im in love with most confusing girl ever! please help!?

[Drew]

ok so over the past 6 months i slowly made my way into getting emotional with this girl ive liked for ages. first she liked or commented on everything i did on facebook, and we chatted a bit on there as well. she was always smiley and chatty when i was around her. but she is super cute and im just average so i never really pursued it... anyway we got chatting one time and we manage to plan a movie night with our friends and it was fun. a couple of weeks later i invited all those friends to another movie and no one came except her! so i hung out with her and it was nice. i didnt make a move or anything coz i still thought she just wasnt really into me. after that i never got around to going out with her on anything for a month or so. Then i sent her a text one time when my holidays came up and i said, 'you wanna do something these holidays' and she replied with 'you wanna go on a double date with me?' and i was like YEEEESSSS! so we went on a date and i held her hand and it was great! after that we went out with our friends again and that night i told her i really liked her and she said she really liked me too! next she had exams for 3 weeks so i couldnt see her coz her parents made her study and not go out. was a long 3 weeks, but i spoke to her on facebook everyday and we expressed our feelings for each other. turns out she had a crush on me for as long as she could remember! we eventually saw each other at a party, where all her friends were at. she left her friends for most of night and spoke with me. we expresssed how we felt about each other face to face and it was amazing! at the end we had the best hug ever! and i intended on seeing her soon again! later on we planned on going on a date again but things didnt work out and i had to wait more than a week to see her. but i called her a couple of times and spoke to her on facebook. eventually we went on a date. but she changed i went in for a romantic hug and she was just like 'i wanna take it slow...' and i was like 'ok' we sat and chatted on the beach most of it. i was into her but she wasnt into me much. the day after i asked her what happened and she said, 'her parents dont want her in another relationship coz she got in a bad one earlier' but she still wants to go out on groups and occaisional doubles with me. she doesnt wanna be in a relationship, just be good friends who really like each other and shes ready for another relationship start it then. so anyways later that week i went to a party with all her friends again and she didnt speak to me at all until very end when i said to her 'we didnt get to speak at all' and we left it there. after that i asked her what happened and she said 'she wanted to socialize and not get emotional with me' so i foolishly asked her if she wanted to do something and she was 'busy'. i then found out she complained a little to her friend that i was pushy with trying to get to do things with her. so we spoke again and i apoloigized and we worked it out, she wants to be good friends! but this friday we have a ball that i asked her to go with me to a few weeks ago. i asked her if she still wanted to go with me and she did, but she wants to hang out with her friends there as well. so what can i do this friday, to try and win her heart back. she still likes me, she's is just scared of relationships. will i ever be able to embrace her even if she just wants to be close friends?

well if it's a ball you should try to see if you can get a slow song playing and ask her for one friendly dance and try to talk to her and tell her that you're not like that guy that once hurt her and compliment her but don't over do it kind of give her space too.

Wow. That is confusing, but I think I can help you. When you're at the ball hangout with some of your friends too so she doesn't feel like you're being 'pushy' or anything but still hangout with her part of the time so she doesn't feel like you've forgotten her. And if she doesn't want to go with you as a couple, then ask her if she'll go with you as friends so you're technically going with her, but she won't feel like you're pressuring her to be in a relationship with you. Hope this helps you and good luck!!!
