PLEASE help me out here! What is going on?

[classicphil23]

There is this girl that I like a lot. We are friends right now, but things are awkward. I think it's because I like her. It seems like she is afraid to talk to me or something. I don't know... it's really weird. I just want to forget about her and move on. Sometimes I think she likes me and sometimes I think she doesn't. I'm tired of thinking about it all the time. Everyday I am wondering what's going to happen between us and I'm getting sick of it. How can I forget about her? I want to remain friends, but I don't know how to do this. I also want to get rid of the awkwardness between us. It's like she has her guard up when I'm around. I think she is afraid to be herself around me. Is that because she doesn't want to hurt me? I don't know if she knows that I like her... Would you act like that around a guy you liked? It's like she is scared to talk to me. I don't know why, all I have been is nice to her. She will talk to someone else with no problem, but when she turns to me to say something, it's like she is scared or intimidated. I don't think I'm bothering her because she asked me to sit by her in class. I don't know... Help!!

If she didn't like me, wouldn't she just stop texting me and everything? She will still text me every couple of days. She mostly asks about school, but still! If she knows I like her and she doesn't like me, she wouldn't keep contacting me right?

We are both 20 by the way.

Thanks!!!

Let me get this straight, you like her but you want to forget about her yet you are always wondering what's going to happen between you however you'd rather just remain friends???!

Just ask her, never be afraid to tell someone how you really feel. Who knows, maybe she feels the same way.

So does she know you like her? if so, she probably would feel awkward around you. It doesn't mean she doesn't like u or anything, I mean it could, but most of the times girls are just too shy to show their affection, or they're just playing hard to get.
You said that you're really nice to her? The problem might be that you're too nice, and you're scaring her away. Girls like nice guys, but if a guy is too nice, then it gets creepy. You can try teasing her a little, make some harmless jokes about her, and it really will make things less awkward between you guys.
About the texting thing, i guess she sees you as a good friend and doesn't want to ruin your friendship?

Well, I'm a nice person and I've never had this before but maybe I have been too nice. It's no big deal to me. I told her I was sorry when her dog died, I tell her to have a good weekend occasionally. Just being friendly I thought. I am really not the flirty type. I am bad at it so I don't really try. I don't know how she could know that I like her in "that way". I don't know, I'm gonna ask her tomorrow if she can help me on some homework. If she will, and it is still awkward, I'm gonna say something. Do you think I should?

At this point, it would be great if she like me back. But if she doesn't, I really don't care. I just want to have her as a friend because she is a really awesome person. Any more advice? How do I bring it up without it being to weird?

In my opinion, it's not such a good idea to say something to a girl when things are kinda awkward. I think the best thing to do now is treat her like a normal friend and see if the awkwardness goes away.
And it's totally okay to share your feelings with her as long as you can establish a comfortable atmosphere between the 2 of you, so it's probably not a good idea to say something to her if things are awkward.
Hopefully this helps
