| hey alright fellas, i'm new to the forum, but i've been reading it for a while and i must say, there's a lot of good info here. I'm normally reluctant to ask for help, but i'm in an interesting situation... before i begin, i assure you all that i'm approaching many girls and am not experiencing one-itis. you see, i like many of you out there, started reading getting into this 'secret society' because i'd like to get over what i believe was my first love (pair-bond lol)...
on to my question/scenerio: i'm a sophomore in college & we just recently started our spring classes. i'm taking a psych class w/2 of my good female friends... anyway a few days ago i saw a girl that is absolutely adorable (8 to 8.5) & sweet who sits by herself, so the next class period i sit by her. we get to talking, she gets to laughing, &, at first, seems quite receptive. my problem is that she is a freshman from a small town who is very quiet, very shy & very naive. after talking with her i realized (she didn't say this, but you guys know when you can just tell) that she's never even had a boyfriend before. well, today i came in (i'm naturally an upbeat person, by the way) and was like:
"Hey (girl), what's up? How was your weekend?"
Her: "hey, okay i guess.. How are you?"
Me: "Oh, you know, as good the Monday after an awesome weekend can be"
Her: "ha ha ha"
Me: "Actually, something interesting happened to me this weekend (sidenote: this story is surprisingly true), maybe you can help me."
Her: "Oh yeah, what was it?"
Me: "Okay, my two best friends have both been really into the same girl for quite some time now. Well, recently one of them and her have started having a secret 'thing', i guess you could call it. He told me this last night because i'm one of the few people he trusts & didn't know what to do. You know normally, the natural answer would be to tell him to just go for it and the other friend would understand, but like most stories there just had to be a twist, right. haha"
Her: "ha ha Which was...?"
Me: "The girl knows they're both interested in her, but still flirts with them both like crazy..... I have no clue what to do.... What do you think."
Her: "Oh, i don't know either. ha ha ha"
Me: "Woah! You're a girl, you're supposed to be an expert in this sort of thing."
Her: "Sorry." then the lecture began.
(her lack of opinion about my true story was where my assumptions about her relationship past was, where i believe, confirmed)
so yeah, once class started, we had to do an activity involving reaction time (neuroscience crap) which required us to touch the person next to us a lot & she didn't seem wierded out by that either, but other than that her body language wasn't screaming 'interested'.
my question(s) is(are):
1.) do you guys think that this is worth it to pursue this girl given the fact that she's never even been in a relationship before?
2.) if so, how should i go about 'breaking through her shell'?
