[April Masini, your AskApril]

I think you have to find out if she told you she doesn’t have time for a boyfriend because she really doesn’t have time for a boyfriend or because it was a softer way of letting you down instead of telling you she just wasn’t that interested.

If she’s really too busy to date, then befriending her and staying close is your best bet. It’s a much better position from which to win her over than any other. But if she’s being truthful and is more interested in her school work than a relationship right now, I think that waiting in the wings (which I know you don’t want to do) until she’s available is all you can hope for.

I know you’re fabulous looking and in great shape, but sometimes even Adonis’ need help! Check out my book called Date Out of Your League for hints and tips you haven’t yet tried to win her over.
