I apologise for the length of this.

Firstly, she finds me attractive and I find her attractive. FACT.

I invited her to the christmas ball and she accepted. Good. (Yes, she knows she is coming as MY DATE.)

We are classmates. I'm very 'alpha' and girls are talking to me all the while in class. It's acting and physical theatre so I'm always very close to the ladies. Physically and Mentally. I focus on her when I can tell she gets jealous. It works and it's a good mindset. After knowing her for 2 months, I'm still not in the 'friendzone' (let's be honest, I could easily friendzone her right now if I wished)

In class, she wears my jumpers for warmth. Talks of sexual tension between the two of us are always present.

Now, it got tricky. After she bailed on grabbing a bite to eat after class I messaged her saying

Me : 'So am I ever going to take you out for a rehearsal or not?'

Her : Maybe baby!

I didn't reply. Saw her in class next day, same old, pure flirting and tension between the two. As part of an acting scene, I had to strip down to my boxers and vest.

Texting next day.

Me : I'll bet you a strawberry and cream grande that you dreamt of me pantless last night. (That is her favourite starbucks drink)

Her : Hahahah, who knows.

Me : You're an enigma, you know that? Can't read you at all....

Her : Exactly. Any questions? (:

Me : I do actually. What's your favourite colour? I guess I'll learn you eventually, even if it takes one question at a time.....:)

her : Beige. (I was annoyed at this short reply but broke through it)

me : (This is the part where you ask me a question back) ((always double check spelling and grammar, I kicked myself when I saw I had put where instead of were. ))

her : What attracts you to me? (SHIT TEST ALL ABOARD, must not give her what she wants)

me : I could ask you the same about me. Emotions are.....spontaneous. I won't write you a monologue.

5 hours later, still no reply debating whether to text her. Fuck it.

Me : My turn captain no reply. What attracts you to...me?

Her : the charming chocolate man with dreamy eyes and a firm but bony ass (Context for you, this is a part of the invitation I sent to her inviting her to the ball. It was a witty hilarious text invitation. Her quoting this was actually brilliant of her.)

Me : :) I'm going to kiss you saturday.

her : Are you now :)

I didn't reply, 2 days later came Saturday.

30 minute before class she stands next to me as I'm talking to people. I grab her by the arm to move her away, so I can kiss her, she's smiling her head off but keeps saying 'no' , after the third tug, she's a stone, so I go 'ok' and we resume talking in a group. I brush it off.

After great face time, tickling her neck when she is sat down. Her watching me get a massage from another woman. Then, somehow, it's just me and her in a dark room. I say to her

'There's something I have to do to you' (OBVIOUSLY implying it's time to kiss, I hold her by the hips.' her : 'umm no there isn't' she says almost panicky and runs off smiling, I say you little tease and she giggles.

Packing my bag, she says 'are you pissed off?' I reply, 'no, why you ask?' she walks away. wtf. I go up to her and say in her ear 'what makes you say that? after she mumbles something I say to her 'You're secretly shy aren't you? You act all confident....but you're not.'

She walks off while saying 'Oh I'm confident, Carrotmaster...i'm just a tease...' and WALKS OUTA CLASS. DGBXJGHDJGH

I text her saying

me : Tease. x

her : :)

Me : We're going to kiss one way or the other. Maybe not next week, maybe not at the ball (probably at the ball) but it's going to happen eventually. I'll just enjoy the build up.

her : you should be so lucky.

me : You flatter yourself Isabella, you're the lucky one.

her : Doubt it Angelo.

Me : The teaser or the teased, who sins most??

No reply from her. Ceasing all contact until I see her next time in class. I won't act different at all. I'm still going to be focusing on the girls around her, making them laugh. Acting like she hasn't phased me.

Context : She plays Isabella from Shakes measure for measure, I play Angelo. The teased sins line is a line from the play, just modified teased from tempter.

How did I go wrong? Is it not over you think? She's still coming to the ball. She finds me attractive. Maybe she is just playing around. I can't interpret text messages for the life of me.

Any feedback is valuable.
