Just a little bit of a tip,
DJ: BE SUBTLE. You may not think that it is the best way to get her attention, but here's a little story about me and Wilbur (also known as boyfriend number 2).
Once upon a time, there was a school trip which sent 45 students around Australia with some teachers. One night, a group of 7 or so students decided to break away from the main group, who were all sitting around playing cards, and play Truth or Dare. As is expected, about three turns into the game, things started to get a little bit more heated, and the first kissing dare was given out.
This went on and on for a fair while, until one girl dared me to make-out with Wilbur. Now, Wilbur was the kind of guy I'd fall for - hard. He was tall, stunning blue eyes, gorgeous hair, muscular, smart, musical...pretty much an all round perfect guy in my books. So, I accepted the dare, and yes. It was quite lovely, and I found that I had actually started developing feelings for him.
It seemed like he reciprocated my feelings towards him, and after some snooping by a friend of mine, I asked him out. He said no. Cue the heartbreak. Ow. Worst thing of it was, I was stuck on a trip with him for another week, and it wasn't like I could just leave, seeing as we were in the middle of a desert...no joke.
Anyway, we went back to school the next term, and I still really liked Wilbur, but I didn't want to ask him out again because it seemed he didn't like me. So I let the matter drop. I still sat near him, because that's just where our groups were, but I didn't make the complete effort to go out of my way and flirt with him. I would do the whole subtle flirting, and I didn't think he was realizing.
That was until he walked up to me one day after class, and asked if I wanted to see a movie with him. I'll tell you now, I nearly passed out from happiness, but I said yes, and thus the relationship began. I didn't throw myself in his face, proclaim my love for him, or anything like that. So, just a pointer, be a bit more subtle.
Then again, that's just a tip from a girl who has had her heart "broken" and has learned the lesson.
