After about two months of being unsure of whether or not my girlfriend really liked me very much, I actually confronted her about it last night on the phone, and made her feel sort of uncomfortable and upset (though I wasnt sure what she was upset at)...I was pretty bummed that she was bummed when I saw her at school today. I finally found her at our lockers before lunch, she always goes there, and she was kind of acting like she was trying to put it behind us, but I pulled her aside for about 5 minutes and asked her if I said something stupid, or if I upset her, and she said "yeah, kind of. But it's okay, i'm glad you told me what you were thinking."
I think it just took me a while to realize that my girlfriend is not much at all like other girlfriends, she is very very slow to the physical girlfriend thing, she hardly ever makes any sort of move, and if I make one, she often makes me feel awkward for doing it...this was the main reason I was really afraid that she didn't like me as much as I've liked her.
But she said to me today, "sometimes I just do things that I don't want to do, and I think 'why did I do that'" So I wanted an answer: I said "Am I a little bit of a burden to you? Do you ever get even a little annoyed that I'm around?" And she said "No." I really think i've just been taking her inexperience (though I am inexperienced too) the wrong way. I think she does like me, and she is just very shy about this stuff.
I just feel so much better realizing this. But I admit, it does sort of disappoint me that she doesnt cuddle up to me or lay on my stomach or anything ever like I'd like. She really makes my eyes go in the back of my head, she's SO CUTE.
So I could deal with this shyness in two ways:
1) The current way: Just let her be shy and don't make moves, thus keeping us at this level of relationship
2) Make some more moves, hope she doesn't think I'm awkward/weird, and hope she likes me as I like her. Then we can move forward?
