I start my first game ever with this girl I like. My friends and I organized a small reunion and they invited her, "it's a miracle" her friends say because it's the first party she accepted to go since we started college almost 2 years ago (according to them).

When we met I greeted her. I was nervous. When my group started to talk about alcohol and they asked her what she would like to drink she said: "I don't like to drink" , after that, in order no to be too quiet, I said: "Yeah!, what if we buy a bottle of soda or juice?, I don't like to drink either" - after I said that, all my friends (Male & female) were looking at me and smiled and laughed. I was obvious with my comment I guess. Let's call her M, she smiled.

While talking, my friends were pretty obvious about my interest about her and that didn't ruin my game but just made it weird. Right here I lost the first opportunity to show desire. A friend asked to everyone, one by one, :"who's the most beautiful girl in our semester?" - I got nervous just smiled and awkwardly kept in silence for several seconds till I lost my chance. I was struggling and I wanted to say this looking to M making strong eye contact: "Well, I think you look cute when you smile". First pretty casual opportunity lost.

After that I had the guts to talk to her directly and we conversated about our career a little bit, I wasn't in front of her all the time and I was struggling to keep a strong body language. I noticed she wasn't being defensive or showing indifference so everything was cool but I stopped talking and we had a weird moment of silence.

The second time I succesfully started a small talk was when she was talking to another guy who was like 40. He was into the rock vibe, started talking about metal so I entered into the conversation and talked to the guy about rock, metal and stuff. The guy was pretty amazed of my knowledge because I mentioned some old music from his era and he was like "holy shit, aren't you too young to know those bands?" - He was surprised. Jackpot! ,I catched the attention of M and she started to be more interested in talking to me, I saw her inmediately moving her body in my direction, looking at me and paying more attention, but most of time crossed arms.

Second succesful small talk I had with her. After a while I was just talking about metal with her but the vibe died fast, I kept in silence awkwardly and she moved to talk to her friends. The night was boring at this point and just talked to her like a friend and didn't show my interest or made a little bit of sexual tension. Her closest friends arrived and I got rid of it and started talking to them. Now it's a good time to say something that might be important. I don't want to think I have oneitis, this red haired cute girl just drives me crazy and maybe the fact that I never had a girlfriend and I did absolutely nothing to achieve it, until this girl.

I saw her for the first time almost a year and a half ago, when I started college and never approached to her by myself until last night, but before it was pretty obvious i like her and she might already know .Later, I was talking with everyone. The girl starts talking to a couple of my friends and I take the chance to talk to her again, at the moment I arrived to the group, she left.

I stopped approaching to her for a while and started dancing with my female friends. I didn't give a damn when she left and kept talking to my friends and storytelling, I noticed she looked at me twice while she was talking to her friends. Here's where I'm confused. She left when I arrived and later she comes and asked me where was her friend, and I wasn't exactly the one who could know that, obviously this could be a simple and innocent question or could be a weak try of starting a conversation with me (?). Later my friend and I succeeded at talking with the girls and we sat down in the stairs. M just told me in a joking way: "Don't take me away from my friend". She left with her friends later and said goodbye to her and that was all. She was never into me completely and we just talked without showing mutual romantic or sexual interest except when my friends made those weird moments: "He's the best person I've ever met" or the girls saying : "you're my favorite one of the group". I'm pretty sure she knows. I don't want her to think she's on the clouds. Last night I made a progress after all, poorly but It's something and I also learned a couple of things. We met so I can talk to her in the college, next time I see her. I want your advice. Next time I see her I'll invite her to hangout and I really don't know if it will work, but if I wait more and more it'll suck, maybe another guy bangs her or maybe she'll just put me in the friendzone. My objective, her as my gf. In other point of view, She's a shy girl so... I need advice.
