Ok, so I'm a 16 year old guy who is very confused with what to do right now with this girl that I like. What it comes down to is that last month(the eve of the 4th of July), my dad and I went to a campsite that his friend has. One of her daughters is a girl that I soon became attracted to. Me, her and others(us kids only)went to swim in the lake and after that her and I even went on a long walk together(saw some fireworks). So after that I Facebook messaged her and she said that we could hang out sometime. Eventually I told her that she can always invite me to a park that she lives by if she's ever over there(she says she goes there a lot. So now I'm just leaving it up to her, but it's been 2 weeks and I haven't gotten a text from her. Now just today I see that this guy pn one of her FB posts telling her that he likes her, and asked her to FaceTime him.

Being someone with Aspergers, I can't really figure out if I should either do anything, or continue to let things be. Because I'm usually not one to tell someone that I like them that way when I barely know them, but maybe I'm being a little too passive. Even if it is better to let things be, It kinda makes me think twice about leaving her alone too much after seeing another guy compliment her like that on social media.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah.....maybe you're being a little too passive. She's not going to ask you to the lake. Even in 2016, girls usually don't do this sort of thing.

You have to start really talking to her, and FaceTime/whatsAp her. You have competition now.

This is a time where you have to do something. Having Aspergers shouldn't deter you.

Go ahead and ask her out. She might be waiting for you to do so. If she says no, then move on. The teenaged years are more about practicing social skills rather than establishing long term relationships.
