shoot her.

I dont think you've fully grasped the concept of this conversation yet
The more people you shoot, the less you will have to worry about social interaction.

Ok, I asked a friend of hers yesterday. She said that she had the giggles.(a term used in America as well?) it took her a long time for her to reply though, not long until I am away from any computer so I not have another chance until the return of school next week. Thanks for you help guys

Rather than having them directly force you to mine adamantine, I would suggest that they give you strange moods that require adamantine. "Dig out the adamantine or Urist here goes insane and dies" is suitably vicious.

(It occurs to me that you can probably get "Lovecraft" as the random name of your fortress. That's when you know you're screwed.)

I'm no rocket surgeon, but 'the giggles' is not an actual disease.

Yeah.  I'd take the long response time as "manufacturing a response that does not incriminate Girl X, but also does not look too ridiculous."

Basically, you've got just as little information as you did before, other than the fact that you know Girl X wants to hide her reasoning (Or at least Friend of Girl X thinks she does).

It's only present in girls 16 years old or younger.

Don't assume anything.  Maybe she was distracted.  Keep all options open.

The most important thing:  This will almost certainly not be the person you marry.  I know, because I see the threads of time.

I and my grade level are 14-15. I've yet to see people quarantined for Giggleitus, and there are no gasmasked doctors ruining punchlines or banning comedy. I do believe that they have some obscure/stupid reason to be laughing at you, and are just too polite/malicius to point it out.

It's not a viral disease, it's a hormonal/psychological condition, but it is still highly contagious. You're more likely to see people running around with tazers and orange vests that say "FUN POLICE."

Although I admit that I have been known to giggle like a 13 year old girl at times.

"The Giggles" is an english colloquial name for when a person is laughing uncontrollably. It usually manifests in girls.

Also, I have nothing else to add. Relationships escape me.

She doesn't like you. She's probably laughing at you. Be a man and handle it and while you're at it, examine yourself to make sure you aren't actually worth laughing at. If you are, then fix it. You'll eventually get some ass.

She probably isn't into you, but she could be. Only way to know for sure is to go and ask her. Being direct tells her you're self-confident, and women love self-confidence.

Chances are high that you'll end up hurt and embarrassed. But this is normal, and happens to most men most of the time. If you never take chances, you'll never succeed, and you *will* succeed eventually if you keep trying (not with the same girl, mind you). So start early and build up some mental armour that'll help you handle rejection throughout your life. When you end up with an awesome girlfriend, you'll realize all those rejections you had to go through to get there were worth it.

^Ditto.

You'll at the very least get a good reputation with the rest of the ladies for being to the point, sincere, and honest.

And a good reputation is the key.

Now, you can take my advice with a grain of salt, but I say play dumb.  If she laughs again, just chuckle and ask what's so funny.  Don't imply that you think she likes her.

1) Don't listen to people who tell you not to take yourself and your romantic concerns seriously at your age. You will never love again like you love when you're a teenager, and you are going to spend most of your twenties trying to recapture those emotions.

2) At some point in his life, the earlier the better, a man needs to just ask a woman out and be rejected. The reason being that everyone has to see for himself that it actually isn't that painful an experience. What's painful is being in your situation, where you don't know what's going on and are forced to agonize over it. Asking girls out can be difficult for a lot of guys, but it's a liberating experience, regardless of what they say.
