There is a girl at my college I have a massive crush on. She is honestly the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen and she has such a passion for life. She loves reading, drawing, singing, and making beats. We met during a summer course, and I eventually built up the courage to ask for her number so we could exchange notes; she agreed.
From the start, I made it clear that I was interested in her. She used to like my stories and would occasionally send me notes as well. Although I saw her around campus often, I didn't quite have the 'balls' to go up and say hi in person. When I finally told her over text that I wanted to approach her but didn't want it to be awkward, she replied that while it might be a little awkward, it would be totally fine.
Later, I bought her a birthday gift. She seemed genuinely happy at first, and I suggested meeting up on campus so I could give it to her. However, three days later, she texted me saying she couldn't accept a gift unless it was from someone she was very close to (at this point, we had been talking for about three months, though not every day).
After the gift incident, her behavior changed completely. She stopped liking my stories, I could no longer see hers, and her tone became very dry. Eventually, she ghosted me, even after I spent five consecutive days trying to make her laugh (which I actually managed to do).
Recently, I reached out again with a simple 'hi' and sent some notes for an upcoming exam. She replied quickly. I told her again that I wanted to say hi in person but didn't want her to feel awkward, and she said she understood.
I really want to make her attracted to me. I’m 6'5" with a large frame—not exactly muscular, but not 'fat' either. I’m currently working on losing weight and building muscle to try again next semester. Do you think she is worth the effort?"
