I'm a senior in high school, and there is this girl that I absolutely adore. I met her last year, and we started talking around March-April. She was in my intro to business class, and that was the only time we really had contact with one another. When we saw each other in the halls we never really said hi or anything, but I really didn't care because I didn't really have strong feelings for her at that point. I never thought anything serious would come out of it, and knowing she had a boyfriend, I didn't even bother trying to be anything more than acquaintances.
This year, things have changed a lot between us. She's in two of my classes and we talk a lot more. She now goes out of her way to say hi to me in the halls, even when she's with her boyfriend, whether he's holding her against him or what. She has also been touching me a lot lately. For example, I was standing by my locker talking with my friends the other day and as she was walking by, she patted and rubbed my lower back and kept on her way. Then, just a few days ago, I was walking back into class coming from my locker and she was walking out of the room, and when she passed she gave me a love-tap on my back again.
Also, when I went for my driver's license last month, she was more concerned about it than anyone else. I told her in class that I was getting it the following Tuesday, and when I saw her in the hall that morning she immediately stopped and asked if I got the license, smiling ear-to-ear. My appointment was at 1, so I told her no I'm going for it later and she wished me good luck. Well, I went to get it that day but wasn't allowed to take the test because the vehicle I was using didn't have a handbrake. The next day, she asked me again in the hall if I got it, and I told her the story about the handbrake and said I was going back later that day to get it. I then told her the next day that I got it and she very excitedly congratulated me.
We sit next to each other in English and we also have psychology class together. English is 8th period and psych is 9th. I usually finish up whatever psych homework I have at the beginning of English, and the past few times I've been trying to do it she says, "Oh I have that in my locker. I can go and get it for you." Of course I refused, but she always says, "No no. I don't care," and she gets it for me anyway.
Not only that, but I've caught her staring at me a few times when I get up to throw something away or when I'm getting my teacher to sign my hall pass so I can leave the room.
Today, she was telling me a story about how when she was younger, she got hit in the head with a big piece of wood and had to get staples. She told me she still had the scar, and then asked me if I wanted to feel it. So, she said "Here give me your hand," and she took my hand and put it on the spot in her hair where the scar is. This was the final straw in making me believe that she likes me as more than just a friend now.
I'm not sure how her relationship with her boyfriend is, but I do know that last week they had a big fight and weren't talking for a while. They seem to be okay with each other now, but is it just a coincidence that she has been a lot more "touchy" with me lately?
Any opinions on this? Would she really be making all of this physical contact with me and going out of her way to try and help me if she were happy in her relationship? Should I do something about it? I'm dying to have her; I've never felt this strongly about a girl before.
Please give me some helpful advice here. It would be greatly appreciated.
