Girl Help. Yeah so its another thread by PI about a girl.

So this girl 2 houses down is about 8 months older than me and in the same grade, which is certainly not too large of an age gap. she's a cheerleader, I'm on the football team (dont think I told anyone about this yet on here, HS Football!!). And I want to ask her out. I'm friends with her brother and hes fine with it, but there are 2 main problems:

She may or may not have a boyfriend, and nobody will be upfront and just tell me. don't know if this is trying to protect me or trying to make it funny when I do ask her out, hope neither.

Don't have any clue how to get closer to her. I go to their house all the time, but I hardly know her. how could I get to know her more so I can ask her out?

This seems odd. I think you should spite your tight-liped friends and ask her anyway. You have taken alot of no's, what is one more? If you never ask her, the answer is no from the beginning to end. If you ask, you might get a yes.

You are in the same school I assume? Do you never pass in the hallway? Share classes? Participate in the same football related events? Study dates? Casual chit-chat by the lockers? If you go to different schools then perhaps you should note the email ask a girl out thread.

edit: Poor PI, so studly yet so seemingly fragile when it comes to aspects of love...I can relate ;)

Patience is a virtue. If you are impatient, ask your buddy to 'arrange' for you and your interest to be in the same room at the same time. Strike up a brief conversation about something you might have in common, football season for example, make a guess if necessary. Where you take the conversation (keep it brief) is up to you. I have always liked the study date route. Some idle (perhaps well placed) chit-chat under the guise of homework and the like. Once, I came to the study date bearing a gift. I brought a container of dried apricots for us to share as we went over schoolwork. She appreciated the gesture and enjoyed the fruit. Hence, we had homework and fruit to ease the tension and allow the conversation to flow more smoothly. Things progressed slowly and conversation was always able to be made and maintained, if the semester hadn't ended, and I graduated, it might have gone somewhere. :)

I don't quite understand what you mean by your post regarding a date, but I will continue with some advice anyway. As far as patience goes, you are going to have to learn it sooner or later, better do it while you are young. If you are saying she is in none of your classes, well, you can study historical topics for seperate history classes if you like. Don't think your lives have to be mirror images of one another for things to go well. You will never find anyone or anything like that. The only thing you will find is dissapointment. Should you ever decide to strike up a conversation, then that perhaps is where you will learn what move to make next. You only need one similarity to move forward, not all of them. Hopefully she is not impatient like you, girls don't like that.
