Subject: i like this girl but i just can't...

Question
(18, male)
First off i called this girl about a power outage in my city. she said that she
had no idea what happened. she then asked me if i wanted to hang out with
her. I then said something like sure, how about tomorrow, she then said
something like i dont know, i'll call you. She never called and i called her
once and then waited 3 days then i called her again and asked if she wanted
to hang out. she said sure, what do you want to do. I said doesn't matter to
me, it's up to you. She said it didn't matter to her. I then said i dont know i
called you because i was bored. she said call me when you've thought of
something. and i said already then. And we both laughed and said goodbye
then I got really busy and I had to go up north. I left a message saying
something like I had to go up north, be back tuesday, if you still want to hang
out with me call me tuesday. She never called me then two weeks went by and
the girl called and
said we should hang out. I said I couldn't do anything that day and i said how
about saturday or sunday. She then said, "You call me" I said okay. It's now
going on a week in 2 days since i've talked to her. I'm just really nervous
about if she doesn't like me like i like her, what would we do, that kind of
stuff.

Additional Details
She asked for my phone number on the last day of school, then I asked her
for hers. It took me 8 days to finally call her when i got her cell phone #
We've never hung out before outside of school

I've known her for about 3 years (we never really talked much until this year)
I'm 18, going to be a senior this year.
She also asked me out in 9th and i rejected her because i was nervous to go
out with her. not scared of her just scared of how terrible of a boyfriend i
would've been. When ever i think about calling her i just get really nervous
and procrastinate it. I don't think i'm afraid of the rejection to be honest i
don't know what i'm afraid of.  I just don't understand why she would want to
go out with a guy like me when there are many other better guys she can
choose from.

Answer
Hi David,

You need to be confident about yourself, this girl obviously is interested! Don't be afraid of how terrible a boyfriend you can be if you haven't even become one!

Think of something to do before you call her. If you call without a definite plan or at least a suggestion, girls might think you are just calling them randomly and might not be genuinely interested. Ask her to the movies, or to the park or something where you can do something fun together. Or if you live close by just call her up to go get some ice cream. ANYTHING.

Best wishes,
Estelle.
