In this instance, would you say this girl wanted me to "make a move?"

@Texts Said

I know I'm going to sound like I'm attempting to justify my bonehead mistake, but this is a girl who, six months earlier, told her friend she "didn't think of me like that." I had given up on her to be honest.

For the love of God would women just become rational and comprehensible for once?

@NickoBorgir Said

Dude, I totally agree with ya! I'd say yeah she wanted you to make a move, but mate, I'm completely oblivous when it comes to the fairer sex too. Don't stress too much, if it's ment to happen it will. Oh and no need to justify anything either. Just chalk it up to experience bro. You'll get her next time

why didnt u make a move on her

@Texts Said

This post may end up being lengthy, I have a tendency to over-explain things; anyways, there's this girl I've known for close to two years now, we've never been necessarily close, and have only seen each other on a weekly basis for a few hours at a time.

Nevertheless, we became decent friends, and I was immediately attracted to her.

So recently, after not having seen her for about a two month period, she texts me and starts up a conversation. It goes well and eventually she asks if I would like to hang out later that night. I agree and I later take her to an ice cream shop at about 7 p.m.

Just to be the nice guy, I paid for her ice cream despite her objections. This is where things got interesting, once we get our ice cream, she starts taking it around to the back of the store, I ask her jokingly, "haha where are you going?" to which she tells me she was, "Looking for a trashcan."

I found it odd, she's been to that shop many times, and of course the trashcan isn't around the back of the store, so we get back there and I begin telling a story to make her laugh, and start feeling those damned feelings of love/attraction rise up. Suddenly she interrupts my story and looks at the back of the shop to ask, "are there cameras back here?" This blew my mind to be honest, it seemed so out of place, I just sort of stuttered a response of, "uh, I'm not..sure really."

She THEN turns and sees two teenagers about our age hanging out on the playground that was a little farther behind the small shop. After seeing them, she also notices the large tepee that is used for decoration for the playground. Subsequently, she gets kind of excited and suggests we go in.

At this point I'm extremely confused, we go inside, other than prolonged eye contact and the vibe I got from her that she was nervous, I made no move besides being my normal pathetic self.

TL;DR

I'm an idiot?

@Texts Said

That's the worst thing, I've failed twice now in setting up a "next time"

I haven't seen her in two weeks, despite us trying to find a time to hang out.

Feels bad man.

@beatboxer Said

Let her organise the "next time".

@Texts Said

She usually doesn't initiate conversations, through medians such as texting. She doesn't really use the internet for social networking either.

But she always seems happy to talk to me, through the phone or texting. I just can't understand this girl.
