The girl i like digs one of my friends, well two of them actually, so what do i do for me to get noticed by her? The guys are oblivious sadly.

Asked by invic (110points) January 17th, 2009

the question is basically it. she becomes all lively when either one of them show up but when its just me and her she is all dead with no enthusiasm whatsoever. i try to cheer her up and make her laugh or smile but she gets annoyed and turns away. (the topic cracks me up. “Whats the problem kid?“u say. i say “girls”. u say “damn”

She isn’t going to change her mind. It sucks but it happens to everyone. It is a waste of time to think “maybe if I just do this she will like me”. You can’t make it happen.

Unfortunately i agree with Elijahsuicide (wicked name btw) If she was going to take a shine to you, she would have done already. sorry matey x

No enthusiasm? That’s unfortunate. You may have to cast your nets elsewhere.

If you really want to pursue her, though, the first step is to loosen up and act more natural around her. I find that I become awkward around my crushes. When you feel more comfortable, you may be able to communicate more clearly with her, and maybe she won’t be so glum when you try to cheer her up.

I’m sorry, but I think that your best bet is to set your sights on someone else….

I wouldn’t listen to these nay sayers. I always feel like if there is an opportunity you can either seize it or let it pass. The main thing is had you said something or done something a little differently would you have a different outcome? Maybe your conversations with her are not very engaging or she sees you as trying too hard or other things. Try asking more open ended questions that requires her to do most of the talking (and more about herself) they love that. Like, maybe an opinion question. Make something up like, I know this guy who has a gf and her gf got into his voicemail and there was a message on there from some other girl she accused him of cheating but he said it was just an old friend, i dunno if it was right or wrong of her to do what she did. what do you think? I mean who doesn’t want to give an opinion on a question like that. So you see what I mean, there are lots of ways to be objective and let someone tell you about themsevles without them even knowing it. But if it doesn’t work out dont beat yourself up too much you can’t win em all.

Sounds like she’s only hanging out with you to see your friends. Move on.

Aren’t we a bunch of negative Nancys?

How do you know shes not using your friends to get to you? maybe thats why she is so shy around you. Hm? Don’t let people get you in a negative mind set. She is fair game till she is in a relationship with one of your friends.

@LKidKyle1985: Considering she gets annoyred when he speaks to her and instantly perks up when his friends show up, it seems far more likely she’s using him and not his friends. If she wanted to be with him, she’d be annoyed when his friends showed up and ruined any alone time the two might have, regardless of how shy people are it’s almost universal that you want to not be bothered when you’re near the object of your affections.
