So, junior year has finally crept up on me, inhibiting my summer in the process. And, to be honest, it's great. My classes are easier than I expected, I like my teachers and it's just the dream schedule.

Now, I'm very social, I talk to everyone, and I'm usually the guy to get people to laugh, or think about what I've said. I tend to answer a lot of questions in class and get the teachers loosened up and super chill for the day. (I'm trying to be neutral here without bragging... sorry :/)

I sit alone at lunch most days, either drawing/reading/playing my guitar or the off day I have a conversation with a friend of mine. To this point, I'd consider myself a person without a best friend, I just don't have the person that I hang out with often, or any time spent with.. My social life ends at school, and I just roll on home and hang out until the next school day waiting for something to happen. (I never leave my house, and I never really have gotten into any circle of friends...Boredom is endless at some points)

(By the way: Never had a sip of alcohol, a puff of smoke, or taken any pills. I've also never kissed a girl, or had a girlfriend.. not even close. Mostly out of hesitation, apathy, and circular reasoning that sufficed for my discomfort.)

Ok, apologies for the intro, I had to put myself in context so this would make some sort of sense.

In one of my classes, there's a girl I'm interested in. She's very pretty, and it's comfortable talking to her. She doesn't have a vibe that's off putting, really. There's a calmness about her and the way she talks, it's very refreshing. We're like-minded when it comes to music, movies, art, etc. And I've decided I want to get out more, and stop trying to apply logic and reason to situations that don't call for it, this being one.

This is the only time I can be a teenager, and I want to try to have something to reminisce about, something to smile about when I'm older. So, I'm trying to get myself involved with this girl, and it doesn't matter how. Whether it be friends, or more than that.

In the few times I have talked to her, they we're good chats in our class together. I keep myself from making stupid jokes, or using any of the douchebag methods the other dudes use. I just talked to her and kept eye contact. (She seemed to fidget a lot and not keep eye contact as easy..I wonder why?)

So my question is, what would you do, or what would you suggest I do? I'm not sure what to do or where to go from here.

I'm sorry for the long read, I just kinda need to progress, and this is the best way I thought I could. Thanks!

Dakota.

I got her number the first day I met her. I called her but it went to the answering machine, so I dunno.

Cell, and she doesn't receive texts. Only calls.

Smoke and drink and party and get to know that girl and ask people to come hang out with you.
Do whatever you want man!

That's just not my thing, really.

I've never got into any of that shit, by choice really. I just don't care to jump into it.

That's why I called her, to hang out. But she didn't answer. I'll just ask in class.

I don't think she has skype, and she's not really a huge computer person.

If doing what you want is something you can't get into, you have a serious problem on your hands. I thought you were complaining about all of those things... and none of them are really a big deal, if you want things different, make them different.

Oh, not that.

I felt you were hinting at me partying, drinking and smoking. (You were just making a statement, I get it now :P)

I was just saying I don't get into those things.

I do what I want, I'm just sometimes limited by circular reasoning and arbitrary limits I put on myself, unfortunately.

Thank you, I appreciate it

We actually met through a club at school. I was in there and it was a discussion topic, and I'm good at articulating my points without sounding like an idiot, and her and her friend added me the day after they heard me in the club.

So, I think that attracted her somewhat.

I agree.
