying that you have to become Mr. Cool, just stop saying things like "i am rejected and disregarded by all". Because I am pretty sure thats not gonna work....Well thats all I have to say, I hope you take my advice. And if you don't....welll then...don't :) \n\ngood luck young grasshopper

Firstly, it'd be a good idea if you stopped calling women "chicks", it's not flattering.\n\nSecondly - how long have you been friends? If its a long time, chances are all she wants is friendship or she'd have let you know otherwise somehow. If it's only recently, maybe she's waiting for you to make the move. Just be honest, tell her you feel more for her than just friendship. If she says no, shrug it off and hang on to your friendship. If she says yes, lucky you!

First you have to know her but make sure you don't become her "friend", get the point?  \n\nIf she thinks of you as just a "friend", it's game over....\nthere are plenty of tips around the internet\n\nbut one of the most common is to be funny\nyou don't necessarily have to be nice and don't be rude\nbe intriguing.

YOUR OBJECTIVE:  talk to her, and talk to her A LOT!!!!!!   Ask lots of questions and seem very interested in her (when you ask her "100 questions" or personal questions, do this when others arent around - that way she'll be comfortable and relaxed with you - and closer).   When you talk to her, smile a lot and laugh and flirt (if flirting were rated on a scale of 1 to 5, with 3 being 'moderate,' i'd say flirt on level 4, but 5 seems 'desperate') with her a lot.  Be the nicest, funnest guy in the world when you talk to her and SMILE!!!!!   If she flirts back and sticks around, then she's interested - if that happens, then become her friend - start by saying 'hey, it seems like we have a lot of fun when we're together - do you think maybe you'd want to hangout sometime, or are you usually too busy?"  (Give her an alternative; that way there is not awkward rejection)  If she agrees, or more hopefully, is totally happy you asked her, then when you hangout, flirt like a 5, joke, laugh, smile, and be the funnest person around - if she digs you, then your 'hanging out' will last the rest of the day and into the night.  On your second 'hanging out,' it will seem more like a date, and naturally, you two will start moving closer without actually saying so.  At one point, if she says "i like you," quickly say "i like you too," while giving a big smile.  At the VERY next opportunity you get to put your arm around her or hug her or hold her, DO IT!!!!!  If she told you she likes you, even if just a friend, she will NOT reject an arm around her, hugging, or holding.  From this point forward, NEVER say "so when do you want to "hangout next," instead say "do you want to go out ___day night?"  or "next time we go out,"  or "let's go out on saturday."

If you are already connected to the girl (ie, talk, go out in groups, hang out sometimes alone, etc) this one line usually worked for me:\n\n"Ya know, we've been friends for some time now, and I feel I like you on a whole new level.."\n\n(By the way. I'm marrying that girl)\n\nIf you don't know her, flatter her and say daring things to her. Don't try to work up a *friends* relationship and then work it out from there... she'll feel decieved, as if many things you said before were planned out.
