I ' m from central Mississippi . <| sep |> It seems like she ' s interested , or at least attracted to you ! I ' d play it safe , and don ' t ask her on a date yet . just try to hang out with her as much as possible . Maybe you can walk her home from school , maybe you can hang out with her in a group setting . Try confiding in her , people feel automatically closer to someone when they ' re telling each other secrets , it adds intimacy to a friendship , and that ' s one step closer to dating . Or if that ' s not possible , do try to ask her out again . The worst she can say is no , and it seems like she was flattered the first time you asked , since she ' s only become closer to you since then . Maybe asking again will have the same result .
