Hi everyone, I came across this website because I am really confused in life with this girl I met a for a while already. I'm in the 20-25 range and she is under.
Generally, we met up in university started out helping each other with homework. She often text me when she needed help urgently and every time I see her, I've only spoke about homework and little about each other in life. As for helping her was great to get to know her more but I don't think she ever wonder why I am doing this. I am not sure if she is stressed and very busy about it. Every week most of the time after the course, she took off in hurry to see her girl friends and relatives. Also, she respond quickly when we need to meet up for homework. Other text message I sent about like "how are you?" and etc. usually ignored. I believe the message is lost in between or too busy to answer. She is polite, she always smile at me and she is constantly look at me for 2-3 sec for like about 10-20 times each class even we are sitting side by side looking at a direction that she needs to turn around more than 90 degree to spot me. Without words, sometime with jokes and whisper. Speaking of respect, I respect her a lot (personal space and etc.) and I didn't even lay a finger on her skin yet. I don't like to creep up on people.
Should I keep moving on or wait or say something next time? Speaking about hints like body languages, makeups and etc... well.. every time we see each other, she ends up using makeups and fixing her hairs. I believe that is normal for a girl to do that, like nothing special.
One thing annoys me is that, any form of electronic communication, I never get answer back for days on some specific messages. I want believe electronic communication isn't the truth behind anything.
I haven't told her anything about my feeling, I am forcing myself to wait and wait but at some point it is starting to hurt me more and more. I get too emotional sometime and feel really alone in the world.
I am not sure if I have enough information here to ask if she is pretending and acting.
I can wait but I don't know how long. I am happy to hear some opinion of what do you think and what is going on. I am happy to answer and give more brief details.
Update: I'm not shy, I am being confidence as much as I can. Generally for the past year, I've killed my shyness and fear.
I am more dare to do anything even something stupid and acts funny in public BUT with respects.

Update: At some point, I kept on doubting her that I was about to give up but she came back responding me for sometime about life stuff.
...That may hurt you but I ll tell you what I truly believe...in my opinion she is using you just to get help with her homework stuff...thats my first theory the second one is that she may haven't figured out yet that you like her...i mean do not text her things that most of people text or that are considered as boring like :"so how was your day?" or homework stuff...Invite her for a coffee or in a concert etc...And try to notice things like when she changes something in her appearance make her compliments about it so that she could realise your feelings...And then by her reactions towards you, you ll realise if she actually has feelings for you or not...i hope I helped..
Yes she's just using you to get the homework done. you can do better. don't even try to get her attention- she just isn't you and I can almost guarantee that she sees you as a bit of a pushover/too nice to date. I'm not being mean but I have been in her position-shes just being polite to stay on ur good side but she's taking advantage of your good side. I used to get this guy to help me out wit computers! - 25 days ago

