So I’m a shy 25 y o who hasn’t been on many dates before. Now, there’s this girl who lives several houses down from me. I’d see her jogging around the neighborhood when I take walks with my mom. There were a few instances where she may have tried to get my attention, but I didn’t initially recognize it and didn’t act upon any of her “gestures”. A few examples:
[b]1.) [/b]Once while jogging, she sees me, we lock eyes, she immediately changes course to run on the same street we were walking towards.
[b]2.)[/b] Drove by my house once, we both lock eyes again. She stared at me while curiously biting her fingernail.
[b]3.)[/b] She walks by my house a week or so later with her earphones on, but doesn’t look at me. Once again, I didn’t respond.
Now a month or so later, we still have not talked, and I no longer see her jogging around the neighborhood. I do see her drive around, but she never looks at me while doing so, almost as if she’s purposely trying not to. I know she doesn’t have a boyfriend, considering she’s home almost all day. A friend of mine suggested that it’s never too late, that I should go up to her house and ask for something to “break the ice”. But just the thought of approaching her front door gives me uncontrollable anxiety.
So my question is, what’s going on here? Were those legitimate signs of interest? Do I still have a chance? I should add that I’ll be studying abroad in September and won’t be back until the winter holidays, so I’d like to get to know her and maybe take her out on a date or two before then. So what should I do? Thanks
