Is she playing hard to get or is she not interested?

She may just be insecure - interested, but insecure.

I remember when I was back in high school and I had a crush on a boy. Once my attraction to him was discovered and he began showing interest in me, I began to get real nervous and feel awkward around him. A lot of it has to do with insecurity and not wanting to have to take the next step. Most girls like to take things slow and maybe your enthusiasm for starting something might be shying her away from you.

I would recommend just playing it cool and let her make the next move. If you find her looking in your direction, smile, but don't run over to her.

Also, and I know that this can be hard because it is high school, try not to get caught up in the little games between boys and girls. She will respect you a lot more if you just be honest about your feelings but not too smothering. Also, other girls will see how you handle this awkwardness. Other guys will envy you if you know how to play it cool but still friendly.

You are young and you have a lot of relationships to look forward to. Just listen to your feelings, observe your's and her actions/responses, and learn from these relationships so that one day you will become a MASTER at being a great boyfriend/husband.

Also, if she becomes mean or snotty towards you, then she is playing games and not worth your time. Make sure you understand what she says and the body language she uses around you to pick up whether she is interested.

Good luck.
