Hey Reddit,
I’ve never posted here before, so I apologize for any spelling or grammatical mistakes (I am spell-checking). I want to share some context about a girl I really like. I can’t stop thinking about her. I’ve known her for a while, and recently, she was feeling stressed. Later that day, I texted her to check in, and we ended up talking.
While I was on the phone with a friend who was giving me advice, I asked her if she wanted to go to a dance. The next day, she replied, “I don’t think I want to.” When I saw her the following day, we were playfully bantering back and forth. She suddenly told me she was about 98% sure that I like her, and she had been thinking about that for a while. My asking her to the dance was, of course, a clear indication of my feelings. However, she never really answered whether she liked me back. I didn’t ask her directly, and after her comment, she didn’t say anything further.
The past two weeks have been pretty stressful for both of us, so I understand that asking her to the dance might not have been the best idea considering the timing. I later learned from a mutual friend—who was the same one I was on the phone with—that she doesn’t really enjoy going to dances. He also mentioned that he got the vibe that she might like me, but he suggested I wait for a better time when things are less stressful.
I’m here to get some opinions on what I should do next, just to make sure I don’t impulsively make the wrong choice.
