Two Fridays ago, I was over at my crushes house to hang out with her brother. I finally got the nerve to make a move by giving her a what I like to call a “promise to date” ring. You see, she isn’t allowed to date until she turns 16, but I am willing to wait for her (the age gap isn’t too severe).
Anyway, the way I was going to go about giving it to her was to first have her look up what they are by using Google. This is where the trouble began. First of all, she asked me to type it in. I asked her why, she didn’t say much. Then I asked her if she could spell it, she said no (I didn’t think that much of it until later on when I saw a piece of paper, in her handwriting, that mentioned the word promise). When I typed it in for her and got to the site I was thinking of, an ad popped up. She clicked it off and we finally got to the site. She saw a few seconds of it, then another ad came up. That’s when she said “what is this?”. I said “just an ad” and clicked it off. Once everything was settled down she began to look at the site itself, but soon stopped and said “I’m not reading this.” I asked her why not and she sort of gave me an I don’t know. Then she said “I’m going upstairs” where her parents were. The funny thing is that she never told them about what I attempted to do. No, she is not illiterate. I know for a fact that one of her favorite hobbies is reading novels.
What convinced me to do this were the signs that she gives me such as: looking at me when I’m not looking at her (sometimes while giggling), mimicking me, asking people she knows questions about me, showing concern for me if she thinks I’m in trouble, her friends act differently around me, sometimes she blushes around me, etc. What’s peculiar is that she still looked at me a couple of times hours after I tried to give her the ring. Although, two days later, I saw her with her mom at a flea market, and she didn’t give me any signs at all. She wouldn’t even look in my direction (she looked everywhere but in the direction that I was standing).