Dose she ever talk about other guys ? because if she dose she proably isn't intrested maybe you should ask her to hang out with you and some buddies so that she doesn't feel she's being asked out on a date and you still get to know her.
i think you should call her and say, hey I'm stressed out/ hey I'm unhappy, find something else to talk about than homework. Otherwise you're just a hw buddy to her.
Since she is in college, and perhaps away from home, do you know for sure that she doesn't have a boyfriend back at home or serving in the military? Maybe she enjoys your company, but she is trying to stay true to someone else. You need to determine whether or not she is emotionally available. She might be able to justify the contact between the two of you in her mind as "it is just homework", and nothing more, so she is not cheating.
And, maybe she is simply hedging her bets. When I went away to school, I kept the fact that I had a boyfriend quiet for a really long time. I wanted to meet new people, to enjoy as friends and maybe someday as professional colleagues. A lot of guys won't talk to you if you have a boyfriend 'cause they figure you are off limits.
I have always been a big believer in looking for someone's motivation - why do they do the things they do? Have you ever told her that you were busy and couldn't get to her right away with her urgent request for help? Think about what her response might be. I hate testing people, but you might have to do that in this case.
Another thought...
You mentioned that she is younger than you, perhaps she has little experience in recognizing the subtle signs of interest from "older" guys. Teenage boys tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves. Big boys tend to play their cards closer to their vests. What kind of signals are you putting out there? Do you mention that she smells nice? Do you notice if her hair is different? What are giving her to work with? I have always found if you are attracted to someone else, they are somewhat attracted to you, too. Think of a way to make her think about you in a different light, and see what develops.
You said that it hurts when she doesn't return your text. I have to tell you that a "how R U?" does rank kind of low on the totem pole. Try "meet me for coffee" or simply ask her to help you with a problem or to answer a question. Ask her to help you pick out a scarf or bracelet for your Mom or sister. Stand out in the crowd and I think you will get noticed. It is worth a shot, right?
It's seem like she's using you, not in the broadest sense, but she definitely is to a certain extent. I mean, most of the time she only talks to you when she needs help on homework but isn't courteous to even respond to a text message not applying to such? It's harsh but she most likely doesn't have feelings for you, when girls like a guy or attracted to him, we find it veryyy hard to not respond as soon as possible to any means of communication he sends our way (email, texting, etc.) Move on and find a girl who respects you, and don't let her take advantage of you now. Show her you have the upper hand ;)
Well, to me, the biggest hint of anything is the part where she ignores any kind of personal questions like "How are you?". And I don't think that's a *boring* question or anything, you don't know that much about her, so I think that's a perfectly reasonable way of saying "What's up" or "Hi"..
On another note, it looks like she is trying to stay as a homework buddy to you, and not much else. I wouldn't go so far as to say she's using you..(if she was.. then she doesn't deserve to be with you in the first place and you'll know she's not the right one for you).
My suggestion is to start being more personal.. be more like a friend rather than a 'hw buddy' and ask if she wants to hang out one of these days or go for a coffee etc. pretty much - persuade her to answer, and you'll know the result. if she keeps ignoring you, then its also a clear sign that she doesn't want to be anybody but a 'hw buddy'. what you do after that is all up to you, but you'll know if she wants to be more than a 'hw buddy' or not.
Me, being a genius. I always helped the pretty girls with homework. Usually they didn't care for me and just wanted the answers. So if she's just asking for answers and isn't making eye contact. Forget about it, you'll never get her. If she is sweet to you and greets you warmly, makes long eye contact (about 5 seconds and up) and wants to touch your hand or something, doesn't just want the answers and actually wants to know how to do something. She might be into you. Ask her out to a movie date as friends. Afterward, at her dorm room, or any door into her living area, hug her and say good night. If she asks again for another movie or something. I'm almost positive she's into you. You gotta be outgoin' my man! (:
Everything is there up to before saying wanting to touch me haha. That never happened. But for long eye contact and warm greeting. Yes those are there. - 28 days ago
I've gotta agree with clovergirl94 and wanacot. She's using you to help her understand her studies. She doesn't hang out with you or answer back when you ask how she is but instantly replies when she needs help.
Now, that sounds harsh but take a step back and look at what you've told us:
1) The only time you see her outside of school is to do homework. 2) Any friendly messages you send her are ignored. 3) She hangs out with friends/family but never you (outside of doing homework).
It's even worse because she doesn't even seem to treat you like a friend where you talk and hang out outside of your school life. All she seems to concern herself with is homework when it comes to you. Therefore, I'd have to say she is just using you.
I thought of that before, but she told me this every time and made herself cleared that she only wants me to explain things. She also told me that she want to do it on her own because she wants to learn it.
So I don't think it is consider I am being used? I never did touch her works but to explain. - A month ago

You don't have to physically do the work for her to be using you. She's using you in the sense that you are taking the time to help her understand and learn this school work and she is giving you nothing in return, not even friendship. - A month ago
