hey, so i've been talkin to this girl. she and i have hung out a lot after school and we're in the same friend group. she and i are pretty casual friends but im really interested in her. she doesnt have any real form of social media due to her family being against technology so i cant really message her. i feel as if im being too forward about my intentions and i feel that as a result she might be avoiding me? not too sure on that so i might update on that. i've really fallen hard for this girl but im not sure how far i can go, i've tested the waters just today. i can hug her face with my arm and tickle her in a friendly manner (sounds weird to say i tickled her bleh). so far she seems fine with it but when it comes to direct stuff (i tried to lean on her but she didnt seem to like that (im taller than her by a lot so i may have put too much weight on leaning). apparently she's never fallen for a guy she knows so im not sure how to tread the ice here, she treats guys and girls mostly the same. lately it seems as if she's avoiding me, i'll update on that cuz it could be something else. advice on getting the grill?

Don't get the girl. Be friends with girl. Be as best a friend you can be and let her make the advancements. She's walled in by a more or less controlled environment and knows the dangers of foreign scenarios such as modern romances. You need to let her get comfortable with you as just friends. The issue here isn't getting her to love you- it's getting you to love her enough to respect relationships take time to develop.
