Search Results: talking about bands with a girl

Alright, so I go to church with this one girl whom I always noticed that she is quite outgoing, and friendly to anyone she meets. Nobody can say a bad thing about her. She reminds me of my sister and her personality (I have a crush on the girl, not my sister.) I get along almost perfectly with my sister, and so I figure I would want to spend my time with someone who is as fantastic as she is. I chatted with her over facebook messenger for quite a bit for about a month. We go to the same high school as well but I am a senior, and she is a sophomore (I'm 17 and she is 16 both in band class, but she is in the entry band, while I am at the audition group). I never see her during the day. She invited me to join track & field and I did join a bit late. I got to talk with her quite minimally in real life during the track season.

I have a hard time talking with her in real life because it always seems like she is talking with someone else, and I don't want to pry into the conversation. I don't know if this is just coincidence, but she seems to talk with everyone else except for me (almost like intentional avoidance?).

As of late, I have talked with her (very minimal as if it were "micro"-talk) in real life, but here's the thing. I cannot make her laugh for the life of me. One of the biggest things I've got going for me, is that I have no problem being goofy and embarrassing myself for a good laugh. I can make people laugh a lot, but when ever I am around her, there isn't anything that I can do to make her laugh as it seems.

My plan to date her is to wait until she gets out of high school (I am a couple weeks away from graduating) and then see about dating her.

I haven't felt this way for a girl ever, and I do think she is very special (Also I haven't dated before so I wouldn't know how all of this works out anyways). I just would like advice on how to approach this. How can I try to improve my friendship with her?

Thanks for reading this short novel.
