writes: Hi, I really just wanted some girls opinions...There is a girl who lives fairly near me who knows I like her (sent her a card ages ago), well nothing really happened as she always seemed so shy, I tried approaching her in the street but never got more than a shy "hi". Well the other day, I bumped into her in a shop, we passed and said the usual "hi" and I thought that this would never go anywhere, but then went back up to her and just started talking and suddenly she smiled, the shy look went and she started talking back, lots, asking me about what I did, telling me about herself and we spoke for about 10 minutes. Well then, her parents came up to us and I made an excuse and said "oh I better go then now" but she went onto introduce me to her parents and tell them all about me (what I'd just told her about my job and stuff), then off we went. Well I'm 22 , shes maybe a year younger but shy and close to her parents I think. What I want to know is could she be interested or is she just being polite, or would a girl who wasn't interested not bother to talk and be so friendly. And why was she never chatty before or have I just broke through some kind of shyness barrier? And is there a way of telling if she'd be interested in going out with me or just wants to be friends? Thanks!

I did see her today and I stopped to try and talk to her again, she was very smiley but just dashed off and the convo lasted about 10 seconds! I have no idea why and don't understand it after she was so friendly last time. However I then saw her again, cos I was walking and her and her mum drove past me, and then weirdly enough, they both waved and smiled. But like really big smiles as if we'd been best mates for years! So maybe she is just shy around me or is she just being polite? Or maybe she is more confident with her mum. I personally think she would like to get to know me, or else she would avoid me, and not wave, and definetely her parents wouldn't wave? But how can I make any progress if she;s too shy to talk?

I think she has just been too shy to talk to you before, if you ask me she really likes you but just take it slow try to find out where she goes out to and then turn up accidentally on purpose and see what happens!! Good Luck although to be honest it doesnt seem like you need it!!!

You have a good chance. Sounds like she was just shy, but now that you somewhat made an effort. She'll probably come around, just expect her to still be shy because thats how she is, but keep pushing. GOOD LUCK!

 You should keep talking to her and try to hang out with her often... you can't really tell right now but by the sounds of it.. she has a crush on you... ask her on date or to go out and do something together... just make conversation with her...and be brave and ask her out!! :) good luck!!

 You gave her an opening to show her interest there when you were talking. A very positive sign that she introduced you to her parents. I'd say she is definately interested, was probably just waiting for you to make the first move! Now make the second move and ask her out to somewhere you can talk and get to know each other more. At least you've gone over that first hurdle...it's up to you now...go for it, all the best!!

 I think shes taken a fancy to you! i think the reason behind her shyness before was simply that she didnt see u enough, n possibly thought u were sum kind of stalker! now she seems to hav realised that u live down her street and ur friendly attitude seems to hav worked a treat! she got her parents involved, which is a clear indication that she cud be considering being more than just friends - the fact that shes close to her parents makes no difference...girls onli involve there parents when theres actually a reason for it!!
anyway, hope ive helped answering some of your questions, good luck, and let me know how things develop. Jess x

 well the way i see it is that she probably does like you, and if your letting the thought that she might just want to be friends put you off, then don't, because if you don't a chance on love and you'll never find it, don't forget love was to work both ways, well that's all that i have to say to you about the matter, good luck.
