Search Results: dropping hints

There is this girl who I have only met two or three times, I know her father well. I have only met her a few times and each time I have been overcome by shyness and can't talk. I have recently been trying to run into her but always seem to miss her and its getting stupid. I think her father realises I like her but am shy as he keeps dropping hints/making comments and the way he looks at me when I talk to him. I am pretty sure I will get an opportunity to speak with her in a couple of days time as she will be attending an event with her father.

What's the best to confess me feelings to her bearing in mind I am really shy?

Poll Question: Also should I confess it to her off the bat or wait until were comfortable talking?

This happened in the span of two days.

Day 1: I met this girl in my enrollment center. We were both waiting so I started talking about her classes and all. I went really well. I was making her laugh and giving her helpful tips about the school. She said she didn't even have a friend on campus, so I figured we could trade numbers and I could help her get comfortable at the school. She said okay, but then I text her a little while later and it was a fake number. I have no idea what I did wrong there.

Day 2: I had gotten another girl's number and had been talking to her for a day. Things were going really well and we were getting along. We had some common interests and seemed compatible. Then she started dropping hints about her faith. I'm not a believer, but I don't hold it against those who are. Anyway, I politely dodged these hints until she brought it right to the forefront. At this point, I had to respectfully tell her that, while I respect her belief, she had to respect mine as well. We had a short discussion in which she said she hated when guys stopped talking to her because of her faith and I told her I had no intention of doing that -- we'd just have to agree to disagree. Eventually she told me she couldn't see us being friends because of the difference in our beliefs. The hypocrisy!

These are just the experiences I've had over the last two days, but I've had a lifetime of experience tell me girls are absolutely insane. Have I lived a life of misfortune or is this really the way of things?

By rejection, I mean asking a guy out on a date, telling a guy you like him, or trying to kiss him or touch him intimately, and then being rejected. I don’t mean dropping hints and not getting a response, and I don’t mean getting dumped, as those are questions for another day.

By ‘handling it well’, I mean not acting badly towards the rejector, and not letting the rejection affect your life negatively for too long.
