Alright so, this is my pathetic attempt to get some type of satisfaction and advice.
Keep in mind while reading, I am a 20 year old male, and the girl I talk about is 19
Part1 of the story
Over the passed year or so, My best friends sister starts expressing interest in me. I have known her for years, and we have always flirted a little bit. I had never really acted on anything nor did I really want to, I had respect for the fact that it was my friends sister and hey that's just an awkward situation.
During june our families (and a few others) rented a house down in obx for a week. It was then that she was really laying it on me thick, and I had been getting proggressively more interested in her to begin with. She had a boyfriend at the time, but he was abusive and sleeping around, someone I knew from high school none the less and I never thought much of him. Things with her and him were unraveling fast before I even seriously considered dating her, by the time I decide to date her he is long gone - partly because I told him off.
I wasn't going to act on anything without first consulting my friend and letting him know what was going on in full, so we had a heart to heart and he told me that he actually WANTED me to date his sister because "I would take care of her better than anyone ever has" which I thought was a very noble thing to say. So I allowed myself to start getting closer with her during our time on vacation and we talked about things, I still (even after talking with my friend) didn't ask her out seriously or anything because I was still thinking things over deciding what was best.
We get home from the trip continue to talk more, I had thought it through by this point and realized that this was what I wanted, so I tell her how I feel, and that I really think we could have something, she agrees. We setup date(s) for the next weekend after discussing all that, she sends me edless text messages telling me how much she can't wait to see me over the weekend and all that. The weekend comes, I was going over to her house (also my best friends house) so I get there about 7 pm she's not there.. I hang out with my friend for awhile until she gets home around 12 midnight comes down, kisses me hangs out for about 30 min. Then un-announced leaves goes to bed. Next day I'm still there she's not home all day, doesn't come home till 12 again same story. I leave the next day, she's not there in the morning. So basically she planned out the whole weekend for us to hang out and isn't there at all when it actually happens.. I was dissapointed to say the least.
I decide maybe its time to affirmitively let her know how serious I am/have become. So I ask her out and tell her exactly how I've come to feel, you know.. That whole thing. I really expect her to give an enthusiastic response and be so happy that finally we would be pursuing this. She simply tells me "we need to talk in person" and ever since that, she ignores me completely every time I have tried to contact her, even though half of the times it was to setup an in person meeting so we could "talk in person" right? I would just go over but I have no clue if she'll be home or not.
Bottom line, recent events don't make sense AT ALL to me.. Lol to say the least. I've gone ahead and taken guesses that maybe she's getting back together with an old boyfriend and doesn't know what to tell me, or maybe there's just some other guy I don't know about or something - But I haven't asked her any of this, simply have persisted to try and talk to her and get her to tell me what's going on. Just to be clear I am not consistantly spamming her trying to get her to talk to me, Just enough that she knows I am wondering what is going on and that eventually we are going to half to talk.
SO NOW THAT YOU READ MY LIFE STORY (APOLOGIES) tell me what can I do? What could be going on? Anything.. I need people to talk to and I really don't know who to go to specifically for this. My parents are terrible dating advice since neither of them actually dated (they met when they were 12 and have litterally been together since then. I guess that crap isn't just movies? Lol)
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this and give me any type of reply! It means much.
First of all, I want to say that it is nice to be able to actually read all of the way through, and understand the story without a bunch of text talk!
The thing that hit me first, is that she is disrespecting you a whole lot. She is making plans with you, and then not carrying through with them. Obviously you like her a lot, but she is "standing you up" quite a bit from what you've said. Then she tells you that she needs to talk to you privately, but avoids that too.
She may be playing you and the other guy, it's hard to say. But!, that's really not the point. The point is, that she has said things to you, and you to her, and she for whatever reason is blowing you off.
I would give her one last chance to talk about the "personal talk" that she wants to have. See if she shows up for that. If she doesn't, let her know that you are not going to stick around for games, and you want to find someone who really wants to spend time with you, and you deserve that. You gave her chances, and she played the avoidance card, so you will find someone who is straight up and honest.
Then stick to that, and tell her that you don't have time for games. If she is really serious about anything she has said to you, she will contact you. DON'T contact her! You don't have to be mean, just be sincere in saying, and knowing that you expect respect, and in turn will give it. If you let her know that you will move on, and not wait around for when it's a good time for her (like at midnite) she might think twice. If she doesn't...tell your buddy that he's still your bud, and both of you go out and meet some new girls!
Hope everything works out the way it's meant to be for you!

I really appreciate the good answer. It gave me a few things to think about, hopefully she responds to me eventually so I can tell her something like what you have suggested.
Well I'll be heading back to college in a matter of weeks (its pretty close by anyway), so I guess she has until then to make up her mind, or at least start talking. If its not going to work out (I would really love it to though) then.. College = lots of girls and I'm sure I can meet someone else no problem.

Dude.... This is going to sound harsh but I suggest you look for her to see where the hell she's at. Basically, you need to spy on her to get more info; if you confront her, she'll change the subject.. If you find out yourself, that's not a bad case. I feel like this girl is doing something wrong and coming home at midnight. I'm 100% sure your friends' sister does not go to the movie theatres daily to watch the movies...

Starting out a relationship by "spying", is just wrong! If you feel the need to spy, then the relationship will not likely work period. If you can't start out with trust as a foundation, you have nothing there to begin with. If this is the way you went about things, with a lot of game playing, maybe it's why you are in the situation that you are in now hjpan? Something to think about! Maybe your need a new plan!

You can't spy on a girl...yeah just can't. ...It doesn't matter whether or not you get caught doing it...but your entire relationship will be then based on you not trusting her. One of the best things in a relationship is to be able to trust that person, and give them absolutely blind trust. If you can't do that...why even bother? Might as well a business partnership.

Despite how frustrating the situation has made me, I gave her my trust and I wouldn't lower myself and credibility by spying. I will admit that I had the urge to try and get to the bottom of it myself by snooping around but I just decided that I would be patient and wait to see if she will come to me and talk, if not then I guess I'll never know - at least I can rest assured I did the right thing.

If it's consistent... Then spying is the only option =/
That's what I meant

If you think spying is the ONLY other option, then you really do have alot to learn, and you will have a very hard time finding a "good woman", who will put up with your methods. Source:

Actually, if it's consistent, then leaving her is the only option. Spying isn't even an option...because you eventually become "that guy" and the girl will eventually end up getting a TRO on you. ...don't be that stalkerish guy, hjpan.

For the past couple of days, my ex-girlfriend has been ignoring me. She doesn't want to talk to me during school at all. She just instant messages me and asks me for help for homework.. I say hi or ask her questions, but she won't answer at all when I get a chance to see her. We left off on...
