Put it this way: you can't take love too seriously. It'll drive you insane. You have to learn to laugh at the absurdity of life, and there are few things more absurd than a guy in love with a girl. Actually it's best we don't call it love -- that's an over-used word. Let's just say, it can be pretty absurd just to be attracted to a girl.
Don't believe the myth that there is only one girl for you. That's romantic nonsense. You'll end up picking one, but I'm getting the sense you have way too much invested in this one -- like if you fail with her, it's the end of the world. Or that you'll somehow look more lame than the next guy. Let me give you a clue -- all those other guys are just as terrified and clueless as you, more or less. They just won't admit it. They may be better bullshitters than you, but trust me, at this age they are not sophisticated lovers.
I can't give you a formula because every girl is different. You just have to try and be willing to fail. If you fail, you can try with someone else. You'll develop a sense, after awhile, of how to read the tea leaves. Sort of. It's an art more than a science. You'll make mistakes -- just like all of us. It'll be okay. Honest.
If she isn't friendly, it's not a valid judgment on you ... it's just that it doesn't happen to be mutual.
Hope this helps, and good luck. If you feel like it, tell us how you're doing.
