Dear At the Fence:

 

I need your opinion. I've liked a girl for 5 months now. We're both in the same grade and are 15 and we're in some of the same classes. In October or so she got a boyfriend, it discouraged me, but then they broke up and now we seem to be good friends. I really like her, but I can't tell whether she likes me. We walked to school and home the majority of days, and we hang out with each other a lot. We seem to tickle each other a lot and stuff so I guess I flirt with her time to time and she doesn't get weird or anything.

Anyway lately she seems to be telling me about the guys that she thinks like her, she doesn't act thrilled about them or anything (is she trying to hint to me?). Lately she's been acting a little strange in my view, but at my last school dance I never had the chance to dance with her; she brought this up lately after she mentioned that the Valentine's Day dance is coming up. I hesitated to ask her before and it cost me when she had a boyfriend. Now I really want to ask her out but does it sound like I'd get a no or a yes. Should I ask her out at all?

Trying to decide:

Dear Trying:

There are no guarantees in life and I don't have a crystal ball. Go for it. It sounds like she may be dropping hints, and anyway, you'll never succeed in anything if you don't try. Life is risky, especially relationships.

Best of Luck
