I don't come on here much anymore and when I do it always seems to be for advice about one thing or another, invariably involving a girl. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing but whatever, any advice will be appreciated. This is pretty long but it's only 5 minutes of your time.

So, I finished this course a couple of weeks ago, for 4 weeks, first day in I end up sitting next to the fittest girl there, get talking to her and it turns out me and her are the only ones from Bury, so I get the tram home with her and then to the course 3 days a week (she was somewhere else for 2). I liked her from day one and she was giving me these looks and sending txts and whatnot, I do a radio show on Mondays and she was listening to that (no one listens).

This gets to a point where my tutor asks me if we're already going out as he says she proper panders to me and stuff, never spoke up once in any group sessions until I was leading the session, even this woman who ran the course and we hardly ever spoke to noticed and game me an elbow and wink about "making friends on the course".

I didn't say anything because for the sake of the length of the course it wasn't worth risking it being awkward, so the last day comes and we have to give this presentation, I was bricking it beyond belief and our presentation proper tanked but everyone said I was the most at ease of everyone on the course in front of these people (we pitched an advertising idea to global execs from Unilever). So after there was a party in some bar and she just sat with me for like 6 hours, not gettin drunk and I wouldn't say talking to me and no one else because that's not true. I asked her if she wanted to do something the next week and she was like ok, if it's summat good, so I was happy with that.

Then when we went home I sent her a txt saying I proper liked her, I know this was a ridiculously immature, naive and gutless approach but I only did it safe in the knowledge that when my phone beeped it would say "you too". It didn't. It said "wow wasn't expecting that, thanks", it was a little politer than that and some x's and whatnot but whatever, wasn't what I wanted or expected. The next mistake I made was not laughing it off, pretending it was no big deal and just sorting out where to go, I started askin if it was a bad thing and did she mind, all sorts of pathetic stuff. She said no she didnt mind and we could still go out.

SO, fast forward a week or so, hardly any word from her, the occasional txt but goes quiet when I actually ask to do something, but then when eveyone on the course talks, she's back to regular chatty self with me. I ran into her in town the other day as well, she'd finished work early otherwise it would have proper looked like I was stalking her, was a bit of a non event really, just went in a shop for 10 minutes and then went home.

Anyway, I know this is all proper long and I didn't mean it to be but what I wanna know is what to do? There is a party next week and everyone from the course is going so I'll defo see her again, and given its in manchester I'm guessing we'll go together, I mean if we don't then it'll definitely be off the cards all together but I really really like her, this sounds like a cliche but if I had written down everything I wanted in a girl, looks and personality wise, she would tick about 90% of the boxes, and the othe 10% would be the ignoring me part.

3 weeks ago I had people coming up to me for no reason telling me she was proper into me, now I have no idea and I don't know what to do, any advice?

Wow that's long, thanks for reading if you did.
 
Tell her to go out for a drink with you [i.e. "let's go out for a drink" rather than "would you like to go out for a drink"]. Then talk, have a fun evening and expect nothing at the end. Do this a couple of times and you're in, maybe literally.

I sent her a txt saying "do you want to go to the Christmas Markets on your day off?" and got no reply

Maybe she thought you were gay? :p

na definitely not

ASK HER OUT, properly.

Rather than - "I like you"

I agree with the sentiment but it feels a bit late now, I'm sort of waiting in ridiculous vain for her to get in touch with me.

Txt messages are the worst invention known to man, society dictates now that even if I shun convention and just ring her I'll look like a right weirdo. And what makes that worse is that I'll feel like a proper weirdo ringing her.
 
Make a move on her at the party.

well that's the idea that I have sort of festering in the back of my mind but I dont think I've done that for about 8 years and I'm far too cynical and self concious to convince myself I can.

This is an utter disaster.

Who here thinks I have no chance?
 
When did you send it?

last Thursday I think.

One more thing that just makes this worse is my phone has been playing up, a few weeks ago I txt my sister to see where she was and she said she'd txted me, I thought she was just tryin it on (she's 14) so had an argument about it and even after she showed me the sent message in her phone I wasn't convinced.

Then my phone proper broke so I bought a 13 quid one from o2 and the same thing happened, my sister said she'd txted and I hadn't got it. And other people that I txt have been sayin they got like 6 of my txt or something.

So theres a remote possibility that she may have txt me, but it's not likely given I get them all right until the one after I ask her out, and plus I can't ask her if she's been txting me as my phone is broken because if she hasn't then I'll look proper desperate. I slipped it in on the radio the other day and also said it when I ran into her, don't think it was too subtle though.
 
If there is anything i learnt from chasing tail is that there is no damage control. If she is as hot as you say then she must have had it (literally) a few times in her past. I had the same at Uni and i should have moved on but let it linger like malaria for 2 years, a complete waste.Forget it and move on.

In the army they have people who dwell on the past and those how move on. The ones who dwell have major problems in the future because of dwelling too much on what happened.
 
You need more self-belief. From what you say you can make this work. Be more proactive and more natural. If she's silent, ask again in a few days.

you think? I'm very aware of becoming ridiculously pestering.

I've done that before, I know I'm not doing it now because after she ignored me asking her out, I didnt say anything to her until running into her, then I gave her these handwarmer things I had on me (regretted that at the bus stop 20 minutes later) and she txt me about that and the radio was that night so we spoke about that a little but I haven't sent her anything since.

Everyone on that course is in a thread on Facebook so she pipes up in there from time to time but other than that, nothing.

I'm going against every one of my instincts because I always do stuff like ask her whats wrong and whether they want me to leave them alone and stuff, I'm trying to remember a time when its worked.
 
Sounds like she doesn't know what she wants. Try chatting up another girl on the course when she can see you. You might just make her realise what she wants :)
