How Can I Repair My Relationship with a Girl I Like and Get Closer Naturally?
At my school, there is a girl I am a little interested in. In this text, I will call her “the girl.”
We have some classes together, such as PE, English, and Music. We are not together all day, but I see her sometimes during classes and when moving around school.
I am not very close with her yet. However, we have talked a few times before. Sometimes I started the conversation, and sometimes she talked to me first. So, she is not a complete stranger to me. She is more like someone who is in the same classes as me and someone I have talked to a little.
There are a few reasons why I am interested in her. For example, we often make eye contact. Sometimes, after we make eye contact, she quickly looks away. Also, during class or when walking around school, she is sometimes near me. When I talked to her before, she seemed a little nervous. There is also a rumor that she might like me.
However, I do not think I should decide that she likes me just because of these things. Maybe it is only a coincidence. Maybe she is just being friendly. So, instead of trying to make the relationship romantic too quickly, I want to first build a relationship where we can talk naturally.
Before, I may have acted in a way that looked a little rude. When she was talking with her friends or when she was near me, I became nervous and acted unnaturally. For example, I tried to walk in front of her, or I tried to pass her many times. My facial expression may also have looked cold or angry. Also, I am not very good at sports, so I am worried that I may have disappointed her.
I did not dislike her. However, from her point of view, she may have felt that I was avoiding her, angry at her, or being rude to her. Because of this, I am worried that she may have started to keep more distance from me than before.
I do not want to suddenly make the relationship romantic. First, I want her to feel comfortable and safe around me. I want her to think, “It is okay to talk to him,” “He is not scary,” and “He is someone I can talk to normally.”
My problem is that I do not know how to naturally repair the relationship after I may have acted rude or strange before. I also want to know how I can slowly become liked again in a natural way. I am also not sure how to express my feelings naturally, or how I should act during this process.
I would like advice about how to communicate with her and how to behave around her in a natural and respectful way.
Thank you.
