So there's this girl that I think likes me in school. She is decent and hangs around cool kids. I'm decent and I hang around the un-cool crowd. You know the kids that are random and don't care/emo kids. So She started secretly kinda flirting with me. Giving me looks, staring, getting a bit close to me than normal. Like last week i was talking to her next to the fish tank in science and she moved close to me and my hand touched her ass. I didn't move because I wanted to see her reaction...and she wasn't offended. And then we were sitting in the computer room doin a project and we talked a lot during that whole period and I would gently touch her, you know to get the message that I like you. She didn't seem weirded and I had my hand on her back for a good 10 or more seconds before I got off. And then today I thought "her why not get some info?". So after class I asked "hey do you like anyone in this school?" She proceeded with "Well I don't know. The guys in my grade are kinda assholes". I just replied with "oh...that sucks" as I slowly slowed my walking. I felt like such a retard and I'm still sad about this. I could not bring myself to ask the question even though I do like her and I'm pretty sure she likes me. What should I do? What did that answer mean? If any girls would like to comment that would be most helpful. I really feel crappy because I'm so shy and I hate to get rejected. Thanks in advance for your help.
