Does She Like Me?

I normally don't ask for advice on the internet, but I REALLY need help on this one. I've never been more unsure about what to do. Let me explain my situation first:

My name is James; this is no secret. I like a girl- we'll call her Kristen for the sake of privacy. A few things to know to make the question work. One, Although not on the internet, I am supposedly "hilarious" in real life around my friends. Two, I'm not the most attractive person in the world, but I like to think I have a generally good personality and am like a three and a half on the scale. Three, it's quite possible I have been friend-zoned; if this is the case, it had to have been recently.

Okay, here goes.

Me and Kristen have known each other for six months now. What started out as a simple "hello" blossomed into a very interesting relationship. About five months ago, me and Kristen were placed into the same gym class. I was bored, recognized she was in my math, had talked to her four or five times (little conversations like "how are you" and her being put in my math group) and decided that she was better than no one to talk to. After three weeks of talking, we could say that we were decent friends. Not long after that, we began talking more and more. After about a month and a half, she says I'm in her close group of friends.

Everytime we talk, it's always something funny/flirty from me, and someing generally flirty back from her. We begin to talk all the time: in math, in gym, in the halls, at lunch, at the lockers, everywhere. After about two months, she considers me one of her "best friends" and wants to hang sometime (for the record, it's not a very serious best friend thing, but if you were to ask her, she would definetly consider saying me).

Not to long ago, she began to date someone. Not to make things worse, but he's one of my best friends; yikes!

Kristen has a friend- we'll call her Jenna. Jenna has a friend too, but we'll call her Autumn.

I've been talking with Jenna for a while now. I met Kristen and Jenna about the same time, but I kept up with Jenna, and we're great friends now. I also hang out with Autumn quite a bit, since she lives near me, and she hangs with Jenna everyday. We were talking one day and the subject of your crush comes up. They could tell that I liked Kristen (I though it was pretty obvious myself...) and said that they think she likes me back, but that she [Kristen] was unsure of the situation. This obviously got me very excited, but that's beside the point.

After a long talk with her relatives, she got her texting somewhat back. She can't text everyone all the time, but she decided I was worthy enough to text (awesome!). She told me that she wants to hang out with me in a few months all the time. So...

Things have been progrossivly moving along, but I'm unsure of everything. What happens if they break-up? Is it okay for me to make a move? Does she like me? Is Jenna a reputable source?

Thanks in Advance tempers- I really need your help on this one.

There is absolutely no way any of us can legitimately predict what the feelings of this person in your life is. Not only do you have a substantial superset in knowledge of your situation, but the only information available to us is run through the prism of your viewpoint (full of potential bias).

The advice I will offer is two-fold.

This is high school. Most of the relationships you create will not persist more than a few years after graduation. Take advantage of it as an opportunity to develop and experiment through social interactions with others. Consequences are minimal.

The second-fold (and point) of my advice is this: do what you want to do. If you feel that a romantic relationship would be more fulfilling than the not-so-romantic one you're currently in, then go for it. The worst-case scenario is only that you will lose her as a friend (and maybe her closer friends in addition), and while that may suck for a while, you will make more friends. Pursuing this "friend-zoned" relationship will only serve detrimental purpose if you spend the entire time yearning for something more.

Don't spend high school afraid to take risks due to the possibility that they may invoke negative social responses.
 
You definitely HAVE to let this girl know how you feel.Even tough shes (hypothetically ) not interested in you right now she could be in the future. I mean even if she say no it does not mean she won't say yes later on.

Also keep away from the friend-zone. If she does get another guy just don't hangout with her. It will bring nothing to you but frustration.
 
I agree with what Urza and Magsor have said before.

And good luck. I know, it's hard to ask people what they think of you, but go for it! It's a lot better and less-stressing to know what people think of you than if you don't know for sure and keep thinking about hypothetical reasons behind their actions.
Trust me, I know everyting of that ^_^"

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ its a single player game
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
