Hey all,
I've recently signed up to the forums, so this'll make my first post.
I'd met this girl that lives in my dorm building a while ago, and thought she was pretty cute. Nothing breathtaking, but I figured I'd give it a go.
She'd made most of the initiative, actually suggested and gave me her number before I'd even brought up meeting again. She talks to me online very often, [with her starting the conversation and re-initiating it when I let it simmer down] and generally seems very interested. She's even texted me a couple of times out of the blue.
The thing is - she *never* wants to hang out. I've brought it up several times. I've made sure not to ask her and allow her a chance to shoot me down. I say things along the lines of 'let's meet up for a little bit and get tea,' but even with time constraints and simple suggestions, she's always got some excuse. We'd made plans a few times, but she'll end up calling and saying how she forgot she had to do this, or do that.
I'm not sure what's going on. Is this possibly something she, [and other girls] do, or am I doing something wrong? I'm not sure she's particularly worth all this extra effort, but I'm curious nonetheless.
She's scared.
You need to build trust with her. It may take a while.
Ask her if you can go out with her and her friends. You'll get the added benefit of gaining some social proof.
