I've been having some problems with a girl lately. It's been common knowledge for just over a week that she's into me, and I decided that I would go for it. It's been a few days since I started hitting on her and until now it was really obvious that she was into me, but now I've hit a snag. I was talking to her last night over msn and she suddenly sprung up with "OMG I'm so happy!" during the conversation (I actually was passively mentioning the Bay 12 Forums) and I asked why. There was a long-ish (30 seconds) of no reply and I could feel that what she was going to say next would hurt (I'm not inexperienced with this sort of thing). She said that she had been talking to the guy she was liking just said something that made her really happy.
Now you see my problem. Further questioning lead to nothing other that she would never ask him out and that it wasn't him asking her out that made her happy. Specifically, she said that what she has with the guy is really special and she doesn't want to risk losing that by asking him out. Now, it is still possible that she's into me and she is just being cryptic and subtle about it (Which isn't something that I would put past her) after all, I had been talking to her almost all day and I only have one possible clue as to who else she could be into. This person is a rather annoying kid with the same name as me. I think she may possibly be into him and the fact that he has the same first name as me could have cause confusion as to the common knowledge about who she likes.
I'm not normally one to seek relationship advice (I normally just go for it myself and see what happens) but I'm really stumped as to what to do. She said that if I guessed who it was she would tell me, and I'm afraid to say me just in case she says 'no' but may be lying (As I would expect her to do, she's quite bashful) and I'm afraid to say anyone else in case it says that I'm not interested in her (I have a firm belief that if a guy likes a girl it should be obvious, which is what I'm trying to do).
Any advice?[/rerail]
